I would recommend HTC HD
But first check here so you can make your own slection based on what you really need form a PDA:

Cheers,

Assuming money isnt a problem.
You need to know what you wanna do with the PDA.
1. Do you need GPS?
2. Do you play games?
3. Fast internet?
4. Do alot of typing?
5. Powerful Processor?
6. music and/or video?
7. Advance configuration like changing roms, cooking and major software tweaking?
If all the above is yes. Raphael is the overall best.
Touch HD got no D-pad so gaming is a little tedious. It also does not have a keyboard but has a superbly large screen.
Processor need not be powerful and need not type alot? got for Asus. P750 if u have the budget P320 if not.
Are you intending to learn to cook roms and develop software. Try HTC G1 android.
They're all my opinions only. As Orb3000 wrote "But first check here so you can make your own slection based on what you really need form a PDA:

thank you guys! artemis is HTC p3300?? how about samsung omnia i900? is it good? i like the design and the specs ... i like the HTC HD but the price is so high ... 700 euros ... that's a lot of money that i will never spend on a PDA phone! I had the LG KS20 in may this year and i was very, very disappointed!

So far there has only been one good response to your question (Serphinox). You need to identify what YOU want the phone to do and be specific. All you will get is blatent favourtism with the way your question is worded.
Blatent favourtism...... (and my honest, very experienced opinion)
I have owned serveral HTC phones and regreted each one eventually. I now have an Omnia with the HJ5 firmware (a must!) and its absolutley awesome. It kicks some serious HTC booty. I've had a Blue Angel, TyTN, TyTN 2 and currently still own a Touch Diamond (Of all my HTC phones, I've had at least 2 of each due to hardware failures/poor manufacturing). Which phone do I use everyday? The Omnia.... no contest. The Omnia does have a lower res screen than HTC devices but actually, this is well thought out. It allows for a longer battery life, its VERY fast at updating (even my TD with Swiftblade 7.5 don't stand a chance) and .... because its low res, its VERY finger friendly like the Iphone. Put simply, it works. I now have zero issues with it, something I have NEVER been able to say about ANY HTC phone i've used. It simply does its job, everytime, 100% of the time with no fuss. Note though: Because of the screen res, don't buy it if you want to play games as they are generaly written in the standard screen formats of which this is not. Btw, dont use Samsung Widgets, they are for Joe Punter, you want Samsung Today 2... its the daddy!
Oh, who else has 32gig storage in there phone? Currently I have some 2500+ songs and iGO8 with all the world maps ..... and still loads of storage free
You know, i've also owned a Tosh G900 which was FAR from "tosh" and again an excellent phone. I only wish more people realised there was more to life than HTC.

edited my signature .. thank you for the great answer ! gonna get the omnia ... maybe dont know 4 sure but i believe it's a great deal. you say that the ress of the omnia screen is different from the other phones and i will not be able to play games ... now that's not GOOD
now i own a nokia e71 and i can change the ress of games and than install them into to my phone and they work ... is there a way that i could change the ress for the games that work on wm 6 devices??

its not that you WONT be able to play games, its just that you need games that are coded to work with odd screen sizes - and this can be limiting. I think its fair to say that most games written now are for 480*640 (640*480) and this is not the Omnias screen size. That said, the Omnia does seem to be selling very well so I would hope more developers start creating there apps to scale mathmaticaly rather than fixed for a specific size.
Should you wish to use SPB Shell, you are also limited to the amount of custom skins available however, this will grow .... you could even create your own!
As for your games, I would think you will be ok. They should be on your PC in your activesync program. Once you create a new sync between the pc and your new device, you can then go into activesync's add programs section and select to install. Of course, if you have the individual .CAB files (which are also actually on your pc as well) then you can just drag these on to your new device and install.
edit: I cannot stress enough though, you need to update to the HJ5 rom if you buy it. Details can be found at i900.modaco.com.

I vote for the Touch Pro.

In my opinion HTC devices I own or owned (Universal, Tytn and Touch) are great devices, never had problems with them, so that makes me stick to HTC because their experience manufacturing WM powered devices, also the great support and the main reason because of this wonderfull site!!.
If you decide for the Omnia you will not have the support form this site has for HTC devices (I´m sure exist another sites for Omnia)
So once again I´ll recommend an HTC device absolutly
Just my personal opinion
Good luck on your decision!

Yes you do, search and see! Windows Mobile is Windows Mobile You can also get cooked roms also from various sites.
However, OP, you have not really said what your requirements are and you need to. Be specific and people can really recommend properly rather than our phones

hhmm ... this would be the important specs: big screen (minimum 2.8 inch), gps, bluetooth, wireless, 128 ram, 256 rom, 400 mhz procesor, 3.2 mp camera with autofocus, qwerty keypad !

Whats got two cylinders, does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and holds the production record for top speed in its class?
OFFTOPIC! Monty is this your bike ???

as long as you upgrade to latest firmware (see i900.modaco.com) you won't regret it. I would recommend though you try and see if you can get an Omnia-T. As mentioned, same phone but has DVB-T and 800*480 screen - although this will decrease battery life a little.
Anyway, enjoy!

