Guys, I'm in need of a PDA with the following features:

1) Touchscreen/ Stylus
2) Ability to edit Office files
3) At least 2mp cam with video recording
4) FM
5) WiFi
6) 3G/EDGE

Any platform will do: WinMo/S60/UIQ/Linux etc.

Models I've shortlisted: HTC S3350, S710, SE P990i. Also considering ASUS PDAs. Dunno about their durability/after sales service. Any suggestions and experiences are welcome.

I did haf a look at this thread: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91007 But didn't wanna hijack it as it was specific to HTC.

Touch has EDGE but lacks a proper keypad. Whereas P1i has a QWERTY keyboard which is useful if one plans to type a lot of text. P1i's camera is better too.

Ok, Bangalore is damn costly.... pathetic! roamed all thru the city.. the least price of P1i is 16.8k with tax and that of htc touch is 16.2k, while that of htc p3350 is 17.6k!!!

Can't get any lower than this.. planning to go in for P1i. Anyone here can confirm 14.5k for P1i?
