Currently got an MDA Compact on T-Mobile UK (ie: Magician) and my contracts up at the end of the month. Anyhow i've got the option to upgrade my handset, which is the better model to go for:
T-Mobile Vario (HTC Wizard)
or
T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal)
What benefits or extra features do either of these models have over the magician?
keyboards
and the universal have 3g
Anyone know if/when O2 or Orange will have this. I can't get good TMobile reception so their AMEO won't fly?
On yet another visit to Australia I thought I hade cracked it ,with cdma being switched off at the end of January and all my friends having nextg phones on 850mhz I thought my o2 orbit or the mini s (both 850mhz) would work but no luck They did roam in the city but not in the remote parts
if I put my uk o2 sim in one of their nextg phones my number did work at the remote locations
So has any one got any ideas what I need to do to get a fully roaming phone
thanks

Hey everyone, as I am thinking about getting a Shift, I want to get a secondary phone to go alongside it.
I was thinking about a Nokia N95 as they are dead cheap and a decent phone, but I would really like a cheap WinMo device so i can use TomTom on it. Obviously a HTC device would be the best.
The only thing I require is that it has a full QWERTY keyboard and an inbuilt GPS unit. It needs to be second hand and below £100 (£40-£80) so im looking at ebay.
Any help would be appreciated with names etc!
CONCLUSION: Looks like the only phone matching my spec for below £100 is the HTC Kaiser
List so far: (updated 6-10-9 17:37)
QWERTY+built in GPS

aka HTC P4550 / HTC TyTN II / Orange & HTC TyTN II / Vodafone VPA Compact V / Vodafone v1615 / SFR v1615 / Swisscom XPA v1615 / T-Mobile MDA Vario III / AT&T Tilt / O2 Xda Stellar / EMobile Emonster S11HT
£60-£100+
QWERTY no GPS
HTC Hermes
aka HTC P4500 / HTC Z / HTC TyTN / Rogers & HTC TyTN / Qtek 9600 / Dopod 838 Pro / Dopod CHT9000 / i-mate JASJAM / O2 Xda Trion / T-Mobile MDA Vario II / Vodafone VPA Compact III / Vodafone v1605 / SFR v1605 / Orange SPV M3100 / AT&T 8525 / Cingular 8525 / Swisscom XPA v1605 / SoftBank X01HT

What do you mean by cheap? A lot of people look at the sticker price (which is irrelevant) and go off of that. But if you're also getting a contract, then that's where all the money goes. So, are you getting a contract? If so, I would just ignore the phone price ($100, $200, $300) and be more concerned with the contract requirements. If you're getting a non-contract phone, maybe look around for a used touch pro/fuze. They were ~$500 new a year ago, so I'd imagine you could get a used one for half that or less.
I am talking about a second hand ebay job. I am searching on ebay now, there are so amny HTC phones out there with so many different names! I need to know which ones have QWERTY keyboard and GPS.
This list may be of help:

Hey All
I'm on Telstra in Australia - a network which needs 850mhz 3G. I am REALLY interested in buying the sensation, and from what it looks, the Vodafone UK model supports UMTS 850?
I've got very close relatives who live in the UK, so I can get them to buy it for me. Can someone possibly tell me:
- Does the Vodafone UK one definitely support 850mhz 3G?
- Does it come network unlocked?
- Is there any way to buy it outright without a plan? (eg. PAYG or something)
I can get it shipped to my relatives in the UK or they might even go buy me one in the store. But for now, it looks like the VodaUK one is the only 850mhz capable one.
Thanks
