PDAs

Postby biglou » Sun Jan 11, 2009 10:16 pm

I must admit that there are certain electronic gizmos I am good with and ones that I am not. I am looking at investing in a PDA to help keep up with requirements and tracking. This will make my life and hopefully the Troop Advancement Chairman's (provided that she takes the job). I am looking at using the Troopmaster software. Does anybody have one they recommend that would be easy to use for a new PDA user?

Look at all the feature you would want and then narrow your list. First and foremost I wanted cell phone capability. Then I wanted easy sync with my Outlook info (although the push email feature was a pain, so I turned it off)

I use the HTC Tilt (Cell Phone and PDA from ATT). The sync feature and lower cost bundled with the cell phone sold me.

I have a TREO 700 with email sync and internet capability.
However, my company pays for mine (I think the phone was $500 and the monthly charge runs around $90).
