You're going to want the XV-6800 from verizon. Known as the HTC Titan. Sprint calls it the Mogul. It what I have and it does everything you're lookin for and more.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

unless a hardware keyboard is a nessecity I would highly recomend the htc vogue. its got everything the titan has plus more memory. just no hard keyboard

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

I would suggest the Treo 700WX, however, it doesnt have GPS. It has more memory than the VX6800, but less than the VX6900 (aka the vogue). It has an open faced hardware kb. For storage of music or other stuff, there is a slot for a full size SD card. I've had mine for over a year w/ no complaints (on VZW)

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

The GPS Is an absoluteley must! Also want stylus that can scribble down notes.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

I would go with the 6800 as well, really a nice device

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

R u sure it has GPS? Cos I just went on Amazon.com for this product and I searched for words GPS and it didn't find these letters! You'd think
that GPS is a prominent feature that would be placed on the front page if it had sucha capability ^ ^

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

Yes R-tard it does have GPS.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

Can you show me a product link in some online store or something that clearly sez it has GPS?

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

The verizon xv6800 does have gps, I own two of them & use the gps daily.......

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

So you have to screw arround with it and install 3d party software to get the GPS to work?
Are there any out of the box solutions ?
Also I was wondering if any cool PDA's getting released soon that have stylus + GPS + music?

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

Apparently you're having a difficult time reading. Verizon branded GPS apps work fine. Any non-Verizon branded GPS apps require 3rd party workarounds. I'll refer back to the Wikipedia document:

However, this release blocks A-GPS access to all but applications which have been digitally signed by Verizon Wireless. Currently this is only VZ Navigator. Verizon has said that they will digitally sign other applications[2], and hackers have released a software patch which bypasses the limitation[3

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

what about blackberries do those have styles and GPS enable?

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

The only one I'm aware of is the Blackberry Storm, but you won't find much info on that here since it is a PPC site.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

I told you, that keyboard isn't listed amongst my requirements,
I don't really need physical keyboard
so all I need is GPS, Stylus, and music capacity, so if HTC Vogue support it should be all set.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

yes if you don't want the keyboard, then a vouge is for you. Known as the 6900 on the vzw.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

If I purchase Vogue from Verizon and then gonna screw arround with it
and try to install the GPS software, and it doesn't work or be really crappy,
can I return it to Verizon?

Btw where do you go to install the software?

And how is the GPS software experience compared to TomTom?
Also I'm wondering when I purchase Vogue do I have to mandatory sign up for some data plan?
Cos I don't need to go on the internet from it, all I need is GPS, stylus and music and phone obviously.

Also I wonder Does the Vogue allow me to scribble notes into it and then save it for later,
and then I can read my own notes, so it's like digi - notepad?
Can you install 3d party on Vogue?
Can you do the remote PC from it (like if I want to play Crysis thru my desktop on Vogue)
and if it's going to cost me some additional charges?

Also if you compare Vogue and iphone which 1 is better?

I don't want iphone cos it doesn't support Verizon
and also cos you can't scribble notes in it (there's not much notetaking you can do with finger lol)
also cos it's only mac software and you can't get 3d party.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

What you need to do is go the the Vogue forum and read, read, read. You will find all of the information you need there. I understand you're a consumer trying to make an educated purchase, but repeatedly asking the same questions isn't going to get you as far as digging in and searching for the info you desire. As far as returning phones, most providers give you a 30 day window where you can swap to a different device. Happy searching/reading.

Re: Recommend me a PDA!
 

Yes, verizon will take a phone back & no, a data plan is not mandatory.

I went for a few months using a 6800 without a data plan & just connecting to wifi hotspots. Of course that is not an option with the 6900 as it does not have wifi.
