C500 T9 question for a newbie

[Guest smason5]

Hi,

I've never used a smartphone before but am seriously considering the C500. I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone might be able to help me with :

1) When entering text in T9, are apostrophies automatically generated

from a full stop (which is what Nokias generally do) ?

Or do you have to choose the apostrophe symbol each time? Is that

a hassle or straight forward ?

eg. you enter the word that.s but it automatically generates the word

that's

2) I'm basically looking for a small colour camera phone with some PDA

functionality (specifically a good calendar and contacts list with

addresses). I've been looking at symbian phones such as the Nokia

6600 (which is rather large) and was wondering how it compares

to the C500 with it's MS windows 2003 SE in general use. Has anyone

tried both and can comment ? Pros and cons ?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Kind regards,

Stuart

Can't comment on the c500, but the SPV and SPV E200

(1) Yes, can even work out if it's a . or '

eg don't

e - do - don - don. - don't

(2) Never had a symbian so can't comment

Thanks to you both for your replies.

I'm really glad the C500 does the punctuation trick as I was hoping.
