Hi, I have admitted defeat in my attemts at purchasing a replacement smartphone for now, and am instead considering the iPaq rz1715 PDA to run Pleco 2.0. It seems to have received a tough time in all the reviews I have read, but as the only thing I want it for is Pleco 2, I am willing to shell out the rmb 320 being asked on taobao if it can do this much.

My main concern revolves around the memory - it has just 32 MB onboard RAM and, although it has an SD card slot, I'm wondering if the age of the device will limit the size of SD card that can be used. Also, it is Windows 2003SE - I'm guessing this does not impact on Pleco 2.0's functionality

Any advice (or a simple yay/ney) apreciated.

I'd steer clear of that one, probably - the 32 MB of memory is a real hassle, there were only a couple of other iPAQs shipped with that little. (see the Wikipedia page on iPAQs for a comparison chart - almost all of them had 64 MB or more) And we haven't done much testing running with that little memory available, so there's a significant chance of crashes or other weird behavior. 319 RMB isn't that great a price, either - you can get a better used iPAQ for not much more than that on Amazon / eBay / etc (and many of them will gladly ship to China).
