lovatt Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 its time for me to have another phone, i can have any phone i like on my contact but nothing seems to take my fancy i liked the samsung D500 i have and to be honest im thinking of sticking with it, seems a shame when i can upgrade though, i was looking for a new small phone that is a new design, it must be strong though as i break about 3 per year due to the dust in my job and the odd splash of water any phone boffins out there know of any nice new handsets coming out very soon or can recomend a good one ?

terribleturner Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Im in the same boat liam. I love my GX30, but feel i should really use the upgrade. Think im gonna go for one of these PDA phones that i can use the net on and download some navigation program onto aswell for when im in the car.

lovatt Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 i like the sound of sat nav on my phone, what handsets have that as an option ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Who are you with Liam?? I think today after going round all the shops im going to go with this one. They make it for O2 and T-Mobile too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 As you know James i have the 02 XDAII, does everything i need as far as a phone/PDA goes and is just clear and concise enough to run tomtom on and give me the satnav flexibility. Orange & T-mobile have released exactly the same units in their range. However, as phones go, they are very very basic. Dont expect all the bells n whistles of a proper mobile. in between you have the smartphones as it were, like the SE P910i will do most basic PDA functions and run satnav and have a better phone feature. Just my 2p worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 i like the sound of sat nav on my phone, what handsets have that as an option ? the SatNav software i was referring to was TomTom mobile, so any phones that they support i guess, which definitely includes any of the Windows Mobile phones, e.g. Orange C500, SPV, E100, E200, E550, M500 (not out yet but currently available on T-Mobile as an MDA Compact or something) and then you're moving on to the pocket PC phone edition phones, such as the M2000 mentioned & the XDA2 etc http://www.coolsmartphone.com have some good reviews on some of the smartphones and the ones that are due out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Slight hijack: Does anyone know whether you can put the new Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 onto an older pocket PC, or does the phone / PDA have to have hardware built in? i.e. is it a next-generation new phone thing only? I'd really like WM5 on my PDA because it (apparently) has true one-handed operation, which is the main thing IMHO that lets WM2003SE down. Any idea if you can buy it separately?

Todd Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 i-mate Jam user here (AFAIK the smallest PDA / phone on the market). I love it more than is natural. Snap, used to have the smartphones and also carry a pda about but had the jam for a couple of months now and love it, 1gb card with movies and mp3s, full tomtom navigator on it and raring to go. Bonus is it also makes phone calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 i like the sound of sat nav on my phone, what handsets have that as an option ? mate I've just bought a TomTom GO and I honestly think it's the best thing in the world. Certainly better than TomTom on a PocketPC I think anyway. Perfectly sized and good speaker and inbuilt GPS and what not. With a Smartphone or PocketPC you'd need a bluetooth GPS unit and I don't reckon the screen would be as good. You would have to have the unit sideways for it to be any good and that would just be wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
