    it'll be awful

    te HTC 'touch flow" front end on the MS mobile is just absolute w@nk (pardon my french)

    it'll be slow, unreliable, crap to use - I could go on but will struggle not to swear.

    I briefly had an HTC touch diamond as my business phone - i couldn't get rid of it quick enough it was CRAP!! - i wanted to run it over with my car and revers to make sure after just the first days use. Luckily one of the assistand directors spied it in a meeting and said Oooh I like your phone - i took the sim out right there and then and gave it away!! - got a Nokia E71 now which is the best business phone I have ever used.


    just go an buy an iPhone and be done with it.

    Don't bother, the battery life is non-existant.

    Shame you had a bad experience.

    I've currently got the Touch Diamond 2 and it's fantastic. Not only can I work from anywhere but I use it out on the road too. Got excellent GPS with Google maps but cheap addons as well. Got a fully loaded sat nav package fo less than 30 quid.

    Yes it's Windows mobile and yes 6.5 isn't paticularly exciting but neither is any operating system in basic config. The great thing for me about Windows mobile is that you can dissassemble it, tweak and take out the bits you dont want, add in stuff others have developed in the excellent online communities, re-compile and run with it. Hows that for customisation - something you wont find on an i phone.

    No. Thank all the gods. Anyway, enjoy it – you obviously know what you're getting into.

    Something you could and still can with symbian e.g. Nokia N and E series phones like the N70/N73/N95 and N96 with I have had. :wink:

    You can now got the N97 with is a touch screen.

    And there's no way I'm ending my very competitive contract with Orange to move to an overpriced one with O2, just to get a fancy phone.
    Do not write below this line. Office use only.

    157grams WITH the battery. 59 grams difference - that's about 59ml of water or, if you put stuff in your water, less. You know it makes sense.

    Well its not going to be much fecking good without the battery is it :roll: :wink: . Truth be told I dont want a phone that has all of these bells and whistles, telephone calls, text messages, occasional photos, listen to MP3s, possible sat nav but not that bothered about that either is all I want my phone to do. All that extra bollix just slows the phone down and God help me if I receive another e mail with sent from my ipoo or slackberry at the bottom :x

    concur on the sent from.... no way I'm going for a fruit based phone for that alone.

    I used to have smartphones and much preferred symbian to WM but got fed up of carrying camera, MP3 player and swanky but flaky phone so have gone back to bombprof phone with a better camera and a separate organiser. that said tho my c905 is a huge let down from my previous experience of Sony - I use an old but 100% reliable w810i again now.
