Hello.
I'm looking for change for my Hermes, is too big for me. I want to buy mobile phone and pda seperate. The point is I want to connect both toghether via bluetooth and use internet on pda. I was looking for mobile but I dont know which phone has a function to share internet connection with other devices via bt (i know that the se w800 has it but I'm not big fan of se). There is plenty of possibilites that's why I'm looking for help.
This is what I want
Mobile: internet share via bt, with 3g (hsdpa or something fast), small or medium size, unusuall (neonode n2 but can be bigger) I don't care with battery life,good bulit quality
Pda: WM, big screen (something like the Touch HD and can be the same size) FAST (good cpu and lots of ram), good bulit quality, can be with bulit-in gps,
I was looking for good set for a long time but is too many possibilites and I don't want to waste money for experiments.
Thanks for help

My sister has been asking me for a while to find her first electronic organizer, but knowing her I can't give something too techy and complicated. She will barely connect it to her PC very often.
Main requirements are : calendar, notes and I suppose contacts.
Camera is a plus.
Do you know of an "easy" girly phone, that is not too geek like most of the ones we have ?
like the equivalent of the Palm Zire for instance, these ones were just doing the basics if you didn't look behind the shell.
thanks.
Does she want WM5, Palm, Symbian? Does it need to have a phone and if so does it need to be 3G?
Maybe something like HP iPaq 1950?
It is a WM5 device but it's one of the basic ones, no phone / GPS / BT (has WIFI though).
It's pretty stable so no need for "tech" stuff if you only want to use it as an organizer and it is very compact.
Plus if she wants to add some games or something later that will work too.
Don't underestimate women. My beautiful wife (yes she dose read this forum ) has had XDAI, XDAII and atom. She is not very good with understanding how computers work but still manages to work all the features of ppc's. The main question would probably be the price. Here the HP version of the atom (I can't remember name) is probably the cheapest pda phone and its got all the features.
Well, I'm not sure about your sis, but as far as I know, girls look for looks on things they use. So, probably the Zire22 are small and girlish enough for her to use. I personally used both Palm and Windows PDA. In organiser wise, I find Palm's builtin PIM is better and clearer. However, unless you get the advance version of Palm PDA (eg TX), your sis maybe having problem with the handwriting 'mechanism'.
Anyway, for Windows based PDA, I think it is very basic anyway. You just key in the required field without the need to know other things. If you are to use the PIM without much of your personal requirement, you won't need to do things like reg hack And, I find that girls can seems to tolerate things that they don't know (eg, they hardly customize a PC, though they seems to like to customize a bf). The most they want to do is to make them look pink.
Ask your sis, which PDA she likes (eg the looks and size, and colour) and it may help you in choosing. Let her have a look on the PalmZ22, as I remember, there are `converted` wives with Z22. It doesn't have a camera though.

I agree with Hanmin
the look is more important,
I will check with her first of all.
I used a Palm for years before PPC and yes.. I forgot about the letter recognition :-(
thanks for your help guys !
if u want phone capibility and camera and ability to choose the colour of the device (it comes in white, red, orange, and silver) go with the upcoming treo 680.....its palmOS based though..
i think for a very basic user windows mobile is not good. for example activesync and hotsync......
Hum, in my mind the choice will be hard
Bring her in a shop and show her the main differences about capabilites, look and ... prices...
Sometime we want a very simple things but when we discover advanced features, we want ALL ! A geek is sleeping in all of us
Have a look at the o2 Stealth.
Just wondering, any updates on this? What is the one she chosen ?
The wizard is dead - long live the wizard!
My little Wizy has left this earth in a futile and wasteful expression of dismay and discontent. (meaning the GF threw it out of the window during a disagreement).
So now that I am available again (both for a new phone and a new girlfriend) which one shell I get?
- Toshiba Portege G900
- Glofiish M800
- Tytn I
- Tytn II
- others?¿
I used my Wizard for appointments, email, browsing websites (I tried at least), recording phone calls (AudioNotes), GPS navigation (Mio), watching the odd TV episode of BGA/House and playing Worms/UFO Enemey Unknown.
I have a skype-in number and would like to start using it natively on the mobile for receiving calls (Call forwarding is costing me an arm and a leg).
For this purpose I will be migrating from Orange Pay as you go (GPRS) to Three, so I can make use of their cheaper/faster internet connection.
Opinions/suggestions?
I would say a Tytn II, its a good upgrade from a wizard. or a tytn if you feel that you still cant let the feel of a wizard go(size)
RIP...LOL...definately get the PPC (next time throw the GF out first! tytn or tytn2 (more $$) should work for U.
HTC Herald?
The Wizard was just about fast enough for Skype. The Herald with it's 200MHz isn't any better in that category, so that's a clear no.
No one for the high resolution devices? I know they cause problems for games, but web browsing got to be a blast on them.
Ah well... it will have to be a Tytn then, cheap as dirt these days (£75 @ CEX) and I can use my existing GPS with it.
Thanks guys!
I am looking to upgrade my phone with something just a bit better, but I want to make sure I am upgrading, not losing out on features. So first I need a phone that has all of the same features but more.
I use my phone in lieu of a laptop on trips, as I am often in a situation where carrying a laptop is impractical, and I need something that can be shoved into a pocket at a moments notice.
Here are the features I have currently and I want in my new phone:
1. A Great Phone
This is by far the most important thing. A phone that has loud and clear voice quality, great reception, and picks up voice well. My phone currently I can use in the middle of a loud nightclub underground and still be able to have a conversation and great reception. This rules out the iPhone already.
2. Outlook 2007 Integration (or Outlook 2007 killer software integration)
This includes push email, desktop synced email, contacts with all fields, tasks, calendar and notes. I need them all.
3. Internet friendly
I use the internet constantly on my phone, browsing all day. I use Opera Mobile software, and it works great, even with tabs! Wether it is GPRS, EDGE or 3G, I can connectification.
4. Multimedia friendly
Windows media player converts and copies all the videos and music I want automatically and provides many great options for shuffling the music on the player automagically. I also use TCPMP for divx and youtube videos and the like with no problems.
5. Bluetooth A2DP
I swear by my stereo headset. I have no used a wired one in so long. Listening to music, wathcing videos and having phone conversations is so much easier with A2DP. This rules out the iPhone again.
6. Large capacity/storage cards
Currently 8GB microsd cards are avaliable for my phone, with a theoretical limit of 32GB.
7. Instant messengers
I use MSN, QQ, Skype and others on my phone. It is nice to be connected.
8. Wifi
for those times when 3g just aint enough.
9. Hardware keyboard
I message a LOT, so I need a device that caters to this. No onscreen keyboard can match the usability of a hardware keyboard (in my and most people's opinion)
10. Pocketable
This has to fit in my pocket easily. PReferably a suit inside pocket. My current phone is about 14mm thick and about 3.5 inches diagonal... smaller than many less functional phones.
11. Chinese/Asian language input
Perhaps this is just for me, but it an essential for me to be able to communicate in Chinese.
12. All the little things
All the little things that make the user experience better
- threaded sms
- autocomplete names, emails, numbers
- predictive phrases (not only words, the phone predicts sentence patterns as well)
- calling card support (adding prefixes, dialing predetermined numbers automatically)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things I want in my NEW phone that my current phone lacks:
1. Speed
My phone slows to a crawl when I am doing too many things at the same time.
2. Bigger screen (3 inch+)
Watching videos on a 2.8 inch screen is fine, albeit too small. My eyes get tired after a while. Extra screen real estate would be better for surfiung the web as well.
3. GPS
Google maps is functional, but can only now give me a location based on my nearest cell. true GPS location finding would be a huge advantage, as I am often searching for locations.
So after all that, does anyone have any sugesstions on the perfect phone?
why not try a x7510 ?

