Don't rule out the WinMobile phones yet.

WinMobile working fine for me. I did have to load the free version of the Opera Browser to work in the forums, but everything else uses the built in IE. Responding via the phone now. I have a slide out keyboard, but find I prefer to use the touch screen keyboard since it does auto complete for me. The phone is setup just the way I want it and I haven't bothered to upgrade to the new windows verson. I'm read that there is a noticeable speed improvement, plus it cheaper than the iPhone plan.

Re: iPhone or Blackberry

my coworker has the big honker the iphone 3gS 32GB

it has video

he is able to load all kinds of music and movies on it

while he is traveling he is able to watch movies stored on his iphone on TV and a docking system or bluetooth stereo headphones provide music

the big one has video, voice control and a compass and is supposed to be 2X faster

now finding an unlocked one - i've seen some but they are not cheap - probably more than getting a call plan from ATT and getting the discounted phone

there is an international plan for iPhone

Re: iPhone or Blackberry

International data roaming can get expensive quickly.

For example, opening an email with a 5 megapixel picture in it, or downloading a 3-minute video on YouTube, each takes about 2 MB of data. The cost would be almost $40, based on pay-per-use international data rates of $0.0195/KB.


What can you do to minimize your international data charges?


Turn Data Roaming "OFF": By default, this setting for international data roaming will be in the "OFF" position.
To turn data roaming "ON/OFF", tap on Settings>General>Network>Data Roaming
– Turning "OFF" data roaming blocks email, browsing, and downloads, but it will not block text or picture/video messages.
– When abroad, international roaming rates apply when you send text or picture/video messages.
Utilize Wi-Fi instead of 3G/GPRS/EDGE: Wi-Fi is available in many international airports, hotels and restaurants to browse the Web or check email.
Turn Fetch New Data “OFF”: Check email and sync contacts and calendars manually instead of having the data pushed to your iPhone automatically. This way you can control the flow of data coming to your iPhone.
To turn off the Auto-Check functionality tap on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data, Change Push to “OFF” and Select to Fetch Manually



Consider Purchasing an International Data Package: If you are traveling outside the U.S., purchasing a Data Global Plan will significantly reduce the cost of using data abroad.
To add an international data package call 1-800-331-0500.
$24.99/month: 20 MB Data Global Add-On gives you 20 MB of usage within over 90 countries
$59.99/month: 50 MB Data Global Add-On gives you 50 MB of usage within over 90 countries
$119.99/month: 100 MB Data Global Add-On gives you 100 MB of usage within over 90 countries
$199.99/month: 200 MB Data Global Add-On gives you 200 MB of usage within over 90 countries

If you want to store movies then the 32GB is nice.

3Gs will get you a few added features over 3G, the most noticeable being the ability to shoot and edit video and a faster processor as well.

Re: iPhone or Blackberry

Mi affi find out how much dem charge for international data package here. Since internet is about 3 times more than US here, then I'd imagine phone plan for data is too.

Re: iPhone or Blackberry

It's Windows Mobile. Basically a mobile version of windows. There is a forum called xda-developers where there are some smart people that develop stuff for these phones. I'm using some of the utilities, but I have not cooked up a new ROM. Can't be bothered but I know how to do it if needed. Cooking up a ROM basically changes what is loaded on the phone when it boots. The iPhone version is jailbreaking. Seems apple have a problem with people doing that and kill the iPhones. I just have issues with being locked in Apple way of doing things. At the time I bought my phone, the 3GSs wasn't out and couldn't do cut 'n paste. I mean that was just stupid. Love using the Bing (used to be live search) maps and google maps with the built in GPS. I no longer use the laptop for maps. My contract up in Feb '10. Seems the HTC phones taking over the market share. Motorola have some new WinMobile phones coming out, but don't think they can re-capture the market yet.
