Hey everyone! *waves*
Well who would’ve thought that I’d give up on not only Palm (happened two years ago), but eventually also my favorite cell-phone operative system: Symbian
Yes, I’m a little sick of my Nokia N73 and has been looking for a
new hybrid between cell-phone and PDA, but this time I’m really interested in the ”real thing”, which to me are PDA-phones such as the ones that Ipaq and Qtek manufactures. This means that I’m now leaning very much towards getting a device that has Windows Mobile as an OS, and thus I have come here for advice after Googling for a "Pocket PC forum"
So, what am I looking for exactly? Well the thing about my N73 which irritates me the most is how darn slow it’s starting to feel! I purchased it in August last year at which point I didn’t have any problem whatsoever with the device and thought that it was a major improvement over my Nokia 6681. But it feels as if the phone’s performance has been gradually dropping ever since despite regular firmware upgrades and cleansing the memory (both internally and the memory card) and now - going from sleep mode to active mode when unlocking the keyboard takes
several seconds, as does launching the camera or opening messages (it’s always felt a tad slow I’ll admit that, but this is just ridiculous!)
Anyway, apart from wishing that my future PPC-phone will run and open applications just as smooth as my old Zodiac 2 did (ah the memories), my other requirements are as follows:
* At least a 2 megapixel camera, preferably one which has autofocus and a real flash
* The OS should be able to run The Quest, Enslaved, and Orion: Legend of Wizards (or at least two of them)
* There is
no need for built-in WIFI or GPS as I’d rather use my Tablet PC for surfing the web while at a hotspot, but if I would have to choose between either then I’d pick GPS
* Same goes for a built-in keyboard - it doesn’t really matter, I’m more concerned about the price going up due to extra features such as these (though this one would be most convenient and preferred feature out of the three)
* 3G would be much appreciated since that’s the type of SIM card I’m using
Lastly, mention both existing
and upcoming devices! I guess I’m not in a rush but would still like to make the change this summer, so anything coming out after that would probably make me feel restless and impatient. Unless it’s some super-phone with a 4.0 megapixel camera
Thanks everyone
