Wow, this is tricky. I really like the looks of the c550, but its not going to have WM5 ;) So do I wait for the i300 (or another WM5 Smartphone), or get it :?: My contract expires in September. What are you guys going to do.

I think we're all in the same boat mate. Im gonna wait untill its released and see what people make of it. I really want the i300 tho so I may wait untill thats released. But I havent had any replies to my emails to Samsung regarding the release date

Microsoft did show the i300 off at a conference so I expect that it will be coming out. I hear late 2005. Which is fine for me. I want to get a wm5 phone though. Dont want to be getting c550 when there maybe wm5 phones coming a few months after my contract expires.

I think my upgrade is due at about the same time as the C550 comes out and I'm pretty sure curiosity will overcome any reservations about the device.

WM5 doesn't sound all that exciting to me.

Well, my plan is, come september, if there is a release of a wm5 phone iminant, I will get the wm5 phone. If there isn't then its c550.

The I300 was featured in Stuff Mag this month with a release date of Q4, 05. Looks a sweet phone with 3 GB HDD and WM5. I know I will be waiting til Nov 05 getting a sense of what opinion is B4 I buy one perhaps.. My advice... Hang on! The SPV is a good phone but with 3GB and WM5 with a Mini SD Wi Fi :??: :??:

Not saying the i300 won't come out BUT Microsoft once showed off a nifty candybar Smartphone called the MPX100 at a Modaco gathering. Didn't stop it being cancelled...

Seems a bit of a no-brainer to me. If you are going to wait to upgrade, then you've got a good couple of months to weigh up how the C550 performs, and gauge if the i300 is anything more than vapourware (well, at least for the UK).

By September, you'll probably be in a 'C550 now or C600 in a couple of months' dilemma anyway. :)

Thanks guys fo the posts, will check out the links.. i sold my XDA2S for £310.00 so the money is burning a hole in my pocket. I can pay out of my contract which works out at around £80.00 so i will still be quids in and my Boss gave me his Sony S700i phone for free so have a phone until i change.

I really miss playing with my C500 :)