THE BEST PDA IN 2008 (in your opinion)

i think its Xperia X1

Welcome to the forum!
My vote goes for HD

I agree with orb that it's HD for 2008!
bty, there are already many threads on this "best" subject...

all i see anywahere is alk about the HTC touch. never used one but i guess it has to be a great phone

I think it should be the HTC Touch Diamond, because it's internet memory of 4gb

why X1?
Fuze/raphael/HD does everything X1 does, minus the $1000 price tag and pkus better performance.
Fuze and G1 get my vote

......sneaks in....
iPhone?
.....runs VERY fast and very far away......

LMAO.... if it was "best overrated toy of 2008"
if best pda means best specs, features, and style... touch pro all the way
but i vote for the Titan for the sole reason that its over a year old and has gone through it all and still up to date with current models. from locked to unlocked gps, crappy internet speeds to evdo rev-a upgrade, wm6.0 to wm6.1, from standard wm today to htc home to manila2d etc. etc.
unlike the iphone who needed to release a 2nd gen model just to get 3g speeds

TOUCH PRO! ...with an extended battery.

Hmmm, you should have added a vote with the most common devices listed!
However, 'BEST PDA' is really a personal opinion - it all depends what you use it for! There are certain criterias, so, if you ask me about the keyboard, I most likely would say: Tytn II. If you ask me about the performance and features, I would say: OMnia. If you ask me about the design, well, I can't help it: X1!!!

Samsung i780...

A701 rules
I'm still using the A701 and I think it's a good allround device.

By that criteria it should be the Nokia N97 since it has 32 GB of ROM.

The X1 has more RAM than any of the phones you listed and a higher resolution screen than all but the HD.

..and xperia looks way better than others, also got keybord and xpanels which are more useful than touchflo3d also better battery, and camera(pictures are looking better on screen on x1 than on others, only hd got more MPX) and LED

Touch Diamond.
Small and sexy with sharp display, only negative about the device is the poor battery.

thats why there is an comm-menager to switch on/off the data and wifi and bluetooth on this device?
and thats why u get an charger in your box with it

AND THE WINNER IS......
SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X1 [SEX1] !!!
(IMHO)
Why ?? Well, matter of choices really, I won't argue; just speak out my oppinions:
Sony has done a cool blend of high tech and art here. A real "convergence device". HTC is GREAT, but HTC+SONY=SYNERGY !!!
I've had the tytn, diamond, blackstone... none of them gathered what Sony put in here:
1- beutiful WVGA screen
2- handsome and sexy metal case
3- cool LEDs
4- "bunny-forever" big battery
5- biggest RAM in the market
6- hardware keyboard
7- Sony's "panels" interface with the neat Sony media panel
8- etc etc etc

LOL, I just don't see that this thread is going anywhere ... evry1 has a different opinion anyway, so, what is the point ???

Agree
Perhaps if all can vote here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362 (Only devices made by HTC and supported on this site)
We could get concrete results

I seen this topic before but i made this one because some people may put here pda's like Asus or something... i didnt meant only HTC devices and only made in 2008

Help me!! Purchasing a new cellphone

Hi everyone
I'm about purchasing a new cellphone but I can not make a decision .
So Which one do you choose as a better phone in all aspects?
HD2 or Desire or SE Xperia X10

First and most important decision is Windows Mobile or Android or doesn't matter ? Are you going to have to work with it or just pleasure ?

I wanna work with it for pleasure, infact Winmo has this advantage to be modified whenever I want and that's really good about winmo but in the other hand X10 or desire sport better screens especially x10 has 8 mp camera and these are my reasons to not to make decision.
My expectations:
1.being fast
2.satisfactory screen for watching movies
3.good camera
4.interesting programs and changeable interface

Stevane,
out of all phones you've mentioned, 5700 SPica is the best choice, simply 'coz it have 3.2" 480x320 screen and fastest CPU/GPu (SoC)
Yeah it's short on memory, but hey at least it has capacitive screen!
Gratia is better phone in any respect, but I don't know where in Bosnia you could buy it, and more importantly if you could how much are you ready to pay for it!?!

hTC mate....Go in for the Wildfire for now...Look no furthur...Samsung Galaxy 3 isn't much of a good device.A friend of mine has that phone...

Wildfire's QVGA sceen and Qualcom's MSM7225 SoC are major letdowns!
In all respects, except memory size, i5700 spica is better phone!
I agree that Galaxy3 or 5, or any other except Spica and i9000S should be avoided!
Again, if there's a chance to obtain Gratia, that would be best solution, but somehow I doubt that's pssible in Bosnia now!

Htc Gratia is not now availible in Bosnia,but i can wait to see a price.
Htc Wildfire and i5700 are about 225 euros. if grati will be about 260 i will bought them
And now i dont know what to do if i cant bought gratia. you say i5700 bu other say wildfire !??

And i just love that phone (though my brother doesn't let me touch it)
and it has got decent cpu and good amount of ram even if screen resolution is low... I would still go for it..
A great phone to purchase

Now i am looking for Sony Ericsson X8. With Android 2.1 i think that x8 is better than wildfire and spica

Not at all...If you drop a Sony Ericsson, you break your heart. I have had a bad experience with sony ericsson devices where the USB connector gets un-usable, the screen cracks even when the device is in your not so tight jean pocket...Just look for the shortcomings before you go for sony ericsson...It will waste your money in repairing.Instead, save some more money and buy a better device...Thats from my side...Rest is upto you to decide.

how about a motorola defy......

If I were you I would wait for the Nexus S. That will give you great GPU and it will be usable world wide.
