I'm baaack - but with which Windows Mobile phone?

[Guest Chris b.a.r.f.]

Hey all - well, having seen my girlfriend's C500 and how reliable it is, I've decided that my new phone's going to be a Windows Mobile device (after a 2-year flirtation with Symbian/an SE P900)

The choice seems to be between a Qtek 8300/8310 - even though some of the PDA phones are very cool, I have a habit of breaking them rendering the touchscreen utterly useless :-)

Just posting here to hear you opinions on the above phones - WLAN is *very* important - but any other suggestions will be well-received :-)

Well, if pda phones are out of the question and you want WLAN then the 8310 seems like the best choice doesn't it?

PS: Welcome back Chris, long time no see ;)

iMate SP5 or Qtek 8310/8300 are reliable and good phones, the recent ROM upgrades have improved them futher. With a little 3rd party tool called WM5storage you can even copy things to the phone with Linux or a Windows PC without Activesync.

I too don't really go for touchscreens usually, however I bought a Mio A701 to replace the iMate SP5 as a phone with GPS built in was too hard to resist.

So I will have an SP5 on ebay soon lol.

O2 are also releasing the HTC typhoon soon:
