I was soooooo DEPRESSED yesterday! I wasn’t able to avail of the Tungsten E2 palm I have set my eyes on since last week. I didn’t know until the purchase that my card was only available for installments in SM malls! The horror of it all! There was no PDA sold in SM and all shops in Glorietta would not accept my card installments. I mean c’mon, the reason I have a credit card was for installments right? *cries*
So I wasn’t able to avail of the PDA, but my mom told me not to give up hope since I haven’t checked SM Megamall, where there is tons and tons of items and I MAY find what I need there and use my card. But damn, I just can’t wait to get hold of that PDA.

I’m not to Wifi nor camera anyway, so I wouldn’t need those features.
The reason I want a PDA is so I can type everywhere in convenience. Gone were the days when a handy notebook was enough for me. I want the feel of keyboard pads. Especially at night, when everybody is asleep when an idea enters my mind and I want so much to put it on my blog but I’m just to lazy to go downstairs, open the PC, wait for it to load, connect to the net etc. I could just type my thoughts on the PDA while sitting on my bed, then connect it to my PC the next day, upload the files online and voila! My thoughts online!
So the next question that would be asked for me would be, “Why don’t you just get a Wifi compatible PDA?”
Much as the internet geek that I am, I cannot really see myself constantly on the net even when I’m outside. I wouldn’t possibly have epileptic seizures along the road if I don’t get online at that moment. @_@ No, I would leave the net at the home and at the office. ^^ And besides I don’t have enough money to pay monthly for the Wifi connection.
So that would leave me with a business friendly and cost efficient PDA, since well, I don’t have much money to buy a high-end one. *blush*
As for the cam, well the next model after Tungsten E2 is the Zire 22, with 1.2 megapixels for the camera. 1.2 megapixels? It’s almost as if I used the camera of a cellphone model. So I would rather have a digicam in the future with a much higher megapixel.
Yea, those were the reasons I want a PDA. I WANT THIS SO MUCH!
