Sorry bud, how could I forget. I love this country (South Africa) since I come here 20 years ago from Nuernberg, my home town. (Germany) I enjoy low level flying over the local game reserves, soaring, diving, hunting, off road motor biking in the open savanas. Is a well developed, amaizing country ! By the way, have I ever sore or cursed anyone here or on any other forums I post to ? ? ? I may not agree with your views but I certainly don't talk 'dirty'. And specialy for you here it comes - Greetings from South Afica. Mario  I really greet you my friend - after all we share our love for cellphones althou we may disagree which one is the best. |

@Mario: 
On topic: Best smartphone? I would say, smartphone are like fine women (oh yes, fine women.....hmmmmmm...drool.....Er...Ahem). Well, basically everybody has their own tastes, 'you cant knock em' off till you've had em' all'. In my personal experience, Its best to keep an open mind. I currently use a Nokia N70, Treo 650, and imate K-Jam side by side, and have used a Moto A760i, Nokia 9500 and P910i in the recent past, and I'll say this: Neither of them are perfect.
The Treo 650 has nearly perfect PIM fuctonality, the fastest web browser, and near perfect Web-Rendering, has a beautiful 320x320 Screen (most Pocket PC devices have ony 320x240 on a screen twice the size). The largest software expandability (Freeware and otherwise), but looses out because Palm OS doesn't have very good Multitasking capabilities.
The Nokia N70. Well, The N70 seems like a phone, with the Smaphone features added just as an after-thought. The calender is crippled at best the contacts are too standard, and the software available for it is mostly fun-centeric, not productivity-centric (though it does have a couple of very decent productivty utilities like Quick Office etc.). I have seen better non-smartphones.
The i-mate K-Jam. The k-Jam has got pretty decent PIM, with probably the best outlook integeration. However if youre using a 3rd Party system in your organisation you may find yourself in a bit of a pickle. (I had to sync with Activesync, and import all the PIM data record by record, now I use Chapura, which does remote and local syncing for me, quite easily). The software available for Windows Mobile is slightly more Expensive then other platforms (Usually!). The integerated Internet Explorer is pretty decent, but not as good as the Palm's Blazer Browser. I think Opera will be better at following Web-Standards, however, the Beta version is buggy and unstable at best. The Multitaskoing capabilities are best utilised in WM2005. When a application is minimised, Windows Mobile, actually closes it, and keeps only a snapshot of it running in the RAM, somewhere in the background, thus it utilises less then half of its normal memory. Very convinient, and well designed. WM 2005 is also possibly the most stable of all the above (sound difficult to believe, right?  )
As I mentioned I have used in the past a Moto A760i, which wasn't to my taste. Its much less of a smartphone, more of a Linux Powered non-Smartphone. Reason: The Moto uses a variant of Montavista Linux, which accully doesnt have a Kernel!!! It uses a modified Java VM in place of the kernel, hence crippling the very essence of its linux background. This sadly leaves no room for running linux native applications, unlike other linux powered handheld, just J2ME and Java Applications.
Lastly the Nokia 9500. I Loved this device, It had a beautiful, 640x240 (HVGA or Half VGA) screen. Its opera based browser had EXCELLENT support for all websites, and VERY FAST (possibly the fastest) EDGE connection of all the device out there. Alas It wasn't ment to be, its size was too large to just use off your hands, and if you were going to sit down and use it, you might as well use your Laptop. If only they made it smaller.
So, the bottom line is, none of the devices are perfect, and you should just try them and see which suits you. The K-Jam and Treo 650 suit me the most.
Damn That was long.

To be entirely honest, No, I am not. But then again, I never used my phones camera as my digital camera replacement. I use a 8mpx olympus, and no phone can match that  . While on that subject, having compared the image qualities of several mobile phones including the k750, N70 and the N90, all of which are considered to be the highest in avalible GSM markets, I find them lacking in many respects.
Since I don't want to go too far off topic here, i'll just leave it at that.

imo the 6680. n70 is not a big deal, some tiny advanteges next to the former nokia models. n80 has a nice screen, thats it. so for me the most comfortable is the 6680 yet, good reception and batt standby, really fast in 3g net, many useful progams and very ggod support.

@mario...couldn't agree with you more.there's far too much sony ericsson arse licking goes on in here.i love my p910 even though it's looking rather like a silver house brick,,but as you quite rightly stated.the p990 is old technology(almost anyway)already.esatonians have got to like it or lump it.

@mrao - Yup matey, you've read it clearly ! Maybe the successor of the P990i will already have, perhaps even a 4 MP one . . .

For the time that SE is taking to release the P990,,... they might as well release it with a 4MP cam
