Is the Mini Better suited for Women?

[Calvin337]

My girlfriend is looking for a PocketPC, in terms of ergonomics, would you say this model is better for women?

[frax]

I don't think it is that simple, that certain devices are better for women or men. If you have small hands, it would be good.

But is your gf a geek? My wife is for sure not, and she is very happy with her dead tree calendar/addressbook and her simple Ericsson T65 phone (and she didn't want to inherit my old Cassipeia PDA).

hehe, don't think also,
but i think an magician is a good choice for a woman/girl/...
(becouse it's small and everything ;) )

Woman and computers , if you ask me, that doesn't match very well :)

I thought females preferred LARGER packages! :lol: :P :lol:

SOME of the women dont like messing with complicated shit all they want is to make calls and recieve and calendar etc. any phone will do. But if your woman is ready to mess with files and registry keys and not get irritated about hard-resets. If she's an avid PDA User then JAM is the way to go. But i have never seen a girl/lady carry one.

Hehe, if i see a girl holding a Mini and it's all supped up with accessories, that'll be good :)
At least that's a girl who'd understand why i spend so much money on gadgets and am always broke....haha...

Don't you hate it when your GF's always complaining why you spend so much money on "toys" and not on her? haha

[Emmsna]

I'm a girl and I have an o2 XDA mini :P

I agree that it doesn't matter whether you're male or female - if you're into computer toys you'll love a mini!

I Love My Mini

I saw a women using a magician in a popular TV sitcom (US). I remember saying outload to everyone in the room, " Look ..Look, OMG that women is using a phone just like mine." Then they just looked at me like soo. :oops: I guess they didn't understand my enthusiasm :lol:

[Calvin337]

Thanks for all the replies.
My original posts focused on ergonomics, but someone says it best:
"If you lke sophiticated toys (something like that) you'll like the Mini."

It is a great gear, ain't it? Too bad with all the things you can do, the original battery can't quite taking it to "be all it can be"...

My wife has accidentally dropped my MDA on the floor as soon as she has held it in the hands for the first time. :evil: My MDA has scratched now. I think this device will be killed soon if she'll be its owner.

I have to agree with georgexoasi. PDA/smartphone combos have so far been for techies who don't mind updating the ROM (or more likely wait for the next update, even if ther's nothing to fix).

The only stable smartphone platform I know of is Series 60 Symbian.
My P900 showed promise but dried up with a crap one handed interface and very little 'cool' software.
The iMate Jam has been the best one so far, but it still requires a weekly reboot and it still has sound quality issues etc.

If she want a smart looking phone get a razr, if she want's a gadget get the Jam!

A weekly reboot? Can you please elaborate?

[bnycastro]

he's probably talking about a soft-reset wherein your device reboots and cleans up a bit, releases ram etc etc. I do it everyday or when my device seems to be slowing down. takes only a few seconds, natural for ppcs.

Sorry to bump a 1 month old post, but I just gotta say that both my sister and my fiancee are looking at getting Jams of their own.
All it took for my sister was seeing "Who wants to be a Millionaire" and "Virtual Pool".
And my fiancee just loves all the skinning, themes, and Solitaire!
Plus they both wanted to get iPod minis until I showed them pPod with my 1gig card!!

Between the 2 of them I barely get to play with it!!

[karina mia]

I use a Mini as a personal phone and an XDA2s for business. Both were issued by my office but between the two I prefer the Mini. It's smaller and easier to carry around, even fits in my weekend bag.

My girlfriend loves her mini, mind you shes got a techie to do all the updates, etc and to whinge at when it doesnt work.

at least not meAt least the JAM has better MMI, Motorola MMI is notorious, even if the unit comes in pink!!!

[thacrim]

My girlfriend has an m500. And it is always more ergonomic than and a phone and a ppc/pda. If got one myself and its just as big as my old nokia 6600 phone. I used to take an my phone and my ipaq with me and that took a lot of space to cary around :D
