It happened that I am always getting hand-me-down pdas from hubby, except of course my 1st ever e-book which I won from the Pertandingan Membina Rancangan Mengajar together with Cikgu Karim fr SMK Kg Jawa.
Since then, hubby, everytime he wanted to change to a new pda, would hand down his old one, and then buys a new one for himself. Since I am not really pda savvy, I am normally just happy enough to accept whatever is given to me..especially appreciate the fact that I can do my writing, wherever I am and then to synch into my computer.
At first it didn't bother me much that after using the 2nd hand pda after some time, it starts giving me minor but irritating problems. And what is more, before it got too irritating, hubby was ready to get another new one... another, more recent hand-me-down for me. And I was happy again.
But I realise that once the problem starts, I cant enjoy the gadget anymore. And i get rather put off to even try to rectify the problem. It is like I simply give up because it is just a hand-me-down and so I can't really pinpoint when the damage originally started.
So when my present palm treo 650 started giving me problems bit by bit, I got really put off...especially when it started to switch off on its own. I thought deep and hard, and told hubby I want a new pda of my own - first hand this time!
Hubby then briefed me about the latest palm one pda - the palm centro. I was open minded, lets go and check it out. So off we went to Megamall IT World. The palm centro cost RM1300 - okay, affordable. Hubby had agreed to top up the price difference after rm1000. I was thinking 300 he could afford. But then suddenly, out of the blues, hubby suggested the samsung i780 pda. It costs a bit more than 1300.
One look at the slim, slick blak pda I was hooked to the looks. Yet I had to trust hubby about its functionality and so on and so forth. I was told of its multi functionality...3G, wi-fi, GPS - all terms I hear often enough, but have no idea what they are about. And what encouraged me more was the boys eager response to my choosing this pda. So the original plan to get a palm centro was changed to owning a black samsung.
So the pda is being charged now ..need to go for another 2 hours. And afer that I still cant use it..till big son Ashraf teaches me how to.
So, till then, I will try and keep the progress of my new pda updated...
Seeing that I am still awake, I might as well wait for the finals UEFA cup - Germany versus Spain....go Spain...

Salam. It's really an overwhelming pleasure to own a new toy. I myself have long to own a new gadget, be it a palm pda, a camera lense or what ever it may be... but i am still stuck with my old, one and only nokia basic kinda handphone which even primary school kids own them. But i am blessed enough with it's durability that when ever my babies plunge it to the walls, enuf to break it down into pieces, nothing happens but it still works it's functions to it's best! Waaay go nokia!
p/s: I am still craving for a 3G iPhone tho- *wink.
