PDA / Handheld PC Advice: In the U.S.
 

I'm looking for something I can use to keep a constant connection to aim & icq. I have a phone through nextel right now although I'd be willing to get another mobile account specificly for this.

So yeah, just something to keep a constant online connection with aim & icq. Any advice on providers & devices?

bump bump!

Anyone?

Get an XDA http://www.my-xda.com/help6_xda.html

Q6 Does the xda support the ICQ?

A6 Yes, ICQ for Pocket PC Ver 1.0 Beta can be downloaded from http://www.icq.com/download/ftp-pocketpc.html.

Get the PPC-6600 Smart Devict - avail. thru SprintPCS or Verizon.

So far so good.... ICQ works great and it has the new broadband web connection 300k per second...

Bump. :)

BUmp bump.

Does your cell phone support bluetooth? If not i recommend getting a Cingular or T-mobile cell phone that supports bluetooth. You will then be able to access from the PDA wirelessly connecting to the cell phone.

Thanks for the bumps!

Well I went and did some first-hand research of my own. Looks like cingular has the treo 600 $200 & treo 650$300 (both very nice pda's). & has plans for as little as 49.99 unlimited access no voice. Which would allow me to be connected to the net 24/7 and not need a voice plan (which most other providers do).

Anyway, I'm not done researching but this combo looks like the best options. If anyone has other opinions drop em in here!

I have the Treo 600 with Cingular...Go for the 650 because it has bluetooth...

But it works great...Lots lots of fun programs...hit me up when you get it...I'll hook ya up

yea treo 650 is good

Nextel really sucks balls.
They claim to be biz all the way ... but I see other companies way ahead of them.

I currently have an i860 and the service is not all that, for what i'm paying.

I love nextel. Almost everyone I know owns one & between us all the 2-way is an unbeatable service.

This thread isn't about nextel's regular service though (or any companies regualr service). It's about pda's and mobile internet providers.

Get a Blackberry. You can connect to MSN / ICQ / Yahoo / whatever, send and receive e-mail, connect to the internet, telenet or ssh, etc. They're great.

I've looked into the blackberrys. They don't have nearly as many options as most of the other pda's do.
