HELP.
My Qtek 9100 (Wizard) was broken in a freak car door accident. Now I need to buy a new PDA/Smartphone and with the issues I had with the Qtek it is not a slam dunk that I get the same thing again. Currently with Cingular (GSM) but might consider changing.
Uses:
1) Phone
2) e-mail (mainly 2-3 POP accounts, currently not PUSH)
3) Sync with Desktop Outlook - Contacts, emails, Calender, Tasks.
4) Internet browsing
5) Camera (bonus, but not required)
6) Picture/File storage/Games
Wizard:
Pros - Big screen, Nice keyboard layout. Expandable memory, Camera, GSM World usage.
Cons - Not that small. No external keys make Tel dialing a pain in the A-s. Telephone Reception not great and glitches during calling.
Constant "Soft" resets required.
New options seems to include:
Treo 650 (cingular)
Treo 700p (avail; for GSM yet? If not Verizon I guess)
Treo 700w (avail; for GSM yet? If not Verizon I guess)
Cingular 8125 (another Wizard)
Nokia 9300 (Never tried, but it looks cool and is avail on Cingular. Nice as a phone, but BIG.
Nokia E61 (Kind of big?)
Motorola Q (Not as high function as Treo/Wizard? Small Screen?)
Blackberry 8700 (without the actual PUSH service and only POP, maybe a waste?)
Please please send me your suggestions and Pro/Cons for each. It is really tough to have to visit 5 diff stores to look at each phone...
ALSO - Anything readically new coming soon that should make me wait a few months?
