Hi to all. Please i need your help/suggestions. i'm planning to buy a new mobile phone or pda but i need to know which one will serve my purpose. important for me is to browse the internet using wifi. especially opening my gmail account and browsing news sites like cnn, etc...

which do you recommend, a mobile phone or a PDA? appreciate any feedback.

PDA advantages and disadvantages:
+You can surf the internet with pictures.
-You can't talk like you would on a regular phone. (Some PDAs do allow this, though, such as the IPaq)
+Camera, and maybe recording of videos.
+You can insert memory chips with data so you can tranfer it to and from your PDA.
-You have to pay for phone service and IM service. (If the PDA supports it, and sometimes you don't)
+Touch screen support.
-Rough setup screens. (Or that's just me)
+Can play music.
+You can run it like a computer, with programs to make you feel like you're right at home using your computer.

Phone advantages and disadvantages:
+Bluetooth support. (If supported)
-You have to pay for service.
+Slimer design than a PDA. (Depends, really)
-You can search the internet, but it doesn't really show pictures or like a regular website, just plain text.
+Camera and video recording.
+Usually cheaper than a PDA.
-Sometimes can become useless if there's no service.
-Can't play music, only ringtones. (Unless it's a LG Chocolate phone, or any phone that supports it)
-/+A lot of services to choose from, with alot of advantages and disadvantages, but sometimes can get annoying when choosing.
That's about all I can name.


All in all, I'd recommend you go with a PDA, but it's really your choice, not ours.
