October 28th, 2009

The PDA phone revolution is here. Only a few years ago, many of us used to carry around a cell phone as well as a PDA, and suffered form the “too much a handle” syndrome. The PDA as well as the cell-phone manufacturers saw this development, and sensed that people need something else. Their answer was to come out with a PDA phone, or a smartphone. This sophisticated device integrates a PDA with a cell phone and allows you to stay on to of things without getting over-whelmed. The smart phone will enable you to:

1. Keep one calendar instead of two.

2. Talk to people on the phone and check things on your email on the web at the same time. This saves a lot of time and returned phone calls.

3. Carry less

4. Upgrade just one device instead of two, when it’s time to upgrade.

5. Look sharper than ever!

So after we talked about the many advantages of having a smartphone, how do you find the Best PDA Phones and choose the one for you?

There are quite a few smartphone manufacturers – iPAQ, Palm-Treo and BalckBerry to name a few.

When ever you look for a PDA phone, pay attention to theses parameters:

1. Is it compact and light? some smartphones are just heavy and awkward to handle. You don’t need that. Go for a light and thin device that won’t be a burden.

2. Is it easy operate? Some PDA phones have complicated menus that require you to invest a lot of effort. Take a good look at how the PDA phone in operated and look for one that is easy.

3. Does it use standard software? – most smartphones are. But just check to be sure. You don’t want a smartphone that is “spoiled” and needs special software and accessories to operate at a basic level. For instance, prefer one that uses an operating system like the Palm OS.

4. Is the phone working well? There is a fine balance between the PDA and the Phone parts in any phone PDA. The Best PDA Phones balance that well and both parts work perfectly, and are fully integrate. Make sure yours does.

5. Do you feel comfortable with it? Perhaps the most important one of all. If you’re not comfortable with the device, it deosn’t really matter if it’s considered the best in the market, does it? Choose the one you feel good about.

Taking a good look at the variety of smartphonmes as well as reading reviews and consulting with owners is good practice. It will ensure you come up with the Best PDA Phones on the market, from which you can choose yours.

How to Choose Between the Best Pda Phones – in 4 Easy Steps

October 13th, 2009

Ron Hel-Or asked:


If you ever wanted to find yourself a PDA, or wanting to replace a PDA you already own with a better one, it’s not the easiest process. That’s because of the great variety of pocket pc’s that are already the market. There is a great deal of choice available and this makes the actual process a bit hard for people who are not too technically-oriented. Here’s a layout of the decision process one should consider following when choosing the best PDA phones.

1st step – decide on what status of pocket pc you want to purchase. When I talk about what status, I mean new, used or rectified PDA. All models can be acquired as used, if you look deeply into a site like ebay.com. And even the best PDA phones break down, thus it is possible to get a rectified PDA that the manufacturer or distributor cannot sell as new. The greatest advantage of getting a used or rectified pocket pc is the significant price reduction that you enjoy. Of course, the disadvantage is that it was used before you got it, and that it possibly suffered from some kind of malfunction. If you choose to get a used or rectified PDA, pay special attention to the warranty you get. The best PDA phones come with a warranty even when they are used.

2nd step – define your needs – sit down for a few minutes and make a list of the thing you need from your pocket pc. An example list would be: send and receive emails, calendar, read and write documents, navigate to new destinations with a GPS system, play multimedia games…and the like. The best PDA phones for your needs will be the ones that answer all or most of your needs. So all you have to do is look at the models available on amazon.com or a local shop and see which are the best PDA phones when it comes to answering your needs.

3rd step – feel the PDA. It’s important you handle the PDA you look at purchasing for at least a few seconds. See if it suits you. Maybe the keyboard is too small. Maybe the screen is too dark…If you can go to an electronics store and handle the PDA you are looking at buying for a while, it will add to your decision making process, as some aspects are not transferable to paper.

4th step – Meeting the reality. If you follow the above process, you should have a short list of the best PDA phones for your purposes. This list will be shortened ever further after you put the price factor into place. After all, we are all after getting the best price for what we want. So, considering the price, you can now make a decision of the pocket pc you want to purchase.

After all, choosing between the best PDA phones is doable in a few days time. Just remember to balance between your desires and true needs, and don’t get into buying the flashiest PDA. Buy the one you really need
