Rubbish, all rubbish :P

The one you need is the HP iPAQ 6915 like wot I have.

Paul - Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc, all available on the iPAQ and you can edit email attachments etc, plus it has the sim card slot, uses GPRS and EDGE technology, it's quad band and worked perfectly in Malaysia recently.

I can collect emails all over the world, and edit and respond. I can send attachments, texts, MMS, video files, music whatever, and if the GPRS/EDGE is too slow, it has wirless connection for broadband if I am in a hotspot.

It never crashes (this is my second one and no problems with either (the first was lost...))

Not the cheapest, but definately the very best.

All IMHO of course..... :wink:

Running an old ipaq 6340... bit on the slow side, crashes all the time and bits fall off regularly.

Just fancied something different.


Oh... and I'm fed up with the touch screen when your on a call, opening things up etc if it rubs on you ear...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
