  1. bro, the prism looks a little girly lah. summore, the keypad is placed rather clumsily. i reckon the e71 would be a better choice. nokia's e series are more business minded. can do a lot of stuff especially with emails.

  2. i also agree that u choose the PDA phone. it has more features, and it is more customizable.

    if u want. u can actually flash the firmware and run either windows mobile or Linux gnome mobile in it so that u can use like those HTC PDA, coz this 1 doesn't seems like running on Windows mobile OS.

  4. yeah, HTC is quite expensive for a local made PDA.

    anyway, u know that HTC is actually dopod? they was taken over by another company, then they re brand it.
