Guest VaughanWoodall Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 Hello all, www.commtrades.co.uk quite good for sim free mobiles...the new nokia titanium thingy is brand new from £450 I think...not bad for an over elaborate 8310!!! Enjoy browsing!
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 Morgan Computers (Birmingham, Manchester and New Oxford Street, plus mail-order and Web) have The Handspring Treo 180, SIM free,for £150+VAT & P&P www.morgancomputers.co.uk and http://www.handspring.co.uk/products/treo/index.asp Combined GSM mobile phone and palm organiser - SIM free * Combined "Palm Powered" organiser and dual band GSM mobile phone * Phone with 100 hours stand-by, 2.5 hours talk time, SMS text message * Full featured Palm OS organiser with built-in qwerty keyboard * Includes HotSync cable, travel charger and headset - sold SIM free OK, it's a house brick, and it's black and white only... but theres a BIG screen, a QWERTY keyboard... and it does quite a lot of what the SPV does, (more if you ignore the need to unlock it!)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 That's not bad, 150 quid for a treo! P
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 The BAD news appears to be that the software required for emails etc., costs an extra $49 (Unless I misunderstood Treo's webpage) But, going by the photographs, it does most of what the SPV does. Obviously there's a trade-off between a decent screen size and phone size. But it seems worth a closer look.
Guest midnight Posted March 30, 2003 Report Posted March 30, 2003 treos are a bit naff to be honest hence the low price :wink: no mp3, no movies, no games (or not very good ones anyway), no gprs, black and white screen, the size of a brick, 33mhz processor, the quality of calls is BAD, the ringers are even worse (very quiet), web browsing is naff (mainly due to b&w screen), terrible os, trust me, the treo aint anywhere near what the spv can do :wink:
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 "treos are a bit naff to be honest hence the low price....NO GPRS" Strange... Treo seems to think otherwise: {http://www.handspring.co.uk/products/treomail/index.asp} "Supports GPRS and GSM data Treo Mail supports GPRS with always on and fast downloads as well as GSM data. Choose what is best for you." "...black and white screen..." While THIS model (the 180) has a mono screen, the 270's screen is colour. And what's more... BOTH models will run any Palm software WITHOUT the need to be decert'ed first. I think you may know less about Treos than you appear to think.
