PDA phones Options

[Aaron]

I'm going to be buying the Sprint PPC-6700 on Friday. I'm pretty jazzed. I tried the whole PDA phone deal about four years ago with the SPH-i300 but wasn't really blown away by the capabilities enough to deal with the size and bulk.

Keep in mind that this was way before any of the providers had begun rolling out 3G, so web surfing was incredibly slow. Plus, no camera, no keyboard, no expandable memory, no wireless, no bluetooth, etc.

Anyone use one of these puppies?

i just bought a Treo 700wx yesterday... great shit. the PPC6700 was my choice until this came out... i think this is more useable.

I had an i300 as well, I loved it. I still have two of the phones without service, and they both work. Until recently, none of the other PDA phones have held a candle to it. My only complaint about the 700wx is the battery life, but both my parents just got them as well and they aren't having this problem, so I think I just got a bum battery. As I've only had it for 36 hours, I haven't decided whether I'm going to take that in or not... maybe it needs to be broken in.


edit: totally missed brandon's mechwarrior reference. sweet.

another edit: the 700w can use the EVDO as a modem for your pc as well, although bluetooth for modem is disabled, you can get third party software to enable it. Palm pretty much did it to sell more of the p's than the W/WX's.
