Of these four, which would you get?

I'm in the USA and my trusty T616 with an original AT&T Wireless SIM is starting to act up. I'm thinking about going with a converged device and retiring my X50V PDA as well. I've concluded that I want to keep a VGA device and I'll stay with AT&T/Cingular/AT&T.

So, what I've found that looks promising are these:

E-Ten Glo-Fish X800
I-Mate Ultimate 5150
I-Mate Ultimate 6150
HTC Polaris

I am aware that they are not yet available, and that I will need to obtain an unlocked device, and that I will probably need to get a new SIM, too.

Of those, which would you recommend, and why?

Unless you are a true cell phone techie, I wouldn't get any of them as you would get no tech support whatsoever if something didn't work.

I am a firm believer is sticking with a device that my carrier has and supports.

I will get a new and functional cell phone with a new SIM from the carrier, and I am OK with not having tech support from the carrier for the PDA/Phone I will be using with the SIM.

Your gona have to wait for all those four to launch to make a decision. Personally, I'm a fan of HTC, so I'd lean towards Polaris. It looks like my present HTC Artemis and personally, I love it. However, I-mates are prolly going to launch the first outa those four.

Well, I'm not seeing anything happening with any of these, which is disappointing to say the least. However, I did see that the HTC Kaiser may be on AT&T in August as the 8925. Might have to go that route as my T616 is really starting to annoy me - it reboots all the time right in the middle of a call.

You cant go wrong with the Kaiser as well, plus it's got QWERTY which isnt on the Polaris. The hardware specs are almost the same as well.

Looks like the 8925 may not get to AT&T before September at the earliest.

I might have to hope for something like This in the meantime.
