What should i get?

[Guest mookie_gr]

hello,

i will really appriciate any help in this subject.

i recently had the qtek 8080(aka E200),it was my first smartphone,and it was simply great. I really liked the viriety of programs and games whitch it had,i loved the divx movies whitch it can play,and many more things whitch makes me like the smartphone.

I notice that there is also pocket pc's, whitch mostly i like is there big screen,and possibly a better proccessor,but basicly i just want it for the big screen.

So i am asking you guys(because i dont know the capabilities of pocket pc) is pocket pc's better than the smartphone?

i am not looking for size.it doesnt bother me that pocket pc is bigger.

Also i would like to know,with pocket pc's can i do ALL the stuff i was able to do with smartphones?(variety of programs,divx,etc)

thank you.

Go for the Pocket PC - the platform has been around longer than Smartphone and has a larger user community, so you will find that there will be immensely more applications and programs you can find for it.

You say that the physical size of a Pocket PC phone isn't a problem, but remember than they are not designed around a one-handed user interface like the Smartphone.

get a ppc and a smartphone, so you will know the difference.

then keep it co'z they are both good.

i prefer, c500 and imate jam. :D :D :D

It really depends upon your needs. I've had Pocket PCs for over 4 years and I just sold my latest (iPAQ 2215) and bought an Audiovox SMT-5600 Smartphone.

It does everything that I needed in a PPC... wma/mp3 playback, wmv video playback, Bible Reader, Maps, notetaking, calendar, contacts, and more. It has the added benefits of being a single device (rather than carry two)... and because they are "merged devices" I can surf using Pocket IE. The Bluetooth folding keyboard makes it very convenient for use as a PDA.

I got tired babysitting multiple devices, charging them, customizing them... and grabbing them when I walk out the door. I've been extremely pleased with the smartphone. Granted it has only been a little over 2 weeks, but I have enough experience with gadgets that the rosey-glow of a new device wears off pretty quickly. :D

i always liked smartphone but after seeing my mates spv m2000 the other day my mind is now changed if you can afford it go for the pocket pc

[Guest Confucious]

I've had PPCs and now no longer use them as I have a smartphone. PPCs tend not to be good as phones and the C500 does everything I want so I'm happy with it but the jam looks good - it depends what you want from a device.

i prefer a smartphone cuz i personally dont like touch screens as it takes longer to write a msg n send it....and to dial a number...but i do recomand it for its features such as the bigger screen...;)
