Brighthand's New PDA & Smartphone Advisor

[Mike Temporale]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.brighthand.com/article/advisor' target='_blank'>http://www.brighthand.com/article/advisor</a><br /><br /></div>Brighthand has launched a new tool aimed at helping people select the PDA or Smartphone that's best for them. You answer a number of questions about usage, functionality, features, price point and more. Then click the recommendations link and it will show you the top 5 recommended devices. <br /><br />It looks like a nice service. Although this is a nice tool, I hope people don't blindly purchase the top result. Making a PDA or Smartphone purchase is not something that should be done without doing your homework to ensure everything you are looking for is taken into consideration. With that being said, the top result for me was the MPx200. :D

Well, I tried it. Picked most Palm OS devices and Windows Mobile Devices, plus the Blackberry. I still despise Sony so unchecked that and then ranked it "very undesirable" and it still gave me a Clie as my #3 choice. :?

Seemed a bit slow but I suspect it is getting hit on a lot right now. It was also taller than my puny 1024X768 laptop screen could handle. I have no idea what that device was below the Toshiba in the OEM ranking.

Not all that great IMO. I wouldnt go by the results. There's alot more factors that should go into that decision.
