Phone musings

Daz · 06-09-2007, 16:57

I'll quite probably be in a position to either A) get out of my contract or b) blag a new phone in the coming weeks, so I've been having a look around. Now, I like my PDA, and I like Windows Mobile. Obviously XDA-type devices have been around for some time, but what I dont want to buy in a phone is kind of a given for the hybrids - size.

There is, supposedly, light at the end of the tunnel for me, in the form of the XDA Graphite. A phone running Windows mobile rather than a PDA that can make calls - perfect on paper.

Reviews are somewhat polarised and I've yet to find one to look at myself in an o2 shop. I'm trying to decide if it would be worth a risk, so I don't suppose anyone has used/seen one?

[edit]Though the spec says WM5, it will either come pre-loaded with WM6 or I can do the upgrade myself.

110x47x18mm, 105g. It's smaller, but not that much smaller.

SPV E650 is similar dimensions, but possibly not your style (knowing what you're like

)

Length doesn't really bother me (fnarrrr!), my old 6210 (I think that was it) was pretty long for it's day but I liked it.

Well, here's the E650 details if you've not seen it.

Daz · 06-09-2007, 17:28

I'll take a look

Similar in dimensions yet somehow looks chunkier :S

Not really bothered though, not like I've had it on any of my other phones
