just noticed I have cracked the display on my Hx4700 PDA.


since a replacement screen is £83 on eBay from HK and I was thinking of a new phone, a smart phone would mean 1 box less thing to carry each day.

apart from the usual pda functions I use it heavily as an ebook reader, mainly .lit files but would be nice to still be able to read .pdb files, so I figure im looking at a windows based phone

but I know nothing about the smart phones out there, so, any one got any recommendations for a good smart phone?

TIA

Smartphone or PPC/Phone

Theres currently only one option  HTC TytnII

Sure, there are others out there, but thats the best iMO.

XDA Trion or Orbit.  Depending on if you want a slide out keyboard.

if not HTC.  Which I think is the same thing anyway under a different mobile network?

XDA is what O2 call their smartphone/pocket pcs, same as T-mobiles MDA, Oranges SPV and Vodaphones own branded phones.

HTC isnt the only provider of Windows Mobile devices, but they have the largest range.

The TytnII has a 3mp camera, 3g, wifi, GPS and a slide keyboard/tilt screen.  Also runs the far superior Windows Mobile 6.

Personally, Im using the HTC Trinity (SPV M700) with a hacked WM6 rom and its great.

HTC TyTn II

Just got my work one and its great.
