PDA'S

[fairydust]

What do you use your PDA for dh has said he would like to get one for me - so i jumped at the chance (after all a present is a present) but i havn't got a clue what to do with it.

Is there any particular reason why he wants to get one for you in the first place?

because i'm always loosing shopping lists - and cause dd has loads of appointments to log - basically i think it's just a toy for him

bump

dh has a phone and pda all in one
its a new model and he is very plaesd with it

oohh cod like the sound of that - do you know the name and model please?

I have a HP 3850 and I really should sell it if your interested lol

They are useful - it has pocket outlook, excel, word etc so you can use everything you would use those things for.

Fairydust, if it's going to be just a gadget for him, or just end up gathering dust in your handbag, can't you ask for something nice instead?!

I love my PDA! It's very old and they don't make them anymore - palm V - but it's a fantastic diary and address book - not so good for lists etc as it takes so long to type things in - have a filofax for that that I just have plain paper in - no diary- also backed up on the computer so I can print out anything I want from it - ooh go on get one - you will love it.

no idea wil look

I must be the only person here who like them. I've got an ipaq, a few years old now but its great, although I do sometimes worry about what would happen if it got lost or I forgot to back up on my laptop. I usually use it mainly for appointments etc and writing lists. I downloaded some games once, such as Monopoly but I drive most places now so don't have time to play on the bus as I did pre-dd. You can also use them to download music from a cd or internet etc.

this is dhs but he didnt pay that much as he has a contract for business calls

thank you all off to john lewis later to have alook there and will decide then

fairydust, i use (and have done for about 6 years) a smart phone which is basically the best bits of a mobilephone and pda in one.

diary with reminders- great for appointments, birthday reminders, notes, etc and all addresses and telephone numbers etc.

So now no longer need a pda and phone
nor like the old days a diary, an adress book and a mobile phone all together in one small(ish) gadget!!!! me ... I LOVE IT hth

i have a sony ericsson p800 which is a phone/pda
mines old now but they do a p900 and a newer one
i like mine cos i can do my online banking whilst on hols ect, you can buy them on ebay