Hmm, looks interesting, if a bit big and heavy... I am looking further into it to see how pocket friendly it can be...

Anotehr vote for the Universal. IMHO it's better than the Advantage - and MUCH cheaper!
The Universal definitely does look like a great choice, the only thing would be it's lack of GPS and perhaps it is a tad bulky to have in a jeans pocket. Otherwise, I agree, the Universal seems like a top contender. What is the successor to the Universal?
Is is possible to upgrade the Universal with WinMo 6.1 and TouchFLO?
Also, I was leaning towards the HTC Raphael (Diamond Touch Pro), but the small screen still is a bit annoying... just a half inch more and I'd be happy.

After month of problems, unable to connect my X1 to my Pioneer headunit, I finally decided to sell it.
The question is now, which phone will be my next one?
I'm between the HTC Hero, the Nokia N97 and the Samsung Omnia HD. Important for my decision is a WinMo free device. The time I had my XDA Orbit and after that the X1 I learned to hate Windows Mobile.
Things used to like on my X1:
- QWERTY Keyboard
- the Multimedia/Internet capability
What I didn't like:
- the bluetooth incompatibility to my SatNav
- the working speed
- the limited internet experience (Browsing was not as good as I expected. Opera was slow and "sticky")
The advantage of the N97 is clearly the QWERTY keyboard. But the touchscreen is worse than the ones from Samsung and HTC I think, because it's resistive not capacitive. The Omnia HD has a brilliant AMOLED capacitive display, great for watching movies or doing any other multimedia stuff. The Hero has also a good capacitive touchsceen, an open OS with lots of tools to download and a intuitive user interface.
What I want:
- an easy to use UI which can be personalized
- a smooth and fast operation (I hate continous pressing on the screen until an App opens)
- bluetooth comatibility to my Pioneer Avic X3II (should be no problem, beacause only WinMo devices don't work properly)
- downloadable apps would be nice but not necessary
- a good internet browser and a good alround internet browsing speed as less limited as possible (in comparison to "real" surfing on a PC)
- flash compatibility would be cool
- last but not least: a speedy way to type messages. A full QWERTY keyboard would be the best solution, but typing messages on a very good touchscreen is also fine. On my iPod Touch I am pretty quick
If you have any ideas/recommends/suggestions please post them.
And if you know a device that fits better to my needs feel free to name them (except iPhone because it's way too expensive here in germany)

Somehow I think I broke some of the hardware because I can't answer calls anymore, whenever I try to answer/ignore it just freezes until it goes to voicemail and then tells me I have a missed call. I've flashed a few different roms, 6.1 and 6.5 and have the same problem across all of them.
I'm thinking if I should just buy another HD but they're pretty expensive because I need the T8285 (I live in the US) and it might be fun to try a new device. I'm also thinking about a Topaz or an Xperia, or maybe a Leo but they look really big so I'm not sure how I'd like it. Or maybe something else, I'm not too familiar with non-HTC phones. The features I really need are:
- Contacts/phonebook access from home screen
- Tasks access from home screen
- Calendar to keep track of events/appointments
- Phone looks cool (lol)
- GSM
- Some type of sync software to transfer contacts (and preferably tasks/calendar) to computer (like how Windows Mobile has the Windows Mobile Device Center)
Optional features I'd like but would be willing to sacrifice if necessary are:
- 3G internet (in the US)
- Weather feature like on HTC phones
- Replaceable battery
Can anyone recommend me a good phone? I don't really care what it is or how old it is as long as it has these features and is bug-free and able to answer calls. Thanks a lot!
Take a look at the Leo HD2 if you like WM...maybe a used one for better price!
