Recommended Smart Phones for TT5 Mobile

FrostyPredator

Can anyone recommend a decent mdern smart phone which could replace my current Samsung D500 and IPAQ2210 running TT5 with a TT bluetooth receiver. TomTom is excellent on the PPC but I will soon be replacing the phone and was wondering if now is the time to dump the PPC and go for a mobile all in one solution maybe even with a built in GPS receiver. Any ideas?

I don't really want a pocket pc sized phone due to the size and weight. Do Nokia or Sony do anything with a sybian operating system maybe?

Also worth considering the new SPV C600 - updated version of the C500 with WM5.0 and improved screen.

Vodafone themselves now sell their version of the qtek 8310/i-mate SP5 and is called the v1240. Someone on contract might easily upgrade to that for free...

But if you phone up refer to the new qtek smartphone and not the new Vodafone model number because most staff haven't a clue. If you get nowhere say it's a smartphone and someone will sort you out.

Don't know if it runs TTM5.2 yet though.... trying to decide on this or a Nokia N70 at the moment. Mainly dependent on new cradle for car kit for me.

Ive got a Sony Ericsson P910i with TT5 and it works really well. I've not had any problems getting a bluetooth GPS reciever (Holox bt-321) to work, unlike some machines running Microsoft software. As a phone it's really good as well, the click wheel makes navigating through the menu really quick. Theres no problems syncing with MS Outlook either.

I picked mine up for free with a cheapo contract from o2. You have to make sure you get the correct TT version. It's the UIQ version, not the Symbian one, thats for nokia's

I just got a T-Mobile MDA Compact II (HTC Charmer) which I am quite pleased with.

It has a 320x240 screen but it's size is something between a candy bar phone and a PDA. It takes full sized SD cards and runs Windows Mobile 5. You can get it on the "web and walk" tarrif with 40 Meg of GPRS included for £22.50 x 18 months.

It's about half an inch wider/longer than the D500 but slightly thiner.

Samsung D500 - 94 x 46 x 24 mm
MDA Compact II - 108 x 58 x 18 mm

Orange have a M600 (HTC Prophet) coming out soon, same size but with WiFi.
