Re: Vario II - speed of WM5 ?

["Ho Yin Ng" <architect.hoyin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nah .. Vario has a 400mhz processor with 64mb ram compared to my M600
which
only has 200mhz!!!

I have never seen a Vario 2 - but it is larger, heavier and has a slide out
keyboard (which I personally don't want).

So far the M600 is my perfect phone - a part from the speed and the
annoying
fact that if it is sunny I cannot see what is displayed on the screen! Oh
and it does not have built in GPS receiver and the fact that the
loudspeaker
is on the back and of an appalling quality!

Not much of a perfect phone.

When someone rings me the phone takes priority. But it has trouble handling
the two applications at once and so any action you try to take is severely
delayed.
