X600

Xelibri Series
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone506.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone507.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone509.php

http://www.gsmarena.com/phone552.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone553.php

But I personally recommend:
Sharp GX30(Vodafone)/GX32(unlock) (available)
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone629.php
Sony Ericsson S700 (coming soon at Q2/3 2004)
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone693.php
Motorola V1000 (coming soon at Q2/3 2004)
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone655.php
If you want PDA phone,
Sony Ericsson P900 (available)
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone544.php
Motorola E680
http://www.gsmarena.com/phone689.php
I think Motorola V1000 is the most powerful phone I have ever view:
1. Bluetooth (which I prefer most, no Bluetooth, no buy)
2. Large Screen (240 X 320)
3. LCD 256k color screen
4. Weight 91g
5. Advanced GPS function
6. Expansion card slot
7. Build-in digital 1.2 Mpix camera
8. MP3 & MPEG4 Player
9. Almost like a PDA phone, the only thing that it don't have is touch screen.

Hahaha, but the V1000 won't be released anytime soon! By the time it's released the specs aren't going to be more then the standard. |

X600 is a bad phone. No video recording. Plus ir works only with samsung phones. K500 is loads better.

these posts were made about 8 months ago but for the record siemens phones have the most irritating ui on this planet.

@milmino: I disagree about that. I have found the Siemens UI one of the simplest & intuitive to use. Plus their phones are feature-packed and reliable. The X100 was my first (and probably last) Samsung. Didnt enjoy the feel, lacks lots of features on most other brands, plus the available features are often limited in compatiblity & performance.

I didn't disagree thaat siemens were simple, just that they are irritating, for example, once the yes is on the right softkey, then in the next menu it's on the left, etc. If one is trying to do something in a rush like set up wap, he can get really frustrated.
samsung on the other hand are somewhat compex, but the ui grows on you.

@milmino: Yes, I can see what you mean about the Siemens UI :). Samsung however is a different matter. It didn't quite row on me. As things are, I dont see myself touching another Samsung until & unless there is a significant change in their policy: UI, feature set, compatibility (thinking of IrDA esp.) etc
