Smart phone/Pocket PC – Suggestions?

by onbliss . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

Well I have an aging cell phone, and the hardware is just dying – keys don’t work anymore. I can’t search for the stored phone numbers. So what good is the phone now 🙂 So I am willing to take a giant step towards a smart phone or Pocket PC.

I like to hear some suggestions from you folks. Here are some specs and details on how I plan to use the device.

1. Carrier: Verizon wireless, do not want to change.
2. Web browsing/Email service: Not Required.
3. OS: Windows Mobile (preferred)
4. Planning to upload any free-mobile applications – dictionaries, encyclopedia, maps etc.
5. Would love to develop some .net programs – just for fun – and use them on this.

You see I don’t need Email or Web browsing capabilities. Just a glorified USB or zip drive, [b]with capability to make phone calls.[/b]

I gather many of these come with Word, Excel, Outlook. Ability to read the Office documents would be great, I plan to just sync the documents from my home PC.

I am not a busy individual; just a good developer 🙂

What are your hardware suggestions?

thanks
