i-mate PDA2k
I have been feeling the need of a business PDA for the last couple months, but couldn’t find one that would balance both my desire of functionality and the budget constraint. I wanted to keep my schedule handy, arrange my daily tasks properly, listen to music on the go, browse internet and read emails, use standard phone functionalities and take occasional photos – a lot to ask from a PDA. With all these features combined, the available PDAs in the market was hitting 50K BDT in price – something way over my budget. So, I was a bit disappointed.
Then a few weeks back, one of my junior friends Abir, knocked me in IM and asked whether I am interested in buying a PDA that has not been used much and in great condition. He mentioned that it has camera, phone, and PDA functions – so I didn’t hesitate much and asked for the model he had – it was i-mate™ PDA2k. After a quick review over the internet, i realized that its the perfect combination I was looking for! I asked for the price and for a surprising 20K BDT, i got that beautiful piece in my hand today! 
For the technology lovers, here goes the spec from the manufacturer:
- Platform - Windows Mobile™ Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition Software (GSM/GPRS).
- Display - 3.5”, Transflective TFT-LCD 240 x 320 pixels, 64K Color

- Camera -Color CMOS VGA (640×480) camera/ flash light

I have high hope that it will be serving me with the functions i desire most !

Well,
You could get a brand new HTC. Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003 edition is too old. Now we have Windows mobile 6.1
