I'm being made redundant and the nasty people at work want their phone back even though I write C# and VB.NET applications as a hobby. :mad:

I'm currently developing on a HTC TyTN II ... Great phone, but I see absolutely no point in the sliding keyboard.

Anyone have any recommendations for a WM phone with GPS and no sliding keyboard? I'd quite like one with an accelerometer too.:)

Cheers
Phil

I think I'm going to go for the Diamond 2, if it's not available on T-Mobile UK I'll go for the original Diamond. :)

I'm using the Samsung Omnia. Even if screen resolution is only 240x400 (480x640 for the Diamond), the screen is bigger.
It also has a micro-SD port.

And Samsung has just released its SDK.

Quite a nice looking phone but sadly not available on T-Mobile UK.

Also using the samsung SDK won't work on standard Window Mobile.:(

I think I'll just stick to me Diamond then! LOL.

It'd be a bit dull just writing apps for me and 3 other people to use!:(
