@gadgetboytom:
1, 2: stinger was the code-name for Smartphone 2002 in development
3: It will probably have bugs but it will be easily upgradeable and the bugs will probably get taken care of quickly
4: Who cares as long as it's good?
5: No, this is tragic IMO
6: I don't think anyone has seen it yet...

Well.. I guess we will have to see when the phone is available. But my guess is that the things I stated earlier will be true on an M$ phone. Just look how the M$ based PDA's behaves.
With the later software's the T68 isn't slow. And my T68 hasn't crashed once since I got the my last sw upgrade. It works perfectly, and I uses the phone heavily... |

it may be good but it still lacks loads of real world features
no bluetooth (no support either)
its massive too put the camera on it as well and sh*t whats the point.
and wap 1.2.1? what? maybe that was good last year but now?
html support maybe cool but data speeds arent high enough to cope with real sites, why have cut down html when wap 2 contains the same info?
what can it do that the p800 cant do?

adamrj thanks for the link. So which design looks better to y'all, SPV or Z100? Not sure I really love either all that much but at least they aren't ugly...
I still think my T68m is about the best-looking phone I've ever seen.

Im guessing here but seeing as the SPV has an SD card slot you can easily buy a bluetooth module for it as one is being developed for the Z100 ... if that makes any difference?
TBH what do you want a camera for the phone for anyways... its nice to get wallpapers etc but for real pics - get a real digital camera.
Apart from that I cant see any overriding issues. |

platform. Sadly there are no alternatives because of M$ dominance in the market. I have other OS's as well that I would like to use all the time but as I said the important

There are a lot of alternatives, for most purposes. |

lingart, a SD card is a good workaround, but not a great one. It should be built in.
I agree about the digicam. A built-in camera is a neat toy, but as an add-on... what's the point? A real digicam with the ability for small-format photos is where it's at.

That phone scares me. Aggressively ugly. Would never touch it. The GUI looks good though. |
