office docs

[tizz]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a couple of PDA's for mobile sales reps who don't like carrying laptops. GPS not essential but nice, they will generally use for email but they must be good for reading and editing office documents, any tips on which models are best for word processing or editing excel? ie, good screen and nice keyboard?

thanks

The only PDA's with keyboards built in at the moment are the PDA phones that we sell.

From the two shown above the Qtek has the larger screen. These are unlocked so you could use any sim card with them.

You could go for something that isnt a phone such as the Ipaq 2490.

I could get you a folding blueooth keyboard to use with this if necessary.

The pda's all have a touch screen so you can enter information to them easily. I have the tytn myself and the slide out keyboard is much faster for entering information.

Because these all use windows mobile 5 you get a version of pocket word, excel, powerpoint and outlook built in as standard. If you give me a call I can go over some details with you.
