Mobile Phone Dilema

April 10, 2003

Help I'm confused and need some help...

I have to choose between two options and really don't have a clue which to go for...

Option 1

Siemens SPV - Mobile phone with IE6, Outlook, MSN, MEdia PLayer etc all built in, GPRS enabled for high speed mobile data transfer but smallish screen.

Option 2

Nokia 6310i & Compaq IPAQ 3900 - Nokia and IPAQ are both bluetooth machines and Nokia is GPRS enabled so can run everything that the SPV has plus a few bits like word, excel, Powerpoint presentations etc.

The decision

The SPV is funky as it is all on the phone which IMHO is pretty cool (and I like my toys), whereas with the Nokia setup I need two machines to run the net service although don't need to be connected by cable and get a larger screen.

Any idea's or comment's would be greatly appreciated !!!

Just got my iPAQ today. Can use bluetooth with my T68i or when at home I use my flatmates wireless LAN and take advantage of his broadband connection. Also going to pick up the GPRS unit (made in New Zealand - big up :D) which mounts it to the car dash and gives me voice guidance mapping. Cheaper than the car only / map only installs by far.

A phone is a phone and should be left as such.

Get an iPAQ.

Already got the IPAQ & SPV, have decided to swap to the 6310i from the SPV as it's all gimmicky where NOkias actually work properly....

Don't know about the newer models but the two Siemans I've had have been virtually indestructable. I have dropped them onto concrete so many times it's ridiculous. I only broke the first one when I chucked it at a wall. No particular reason, just wanted an upgrade.
