nah, 4 once i cant blame them, i am 100% sure it is the unit...

check out the Palm Treo 750, does eveything I need.
I use mine for GPS, MP3, data connection for email/internet/outlook. camera & video.
Comes with word, excel, powerpoint and PDF viewer.
It does that handwriting recognition thing, with some practice
Oh yer don't for get it can make phone calls too :D

Pros: see above & excellent phone support

cons: Phone support only for 3-6 months cant really remember
about as heavy as every other PDA
standard battery needs charging every 2-3 days depending on use
keypad too small but it has a touch onscreen keyboard which is better
overall: I'd buy one ! ;)
(I got mine as a work freebe), the options was:
1. blackberry, OMG wash your mouth out
2. jasjam
3. Treo 750
I think I made the right choice

Well I got an HTC P3600i (Dopod, O2 clone). Does what I want and can load maps if I get a bluetooth GPS.

A lot smaller than my Xda II which I' veeery happy about...

Harry,

I know where you are comming from.
Recently gave up my simple Kyocera CDMA and took on a LG TU550, car kit and all. Tok a photo with the damn thing, then spent two days reading the book, trying to down load it????

HTC P3600 (previously Dopod D810).

Unless you want a slide-out keyboard then the HTC TyTN.

Quad-band GSM, 3.5G, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-fi, 2.0MP camera, 1.5MP cam on front, Windows mobile 6... the list goes on.
