I tried those links before bringing this thread back to life. The problem is there are good PDAs but most of them dont have 3G like the HTC s710 or ASUS P525 or even the newly launched ASUS P320!

a 10k+ phone must have 3g!@?

HTC P3300....no keypad but a good phone.
O2 Atom....again no keypad.
P1i...as others have suggested. but i dont put symbian in the same category as windows mobile.

a complete PDA along with a keypad is difficult to find in 20K. i was myself looking for it but these cost 25K++.

Well you cant have it all in one phone.If its a business phone you looking at you could buy the nokia E71 and if its a multimedia phone you could buy the n82

PDA ?? go for G900

OR buy N82-PDA + (many other features)

N82 is the best in that range no one can beat it

If the guy needs Symbian S60 + great 5mp camera, then N82

If the guy needs Symbian UIQ and touchscreen + 5mp camera, then G900 or if he wants to have a full QWERTY keypad & touchscreen, then P1i will also be good

which ones are u referring to?
I think he could be a lil more flexible with the budget

The Sony Ericsson P1 also comes with the Quickoffice application, which would allow it to open and even edit MS Word, MS Excel and MS Powerpoint documents. The PDF+ application allows reading of PDF files. However, it renders files rather too slowly - not anything like the Acrobat Reader LE we saw in Nokia E61i.
Is E61i better than P1i?

@All
Sorry guys but a QWERTY Keypad is a must

is Palm Treo available here?
