Orange have come up trumps and offered me a new phone early - because I'm a legend obviously

I can have anything they sell for nothing, with the exception of this bad boy, the SPV M2000 which will cost me £50.

Any self respecting gadget bloke would be after the best he could get his hands on with all the features you'll never use etc etc

So, suggestions/tips/recommendations etc fire away. Inspire my future communications with your knowledge!

You want the new Sony/Ericsson W800i Walkman phone,it's the nuts.I've got a Nokia 6680,which is great,but big

You like the smartphone functionality so stick with what you've got or stump up for the SPV.

If you want to get spendy, have a look at the i-mate JASJAR or K-JAM.

Just noticed that Orange now carry the Treo. If you can get that for free then that's the one to go for.

What about this baby for the house phone.

Why the Treo over the SPV M2000?

better text entry, smaller than it looks (aerial sticks out a bit though) and more stable o/s. Several friends in the US swear by it.

If you really want to go Windows mobile then wait for a bit because a windows version of the Treo will be out in the next few months.

Hrmm ... I'm torn between going the full functionality PDA style animal and going for the smaller sexy looking thing.

My only thing about the PDA things is that my phone lives in my front jeans pocket or in my shorts or something - the M2000 and the Treo are still quite big. The SPV C500 that I have now is the smallest form factor Smartphone kicking around, which is cool.

Maybe I should just get the SPV C550 ... although the Sony-Ericsson W800i Walkman phone looks pretty cool and 'gadgety'

I wonder if it, being a Sony device, will have built in copyright checking etc ....

well if your not too fussed about the pda thing then the world is your oyster (and you can always link to a pda through bluetooth or wire).

We are putting the W800 through its paces now - not looking too bad at the mo (and we'll be doing a back to back with the Motorola i-Tunes phone in the next fortnight).

If music is your thing, there's going to be a raft of mp3 playing phones through xmas - so again it's a bit of a wait.

All this faffing about when you know you really want one of these puppies...

WTF is that?

I'm not going to wait, besides ... you need patience for that

The W800i looks pretty cool, I've just been on it's website for a look.
