RE: Re: SonyEricsson P800 or T610

After just going out to car phone warehouse, turns out the T610 is not out
on Orange yet anyway - but will be shipping in the next few days. I don't
want a Symbian PDA type device anyway as my iPaq is hard to beat - I bet
even the next generation of Symbian phones won't be quite there either???

There are 17 new Symbian-based phones in the pipeline from assorted
manufacturers. If you can, I'd wait - these should offer P800 like
functionality with the rough edges smoothed off, in sensible
packaging. I've played with a P800 & a T610, and don't think either
them are particularly great TBH. YMMV...
