New phone time

[gadgetman]

You can run TomTom on S60.

The N78 is a nice looking phone, but it is Symbian OS.. My main motivation for going for a phone with Windows mobile is I already own an iPAQ (HW6910) and I have TomTom 6 loaded on it.. And with an unlimited data allowance, I can enable traffic updates on it..

Believe this is similar in software/capabilities to the Tytn II (see comments above), although obviously smaller.

The place to look for more info is in here

So how big is the touch dual and what's it's best features?

Not convinced by anything mentioned as yet.

Worth a look, I had a gander at one in the Orange shop the other day and it feels nice and slim compared to my M3100.

Yeah, I know but not the version I currently own..

My tuppence worth is:

O2 XDA Orbit II

The picture doesn't do it justice in that it looks much better in the flesh.

Got mine last week and can't stop playing with it.

Has what you are looking for in a compact size.

I believe it is also known as the HTC Polaris and HTC Touch Cruise.

It doesn't have a pull-out keyboard which is fine for me as that makes the phone bulky and I don't use it massively for texting or email.

With that said, am using it more and more for email in 'dead-time' and am proving quite nifty with the virtual keyboard and stylus.

Would suggest popping into an O2 store to eyeball it to get an idea of size etc.

Has anyone actually got one of these Touch Duals? I've had a look at one and they look ok but I don't know what the o/s is like...some of them are as slow as sh*t.

Runs WM6 which is much quicker than WM5. Best bet is to wander into a phone shop and ask to see one in action.

Failing that you could have a look at this:

I would personally rather try it out in the flesh though.

I have the previous version but the spec and look seem the same.

Great phone but I find that texts using the stylus can be a bit of a pain especially on the move (or drunk).

It's worth getting pocket informant for it as the std calendar is a bit tulip.

You should check out the forum I posted the link to earlier. Lots of real-world experience in there.

Here is a sample thread to start you off.

Using the 8gig version of the iphone for a number of months now with EDGE on vodafone. All I need works fine, the interface is also special. Tried using my N95 today and really started to miss the large screen.
