My comments on this topic are this.

This came to me whilst talking to a friend. I was saying how I needed a new phone after selling my t68 last december in anticipation of the t68i design. (Same software when updated, I know).

Also at this time I was planning to by my first computer. We were talking about the features of what the t68 can do and what a computer can do. And then it dawn on me that, over the past 8 years since Ive been an avid mobile phone freak, I have been looking for a phone that has computer features.

I belive so much in wireless that Id bet money on it.

Mobile or Landline?
Laptop or computer?

We all know we love mobility. We want to do want we want, when we want.

Then comes practibility.

Laptop or PDA?
Big Mobile or Small?

We all Love smal, compact, neat even cute things. But we all also love that power that the big devices do.

So we have to think here, What is best for me?

For me I have decided that my mobile is just for talking, texting and conectivity. (ocasional Waping.)

I.e T39.

Pros,

Small, robust, E-mail client, conectivity.
Cons,

Visability.

Now we all love visability and design. thats why we love the 9210 & the t68 for there colour screen and nice design. (Thats how life is made up of, colour & design.)

So as we yern for more features and colour screens. We start to enter the teritory of the Computer. (Pc, Mac, unbiased term.) As this is where ther comes conflict as we try to cram all the features of a computer into a phone.

So with this in mind we look at the mobile computer,

Laptop or pda?

For me I choose the pda. Reasons being, nice screen for wap & web browsing (more visual). E-mail (more visual, attachments.). Contacts (more visual, Photo's.). Office. (spread sheets, Visual dependant. Word etc.)

You can not get theese things from your mobile satisfacturily.

So get something that can!

Foe me Im looking at not to distant products like the,

Fujitsu Siemens LOOX

or

Compag Ipaq 3970.

Both with the new Xscale 400mhz processor. More than enough power for on the road communications and office.

(But I did consider the P800 before I came to terms with my relisation.)

The thing that has been need for the marriage of the to things was Bluetooth. Now that it is here, I feel that we should concentrate more what we use use device for.

I have to end this note which has ended up to be an article. I hope that this benefits anybody who reads this.

I would apreciate if you could emial me your coments.

Thankyou.


I belive very much in wireless.

Yea, I want a phone that has most of the pc features, but also
connectivity to a normal pc.
I think my next one will be Motorola A820. That seems to have
"everything", including 3G.

Not me, that phone is a little too big. One thing I notice, a lot of companies are coming out with color phones, but they are huge.

The only comparison to the T68 is the Nokia 7210.

Mikael,
I must agree with you (besides that you are EVIL and want to use PPC units )
I am not sure that the trend towards the merger of PDA's and mobile phones are a good one, as you are likely to end up with a bulky and overpriced phone or a PDA with a screen to small for comfort. The problem is that you need to make too great compromises, I'm sure the 800 will be a great device, but I don't think it will be something for me. IMHO is a Bluetooth connected phone and PDA a much more usefull combination, even if you need to lug around with yet another electronic device.

Do you think that you will sit and read eBooks on the p800, like we do on Palm, PPC etc?

/H (T68 & m515 )

He who has the most electronic devices when he dies wins

I remember watching some Saturday Night Live show where the guy said, "Oh, look, I have a meeting" and he was looking at his ring with a magnifying glass. It was hilarious and reminded me of this

A Super phone will be cool, but not a chance on earth that it will replace the speed, power, connectivity and view capabilities of a monitor
So I would like everything to stay up at the same pace

Of course not Fahed_2000, I don't expect to look at the screen with a magnifying glass and say "Oh, I got an SMS message!"
