Hello,
I would like to buy myself a PDA phone. I am currently in Hong Kong, but will be moving to Norway in a few months. I'd like a phone that works in both countries.
I haven't been paying attention to the cell phone market for quite a while, but my old phone (Nokia 3410) is showing signs of aging badly. If I am to buy a new phone, I would prefer to buy one that will last me a while, both in terms of features and durability.
I don't mind a big or heavy phone, if that is what it takes to get all the features I want at a good price. Similarly, I will probably go with a phone that is a few months to half a year old, so that I a) won't be paying a premium for novelty and b) can see which cell phones are good enough to hang around in the long term.
As for features, here are some that I have considered (but feel free to suggest must-have features that I may have overlooked):
I'd like a decent camera if possible, as I can see the usefulness of that.
It should be a PDA phone or at least have a good personal organizer function.
I would like infrared/bluetooth, and the possibility of using the phone as a modem, since I own a laptop.
A QWERTY keyboard would be a plus.
I don't need games or built-in mp3 capability (have a portable player already).
The menu system doesn't need to be simplistic, but it must be quick and powerful.
Battery life is not very important. I usually charge my cellphone once per day or maybe every other day.
Any suggestions?
