Got bored with my Kaiser and sold it....now what?

[trjons]

Who can recommend a good WM phone that is slimmer and lighter than the Kaiser?

Need the same CPU speed or quicker.
GPS not necessary.
3G not necessary.
Slideout keyboard optional.
Same size screen or bigger is a plus.

htc touch dual is the one you want. or touch cruise

Does it have to be a windows mobile device? The Nokia N95 8GB is really nice.

Doesn't have to be but I use a fair number of WM apps.

He said same speed or faster.

N95 uses a slower cpu (TI OMAP 2420 with only 330 Mhz).

The N95 is smaler but thicker than the Kaiser (21 mm vs 19 mm).

I'm still looking for something with a bigger screen. Haven't gotten rid of mine yet, but the move to smaller screens is just the opposite of what I have been looking for.

Good Luck with your search

It's better NOT to compare the 2420 to the Qualcomm 400 Mhz. The former is WAY faster than the latter - as has always been the case with TI's CPU's compared to CPU's running at the same speed.

Also see my chipset/CPU-related posts, where I've elaborated on all these issues.

Symbian S60v3fp1 has a lot of functionality built-in only accessible via third-party apps on WinMo. For example, I only needed to install Opera Mini and an MP3 call recorder on my N95 and I can already fully use it for my purposes. No tweakings, no day-long installing needed.

Specifically, what do you need?

Better not - before the Qualcomm drivers are fixed. :) Wait for the V900, the X1 or the MS808. Or, if Symbian isn't a problem, get either the Nokia N95-1, the N95 8GB or the N82 (they have cons and pros compared to the other so it's pretty hard to choose from them. I'd, personally, go for the N95-1).

Microsoft Exchange Sync
Web browsing
Some form of Pocket banking that syncs to PC (Quicken is what I use now)
Pocket Word compatibility
Slingbox is nice too

That's it off the top of my head.

Hi,

I'm also bored with my Kaiser, to be honest i'm just sick of it crashing, crappy video drivers etc. I'm waiting for this to be released, i've always had Sony Ericssons and never had any major problems.

The MS808 seems to really rock!
It has absolutely Everything, Let's hope it also comes with some hardware accelerated video drivers.

Take a look at the HP iPAQ 614c, very good phone IMHO :D

See these remarks here : http://www.modaco.com/content/HP-iPaq-iPaq-MoDaCo-com/261287/Questions-about-HP-IPAQ-610/

By my hand of course :D
