Not really sure what category this question comes under so I''ll just post it here since it is using MT4 Mobile software
. For a few months I have been conteplating buying a smartphone from T-Mobile or a PDA (Ipaq, Palm, etc..) to do trading using Metatrader4 Mobile on it. I just want to know if anyone else is currently using a smartphone and how it looks on the display and its ease of use. There are lots of times when I want to check the market but I am not at work/home and it would be nice to be able to look at my charts whenver I choose to see if a trade setup has occurred.
The smartphone from T-mobile (Wing, Dash, etc) is nice but the display is not as large as a palm and you have to pay an extra $30 a month for a data plan but you can also use it at any location where there's a wireless router or hotspot.
A PDA has a larger display and will work through any wireless router but you must have a bluetooth phone in order to use it if another 802.11 network is not available (like on the golfcourse, hunting, bars, etc...)
. It would be much nicer to store my outlook email, contacts, schedules, etc..
I'm leaning towards an HP Ipaq PDA since I'm usually near a network 80% of the time and when I'm not I can usually find an unsecured router to connect to. It would also be nice when I'm working around the house to not have to go up to my office just to glance at a chart. If I know I'm travelling than I can activate a data plan on my wireless provider just for the time that I need and use the PDA through bluetooth which is a nice option.
I guess I'm just want to know what other people's experiences are if any?
Thanks,
