Need a bit of help picking out a cell phone or PDA

[CS-Source-ChallengeME!]

hey. umm I`m picking out a cell phone for my brother and basically what he wants is a PDA type phone that has the ability to use microsoft word on. he wants to work while hes on the bus.

Must be within 300-350 if lower then better
must have actual buttons..
must be able to use microsoft word
cheaper the better.. he doesn`t really care much for style

thanks for the help!

HTC TYTN would be your best bet. I think it's one of the most reliable WM PDA phones with the sliding keyboard. I sold mine before for 350, so it should be cheaper by now.

Palm line-up seem to fit your bill, even the Treos/Centro that use Palm OS come with "Documents to Go" which works well with Office software. The Palm Centro is $299 at the Palm Store Canada (online, you can just google), it may be another product to compare with the one mentioned above.
