Slowly after the first (?) (HP 6515) HTC starts doing more GPS enabled PDA Phones....
There is the Mio A700 (uglyyyy), the E-TEN G500 and the Dopod P100
Does anyone already have experiences with these?
I have been using Dopod P100 for awhile. it is perfect for what I need. Screen is a little small but it is compact and skype works great on it.
Battery life is ok.

Hello,
I'm wanting to buy my first pda phone because nokia has no interresting phones and i want to be different.
First i saw the qtec s100/mda compact/imate jam/magican and i just loved the size and the look but when i was ordering i saw that the s100 with 265mn wifi sd card is in the same price range as the qtec 9090/mdaII/mdaIIs.
Ofcourse I did some searching an came up with the following pro's and con's:
qtec 9090:
pro's: querty tobo, intergrated wifi, big screen, resonable cam.
con's: big, bad wifi coverage and not as good a screen as the s100.
qtec s100:
pro's: small, 1,3 mp cam, good screen, good wifi coverage with the sdcard
con's: no intergrated wifi, maybe to small screen.
So what would be the best choise? the qtec 9090 with the intergrated wifi, big screen and slide keyboard ore the s100 small size, better wifi coverage, and clearer crean.
I've got the qtek 2020 with wifi card.
Then an Ipaq 6340,
and a qtek9090.
It's depend on your needs.
I love the keyboard and the wifi inside the Qtek9090.
A lot of buttons are present and when you used it with one hand it is very useful.
But the qtek S100 is very small and sexy but no wifi inside and no keyboard.
i never had a querty keyboard on a phone so i don't think a pulldown keyboard ore a touchkeyboard will make a huge difference.
but i'm not for sure because i never had one. ( i did play with a pda for a couple of hours)
the lack of wifi on the s100 will not be a problem with the wifi sd card.
is there anybody here who was an qtec s100 and a 9090 who can tell me the following things:
- Is the wifi connection on a s100 with wifi card much better than on a qtec 9090?
- Is the screen of the s100 really better as the 9090 screen?
- Is the full down querty tobo a good ore a bad thing on the 9090?
- Is the screen of the s100 just as functional as the bigger 9090 screen?
- is the 1,3 mp camera on the s100 better than the vga cam on the 9090?
hi, i had a qtek 9090 and changed to a qtek s100
-i do not have the wifi card for the s100 as i use bluetooth at home and it works very well..
-the screen on the s100 is ten times better than the one on the 9090, you can look at it in every angle...
-the keyboard i never used because after using the qtek 1010 and the 2020, i was so used to using the stylus, i forgot i had the keyboard (and when working in landscape mode, the keyboard has no use)
-i have tomtom 3 running on my s100, and the screen is perfect, not too small at all.
-camera is not much better than the 9090, but i heard there will be a software-upgrade to enhance the quality..
hope this helps a bit

I already made my desistion and i just payed for the s100 with a wifi card.
I read a great review about the qtec 9090 and the s100 and it made it clear for me.
but I'm always happy when orther people support my chooise
Hi,
I currently have an XDA 2 (which i have hacked apart with WM 2003 SE etc ) and have been poffered an upgrade by O2.
They said i can chose either the XDA 2s or the 2i, my choice for the same price (£10 ).
My question is - which should i choose? Opinions would be gratefully recieved, particularly from users of either of the 2s or 2i
Thanks!
Michael
£10?? I am also with o2 uk and I just payed £100 tp upgrade. which is still a great price regardless. I chose the IIs btw and so far i'm happy. it's so much sexier audio quality is sooo much better (calls and music). at last i have a decent bluetooth driver and wifi!
I chose the IIs cos i didnt feel the IIi offered enough reason to upgrade. After all i dont use the camera so a 1megapixel didnt excite me and I dont really have any software that needs a faster processor - it runs fine on my xdaII as it is!
first thing you should do with an IIs is turn all your lights off and start using the slide out keyboard. beautiful!
i've just upgraded to the xda2i a few weeks ago , and it runs with no problems at all
the camera side is ok ,but i can't compair as i've never had any other
,the other reaason i went with the i is because i heard that the keyboard side has troubles and the i is slightly faster
I upgraded to a IIs last week from an Orange SPV M1000 and I'm really happy, the processor is fast enough and the keyboard is so useful!

