Time for a new device.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am genuinely stumped. I have had my i600 for a while now and definitely prefer smartphone form factor to the touchscreen pocket-pc for factor.

So I am thinking to myself that I may get a HTC Wings next, the advantages being:

1) Better battery life

2) Best of both worlds - full QWERTY when I need it but a normal pad when I don't need full QWERTY.

3) GPS built in

4) Slightly better camera

The disadvantages are:

1) Bulkier

2) No Scroll Wheel

3) £285

Assuming that I can get £160 for my Samsung, that pulls the price down to £125 for the Wings.

What should I do? Is there something better coming round the corner? Besides the Erato, I don't see much from HTC.

What about Windows Mobile 6.1? Should I be waiting for the official release before getting a new handset?

I used to say I wanted Standard (Smartphone) over Professional (PocketPC) but the I600 and the Vox seem to have cured me of that.

I'd say stick with the I600 as IMHO it's better than the Vox. But having said that I've ditched both and got a Touch

Vox DOESN'T have built in GPS...

PS My Moto Q9H just arrived! Worth considering?

The Vox is bulkier than an i600? :s

(How about the i620/i640?)

GPS doesn't work on the Wings, and camera is probably not any better than your i600?

I mean it doesn't work, at all!

But it has the chipset?

Yes, but no (usable) antenna it seems!

That's not good :)

Why not wait another 2 weeks and try the Samsung SGH -I780. Available approx 14 Feb from Expansys.

GPS, Touch screen, WM6 form factor very similar to I600.

I'm looking forward to getting hold of it.
