What all options are available in handheld decices? I'd like it to have good internet capabilities (mails are must) and a decent organizer and communicator would be ideal.
I have considered HP iPAQ 6515, but looks a bit more expensive than what I am willing to pay. (approx 30K INR). The other option is BlackBerry. What other options are available. I am looking for 15-25 K INR (350 - 550 USD) range.
Any suggestions?
TIA, - Manish

General options - Bluetooth enabled. Optionally Wifi. Wirless 801.b/g and other protocols. RAM size matters. Thumbpad versus stylus for typing. Upgrade slots - CF or SD card formats. CF is very popular. OS choice between PalmOS and Microsoft. Once you buy the device, expect to spend on the additional software.
Internet options- You need a service provider to surf the web on your pocket pc. Blackberry and the PDA/Phones from Verizon and Sprint are very popular in the US. If you have a bluetooth enabled PDA, you can get a dataplan on your bluetooth enabled cell phone and surf the web using PDA.
