XDAII Pdaphone

It's kind a funny how I had to buy this pdaphone.
It all started when I accidentally dropped my office mobile phone, a Nokia 3310, into the bathtub that was filled with water. 
That spoilt it and my boss lent me another phone, a Nokia 8910, which I checked cost around RM2,500!
However, this phone was borrowed from a vendor, so my boss asked me to return it after a few months use.
This was my cue to purchase a brand, new phone. So, I decided to get the most expensive pdaphone available: The O2 XDAII.
The XDAII retailed at RM3,488 and it was very difficult to get a discount; apparently O2 controlled its pricing in Malaysia.
I got my boss to help me by contacting the distributor, and I managed to bargain it down to RM3,300. TNB also gives a rebate of RM400 off mobile phone purchases, so I'm pretty happy.

The XDAII has the following basic specifications: -
Intel Xscale PXA 263, 400MHz
128 MB SDRAM, 64 MB ROM
3.5" Transflective 65,536 colour LCD (240 x 320 pixels) 
VGA Camera for still with video and audio capture
Integrated personal digital organiser and Tri-band mobile phone with GPRS support
Built-in Bluetooth and Infrared port
SDIO memory slot
My favourite software add-ons for my XDAII include: -
Pocket Informant v5.01
BatMemTime v3.37
Magic Button v1.5
TaskPlus v1.39
CorpSync v1.13
Avantgo
My last PDA was the Casio E-10. What a huge leap forward I've made.
So far, I'm very satisfied with my new toy. I'm much more organised thanks to it!
See some photos I took with my XDAII:

[UPDATE - 14/8/2004] I purchased via the Internet - a Javoedge Clearcase casing. It costs me US$33 (RM125) including shipping charges.
