Guest present Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Hi - a few questions I hope you can help me with - are there any decent new smartphones available on contract in the UK? Are they running WM6 yet - and if so, does this have the 'large font' accessibility options of the older OS's? I'm asking for a friend who has limited eyesight and would love to update her ageing Orange C500. Thanks!

Guest Monolithix Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Have you checked the the HTC S710/Orange E650? Nice little device running winmo6 (which retains accessibility options iirc) and has a large screen and slide out keyboard...

Nice little device running winmo6 (which retains accessibility options iirc) and has a large screen and slide out keyboard... Sounds cool but ain't it a bit on the large size having a full keyboard? Would ideally like to find something C500 size or slimmer. Thanks!
Guest Monolithix Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Hmm not really, the E650 isn't as slim as the C500 but it's certainly not a large device...

Hmmm had a look but it seems like a bit big for her taste... any other recent devices worth checking out? She'd be happy to buy something on ebay if she can stick her T-Mobile sim in it.. Thanks!
Guest Monolithix Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 You could look at a Motorola Q9h or Samsung i620/i640, nice and slim but all have a full qwerty so pretty wide (although the sammys are sliders...). Nothing else in the Smartphone area worth mentioning though really!
Guest jhils1 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Forget the HTC S710, the S730 is out now and its got 3G and GPS as well as a slide out keyboard like the S710!

Guest dan13l Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Thx will check it out.. What about the HP iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger? WM6, about the size you're looking for...
