Have any of you been tempted to have a look at a Pogo? I like the idea of full internet browsing on the move... |

It looks interesting but a little on the large side to be that portable still you need that so the screen's large enough. Nice idea. |

Pogo is a small, rectangular device, slightly smaller than a Palm, which downloads real Web pages at high speed, using a special form of compression to make for fast loading, and shows them on its colour screen. You can also make voice calls and receive SMS. They're currently only available at Carphone Warehouse under an exclusive UK deal, costing £299 plus line rental. |

Sorry, silly me I thought it was bigger than that, read about it a while ago and forgot it's dimensions. |

It was too heavy, about 2xx grams. Not quite good. I'll rather purchase P800 or Nokia 7650 because it is better than it.

Had a look at a the link above and the mini site it mentions aswell, I like it, if I didn't already have the T68 and my Palm I'd buy one, the only thing is it's not got Bluetooth capability, I think that's really going to take off. Like the fact that it Flash enabled, they were thinking there, and the mmc slot, gprs, it's almost got everything. Not bad battery life either |

A bit off the topic, Drinky, how do you like your T66, or do you just like the icon, interested to hear your impression. |

Its very much Ericsson going back to basics. Rather than throwing in loads of features, they've made a phone with superb sound quality, great reception on every netowrk I've tried it with, and fast software - the T9 is faster than on a Nokia, even the 3330 - and its a great size too. If you don't need Bluetooth or a colour screen (and hey, I never used the Bluetooth on my T68, and the colour screen was only really a novelty), then its the best phone out there by a street. If you want to be noticed, its better than the T68, because unless someone spots the colour screen, the T68 looks quite ordinary. |

Excellent, sounds good, I saw a photo of the T66 next to a T68, I couldn't believe how small it is. Thanks |
