    Re: Looking to buy a PDA - advice please

    i dont like o2 any more..
    they are unfair...
    i got the xda2 last year...
    wen my contract ended this yr, i changed my tariff to the sim only online 400 tariff, which gives u double txts and minutes for the life of the contract, and ur not tied down 2 a 12 month deal ...

    so i fone up for an upgrade 2 the xda2i...
    told its a £100..
    hagled em down to £70
    but when i go to get it, the bloke goes, as im on the sim only tariff, id have to change back to the normal tariff to get that xda2i, and sign up 4 12months again...so id lose my double txts n mins...

    so now am stuck in the ice age till i can get my hands on an upgrade

    @ eggs...whats the xda2i like anyways ? does the wifi drain the battery alot ?

    Re: Looking to buy a PDA - advice please

    depends, you get about 3hours surfin' , but the phone part of the thing in general use, last about 2 days.

    It is strange getting a technical manual e-mailed to you on a building site with no power or telecom lines.

    cheers

    Re: Looking to buy a PDA - advice please

    I bought(upgraded) to a smart phone its got all the functions of a pda/ wi-fi etc + its a phone

    Orange Spv m2000 most of the networks have the same phone and its called something else

    O2 xda iii vodaphone mda iii im sure someone else has it labelled as a samsung

    i use bluetooth to answer calls so theres no need to take it out of cradle when driving i havent purchased tom tom yet but people are telling me to go with the wired version and not bluetooth hope it works with earpeice so i dont have to suffer when using navigator we will see ill be purchasing it at xmas
