Hi frenz, i'm using nokia n70 now, i'm able to do all my daily chores with this thing, but i can't view my pdf flies here, adobe reader software is there, but it takes hell of a time to scroll and also can't do much about this small screen.. Can you guys pls suggest me a good pda/phone that serve my purpose? I prefer symbian os rather than windows.. Pls gimme pros and cons of nokia e62 and sony p990i. Also please refer other models which you feel is better than the above.. Thanks in advance for you guys..

Imo get a 2nd hand 9300/7710 if u dont wanna spend much.. Or get an e62/e61i.. U can also consider wm based touchscreen fones..

But e62 can view pdf files smoothly? I mean while scrolling in my n70, it takes hell of a time..

Windows mobile has plenty of advantages for reading pdf:

You can install Adobe Reader and read pdf with 'wrapped text' with even zooming and Autoscrolling with Fullscreen ! Jus Amazing!

If you are memory conscious,you can even try 'lighter' Foxit Reader !

You can use PDF+ software in your N70. Its much faster than the crappy Adobe Reader. Or you can buy E62. But it'll also have the Adobe Reader. So I'll suggest you install PDF+ in your E62 too if you get it.

Can all windows based pdas can run pdf files smoothly? I'm planning to get a second hand one, like pocket pc. . . Can it process the documents smoothly?

yup... pretty much... it takes half a second or a second to process picture intensive pdfs... and its pretty clear and readable too..

Get the kindle by Amazon. It is an e-book reader and basically the best e-book reading experience you will ever have.
