We just had a brilliant short break in Phuket!!

Toegther with three other “stressed-out” couples from Hong Kong we enjoyed the sun, the beach, the nightlife, and the excellent food that this great holiday location offers.

We stayed in “The Boathouse” which by the way I can recommend to anyone planning a trip to Phuket.

A few weeks ago I lost my Palm VX PDA. A little later I lost my Ericsson GSM phone. Obviously this had left me pretty frustrated with myself for a few days, as well as unconnected with the digital world. So I went out to purchase a new toy that would replace both the lost phone and pda.

I reviewed all available PDA phones, which included several smartphones (Motorola MPx200, O2 XDA II) and several Palm based phones (Treo 600). My hunt came down to a relatively unknown device. It is unknown because it is not branded by any of the usual big brands. Instead this little baby is manufactured by a Hong Kong company and it got the product name “Xplore G18″.

It is a really neat phone / PDA combination that finally hits it right in the number one important attribute: device size. The market wants phones with built-in PDA’s and not the reverse and this “made in Hong Kong” phone got that exactly right.

See below some pics of it.
