Re: [dubailug] Which Stylus PDA + Mobile to go for???

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

a bit off topic - especially if you want to use this with XP.   You'd do better to ask which mobile pda you can sync with your favourite Linux distro and how..... If you're not interested in having a camera, consider the Sony Ericsson M600i.  You will need to use XP to update the device (boo), but at least you can do it yourself (yay!)  The M600i has great voice clarity, touch screen, bluetooth, infra-red, and a memory slot that uses the new Sony Micro Memory Stick format.  The biggest you can get right now is 1 GB.  The M600i comes with QuickOffice (for doc, xls) and pdf+.  To be fair, I haven't used the office software, but I do have many, many mp3s on the card.....   Regards Sean rexdorian wrote: I am looking for a stylus type mobile phone that has a PDA also. My initial choice was an Imate Jam But some said that it was not good. I even like the looks of Amida(http://www.amidasimputer.com/why/). But i am not sure of its in Dubai. I am in Dubai and not that interested in buying over the net. I use Thunderbird as my email client, calendar & manage my contacts. And i am looking for a device that will sync with thunderbird. My OS is XP. But I have PCs running on Ubuntu & Suse. Thinking of moving over but not sure if i will. This my first time. So, pls do advice me which brand device to go for and what OS is best suited. I dont need camera & other bells. But if its there, OK. I mainly want it to hvae bluetooth & slot of external memory. Yahoo!
