my new phone
Yes I am a happy owner of a new phone pda phone - HP iPAQ rw6828
And yes soft keypads sucks, but I am not a very much dependent on SMS writing so it’s kinda OK for me.
I like it a lot especially wifi connection! Wherever I go nowadays I can find wifi hotspots and surf. I am still exploring my new toy, a lot of things to get used to…
Meanwhile, here’s the list of softwares I installed additionally:
- Minimo - Mozilla Firefox for mobile
- Putty - Pocket PuTTY, yes I can connect to my linux servers and do my work with my phone!
- Opera - Opera for Mobile, trial version - I think it is much better the mobile IE and Firefox mobile. They have more experience in building browsers for such and other devices.
- Spb Shell - Screen customizer
- PocketIslam - This software contains Holy Quran in English, Hadith in English, Prayer table, Prayer schedule, Hijri Calendar and Hijri to Georgian conversion.
Here’s the list of softwares I would like to install:
- Linux (!) - yes I would love to try Linux on this device.
- Some sort of voice recording software. It needs to be saving recordings as mp3/wav
- A better E-Mail client
- FTP client - just basic needs, no GUI needed. Is it there already?
- Better music/media player
If you are a PDA phone user please do share your experiences and softwares used.

XDA Atom - don’t really like it very much, miss the real keypad, hard to text, hard to see in daylight, speaker sound is not good enough (I’m comparing to my wife’s N70), etc.
Yes, wi-fi is nice to have.
