Need Some Help

[Guest beermonstermatt]

Hello :)

OK, having a bad week, the screen on my PDA has just started to (nasty lines running across the bottom of the screen) and the joystick on my E200 has just about given up! (Both out of warranty :cry: ) like I said bad week! On the plus side I am looking at this as a sign that it is time to upgrade!

As both have packed up I am thinking about getting PDA/Phone as apposed to 2 boxes to lug round. I need some advise on what to get, this is what I would like on my new toy:

Bluetooth

WiFi (built in would be ideal, but as long as I could stick a WiFi SD card in)

Not overly fussed about a camera

Would like to use it for Tom Tom

I do use Pocket Word, Excel and databases quite a lot so I think this rules out going for a smartphone like the C550 (plus the lack of WiFi)

I have looked around and there seams to be a few options for me:

Orange M2000 / 02 XDA2s (Same thing I think)

SPV M500

O2 XDA2

Looking at a few pictures I notice the M2000 has a slide out keyboard, has any one used this? Is it any good or are the keys too small? (They look very small)

The M500 looks quite a lot smaller than the others is this the case?

Any feedback / advise would be great, also are there any other models I have missed that are worth looking at?

Thanks in advance! :D

M2000 keyboard is small, but perfectly usable, unless you have fat fingers!

The M2000 is a cracking unit, more features than you can shake a stick at.

Despite all this praise...I'm selling mine, not because anything is wrong with it, simply that a new job means I don't use it any more and only need a phone and basic features...so the C500 is fine for me, and easier to port around. My M2000 is on ebay now.
