I purchased the P51 in Toronto off of Ebay for $660CAD

I can't think of another phone that I'd rather have consdering my requirements are: 320x230 screen, WM5.0 or higher, keyboard always accessable, sd slot, gps, wifi.

PROS:
-Always accessable keyboard, unlike that of the HTC's and other slide out style phones.
-GPS and 802.11g wifi built in. Most PDA phones only have one of the two.
-you can use SD cards. Most phones use micro on mini-sd.
-320x240 screen. All other candybar style WM5 phones with accessible keyboard have a square screen which limits pocket pc application capability.
-WM5.0 built in
-Rare, no one has it so people will always ask you about your phone

CONS:
-camera is not great. I just upgraded from a P50 to P51, the camera is the same in both.
-battery life is so-so, however a big improvement over the P50
-there will probably never be a WM6.0 rom
-no 3G (who cares, i dont want to be tracked anyway)

With all of these factors considered, if your requirements are similar to mine. This is the ONLY phone for you.

Happy shopping, and good luck finding this phone. I even had my friends in Shanghai and Bangkok looking for me and they couldn't find it.
