So my contract is out, and ive been looking on the market for a new phone. The first handset I set my heart on was the w900 from vodafone with its 2 megapixel auto focus camera and huge storage for mp3s but then as you do, I checked other networks for better deals and came across the XDA mini S on 02's website. The XDA ranges caught my eye due to the features they offer, especially the XDA exec which is completly off the chart but to me was too big to fit into your pocket. But reading up on mini S's specs and what it can do damn was I impressed. It basically looks and offers windows xp in your pocket not to mention the option of installing satelite navigation such as Tom Tom 5 onto it and use its built in GPRS connection to use the software. Its screen size is way bigger than sony ericssons w900's and offers full internet browsing and the 2 handsets are near enough the same size. The only 2 advantages I could see that the w900 had over the xda mini S was the lighting speed 3g connection which is 7x faster than gprs and the 2MP auto focus camera compared to the Mini S's 1.3. So the end it off, what do you look for in a phone and do you think pocket PC's such as the new tiny xda Mini s are the future? Sony ericsson should target this area, because if they made one of these at the same size with 3g and a 2 mega pixel camera they would own the phone market.

Yeh, but it looks as if soon there will only be one league...the XDA mini S is the same size/smaller than most phones and offers more.

You go to decide what you require out of your phone and make a decision on that basis.
Cheers
 ENJOY