I got the imate jam right now but thinking of switching over to the tornado.
i use the imate jam mostly like a phone to make calls with and sometimes im using tomtom on it. i dont really like how the imate jam works as a phone with the stylus and with the problems that come with it when using it as a pocket pc.(ie reseting and so on),and its a little big to have in the pocket.
will i miss anything when switching to the tornado? is it better as a phone? does it have better sound quality for instance?
I can asure you that the sound quality of my 8310 is outstanding. The receptition is on top too. Is a really great phone by itself with great battery life.
I have TomTom 5.20 working perfectly on it.
If you don´t need a pda, the 8310 or Imate SP5 is perfect for you. Obviously the S100 is designed for pda users with mobil phone requirements, while the 8310 is for "advanced" mobil phone users who needs a little taste of what a pda offers.
Regards.
I guess my next PDA will be one of those. Up to now I was convinced it would be the P3600i, but TyTN II show muscles too. What do you people think?
What is important for me is that the device is:
1) Solid. I remember my HTC Wizard sliding in my pocket, very annoying.
2) Small (and especially thin). I want (and I guess everybody else ) the smallest device will the most features. I haven't missed much the keyboard of my Wizard since I've switched to Prophet, but it's handy nevertheless. Can someone compare the thickness of both?
3) Fast! My XDA Neo (HTC Prophet) drives me crazy sometimes with its slow CPU.
3.1) Can you compare the CPUs of both - 400Mhz vs 500 Mhz Samsung?
3.2) Can you compare the 64MB P3600i with the 128MB Kaiser?
4) Overall impression. Anyone?
if i wanted keyboard i would get kaiser
if not i would get polaris not 3600i

Have you tried the navigation with the scrolling wheel? It's just awful No way I can prefer the wheel over the D-Pad..

I agree with Rudegar's choice. Only thing needs to be mentioned: Polaris seem to be VGA 3.5" screen so it might be to big for your expectation.
I have a HTC universal and as it is to heavy for some occasions I just last week bought a HTC Hermes .
After 2 days usage I given it to my wife. it is good as a phone but when it comes to PDA it is to small.
My opinion! HTC has really missed to produce and improve such devices like the HTC Himalaya (3.5" screen)
Damn I would love to have the Polaris with keyboard.
Hi,
Im looking for suggestions here. I am an avid Kaiser owner, and now i am looking to get the wife to upgrade from her Nokia e65 (s60v3)
The feature list that im looking for follows:
necessary:
Candybar form
3G compatible
numeric hardware keypad
Bluetooth
Wifi
important but not essential:
touchscreen
qwerty k/b
Dpad
The devices that appear to somewhat fit the (my) needs and (her) wants are:
WM6 pro
HTC Touch Dual (3G) this seems a good fit but doesnt have wifi
WM6 standard (non touch screen)
HTC Juno also good form factor but i dont know if its available in Australia
HTC Vox S710
HTC 730
Have i missed anything? What are your suggestions?
Thanks
When I read the title I've thought it was on of those joke posts about wife 1.0 upgrading to wife 2.0 and how much the upgrade costs!!!
I will let others say something about phones though as I am still holding my old beloved Universal till this date.
Cheers!
I would choose the s730 or consider also s621
It fits with your needs
the more i look at the S730 it looks bulky, and thats even whilst i own a Kaiser.
Plus i dont thinkg i can get that in Australia now.
The Touch Dual 850 looks to be the likely device.
I will have to see how my wife takes to it!
