T-Mobile - 18 months is almost up - what's next?

[Guest tsutton]

My 18 months contract with T-Mobile is almost up - what phone should I get next?

I'm currently using MDA Vario and I'm loving it. I'm on the Flext 20 plans with WnW.

What phone should I be looking at next? I was thinking Vario II but I think they're going to end it soon. I'm looking for the same thing as Vario, but hopefully with inbuilt GPS or better CPU/memory.

Thanks,

Vario III ;)

Built in GPS, Faster CPU, loads more RAM, MicroSDHC, Windows Mobile 6...

Think it comes out in about 2-4 weeks time.

[Guest tsutton]

Mm, it looks good. I wonder if I will get it for free for upgrade (unlikely!)

I'd guess your mate's monthly spend was a lot more than tsutton's Flext20 + W&W to have been able to get that deal.

I think it was nearly £50 and got it to about £30 i think... may be he just had the gift of the gab (or what ever the saying is)

Noted, Paul. ;)

I'm in the same position, but gave up on the Vario long ago. I've been using an I600 for a few months and love it (most of the time)

I'm thinking about a Vario III, or a Touch (I prefer small and light, at the cost of features)

I'm nervous about the Touch - I need reliable and a good battery. Nobody likes to say "my new phones a PoS", but I think that's what some of them are saying to themselves.

The Vario III looks awesome, but is it just too big? The TyTn struck me as a "brick" and it seems to be about the same dimensions

Any suggestions? (esp from Touch users)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Woah, woah... the Vario II is a LOT smaller and less bricky than a TyTN! I stopped using my TyTN for that exact reason - too big!

Paul, do you have the link to the size comparsion graph between Vario I, II and III ?

Paul, do you have the link to the size comparsion graph between Vario I, II and III ?

Thank you.

Beware. they're being "clever" with the sizes

I put in the listed dimensions of each phone (from pdadb.net, which isn't always accurate, but the numbers were the same everywhere I looked).

We got the TyTn II today and it's a few (3-4?) mm thinner (screen to battery cover) than the Wizard/XDA Mini S, but it is NOT the 8mm thinner that the numbers suggest!

[Guest chucky.egg]

I've just discovered that the weights of the devices are inaccurately reported too

The Kaiser was touted as being 170g, compared to 168g for a Wizard (Vario I)

In actual fact the TyTn II is 192g and the Wizard 172g (incl battery and memory card)
