Which Smartphone for me!

[Guest cossack2000]

My HP PDA has finaly given up the ghost after 6 years of faithfull service

haveing the handwriting style of that only matched by a Rabid Monkey finding a replacement is my only option however a smartphone i feel is my next step

i have looked at the

Hp 614c

the Palm Treo 500

and the HTC Touch

my needs are simple a phone with windows media and a decent calendar/diary (love pocket informant for this) and the device needs to have touch screen capability

i was wondering if other members could give me a view on the units i have shortlisted

also in relation to the Hp 614 and the headset can this be used for making calls with or do i have to use a stupid captain Scarlett type Blue tooth headset?

any comments recomendations would be appriciated

Hi M8,

You might have better luck asking is the PPC section as touchscreen is something you're after:

Are you looking at a specific network provider or are you buying SIM free?

Also what sort of budget are you looking at? as this may well be a deciding factor.

and the HTC Touch

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously though - no. I had one of these and hated it. It was slow and unresponsive. It looked nice though. I was considering the Touch 3G though, which is the Touch's successor. It's specs suggested it would be an alright phone.

I would not use a HP type of windows smartphone which I agree with simon211175. slow,

unresponsive, always hang. Generally Windows has a lot of bugs. I will prefer a blackberry

or Nokia. They are more stable to my opinion.
