What will be your next handheld???

[nm8]

For a span of 4 years I have owned a few handheld devices namely:

in chronological oreder:

HP RX 3715
FS Loox 720
FS Loox N560
Imate Jam
Treo 650
and the Artemis

I like the inbuilt keyboard of the Treo 650, I also like the VGA screen and fast processor of the N560 but the GPS sucks, and I like the OS stability (though still not perfect) and the quick GPS reception of the Artemis.
I like the single hand operability of the Treo 650.
Im getting sick and tired of using the stylus on my Artemis. You cant really use single hand comfortably.

Now Im looking for an upgrade. Something that combines all what I like.

The Kaiser doesnt get my attention due to the fact thats its very bulky. I dont like the sliding Keyboard.
Treo 750 doesnt have WiFi so its not worth it for me.
Polaris is also out of my wish list.

So to sum it all up, what Im looking for with my next handheld is:
1. fast processor at least 400mhz
2. inbuilt GPS and WiFi
3. big ram and rom
4. inbuilt keyboard like the treo
5. VGA screen
6. high megapixel camera

When will HTC answer my prayers???
If only Treo 750 had GPS and WiFi it will be the ultimate handheld for me.

And what will be your next handheld??? Yes you... I know you want an upgrade... I just know it.

touch cruse

vga screen can be a pile of problems with older apps/games and the likes

the treo 750 is slightly bigger then the kaiser. if the 30g make a big difference, i'm not so sure. i ordered my kaiser already, i will get it on monday...

Kaiser...just auctioned... :)

In my own personal opinion, OUR ARTEMIS is the best PDA at the moment! And I have decided to keep it until I find the perfect one for me. That is if the Treo 750 will be upgraded with GPS and WiFi. Or if HTC makes another Artemis with a Treo Keyboard (aka Thumb board) then thats a no brainer for me.

there are three things i really don't like with Artemis: USB1, no keyboard and camera, everything else is ok imo.
Sometimes a faster cpu would be nice, but this will drain batterylife for sure...

i'll post my expirience with my Kaiser when i get it next week...

I dont mind USB1, and the camera, its there but its unusably crap anyway. My nokia N70s camnera is better.

If only the Artemis had a keyboard and faster processor it will be a keeper.

Anyway Goodluck woth your coming Kaiser...btw have read about the video playback that Kaiser owners complain about???

i like the external access to my storagecard, this is really convenient, also the keyboard on kaiser - i love it, specially the material it is made of... :)

Yes, i heard about the video issue - just tried to watch 30 minutes movie with tcpmp - imo no problem. so far i can live with it. The camera is great if you're using it with daylight - autofocus is working very well..but if it is dark, it's again not really usable...
if your comparing artemis and kaiser in weight - the first time you'll be shocked, it's really heavy compared with Artemis (specially the battery)

the only real issue is batterylife as expected....first it was only one day! using gps only with batterypower uses a lot of power :(
now i flashed another rom and radio rom, it's two days, maximum.

the speed, camera, (ok, speed & camera comes with Polaris) and keyboard of kaiser with the batterylife of artemis - this would be a great device ;)

Hi Pete

Nice to hear youre happy with your brand new toy.

For me, Ill keep the Artemis (this is the best PDA I ever owned so far) for long until something comes out that will really make my heart thump and say GET THAT ONE!

Cheers!!!
