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!
