hey everyone...i am goin' to get a PDA phone soon...i was more interested in the p910...however, saw the e680 a few days ago and kindda like it too...
so can anyone suggest me which one is better to get?

Hi. I have E680 and P900. I love E680. I really do. You can connect it to the computer usb port and u can charge from it, transfer the files or you can even use as a usb flash storage drive. There is a SD memory card slot. Not a small one but actual SD card size but it's also have adaptor for SD small card. It has driver CD so you can use it as a modem.It has camera with zoom. That's the upside. Downside...it doesn't have a lot of softwares. Very very rare.For internet, it can only use for wap. You have to buy a software if you wanna browse html. Really bad battery life. Other than that...very good phone indeed.

I believe P900 and P910 is almost indentical except memory limit, screen, bluetooth profile, keyboard, ...etc. But all the layout and functions are similar. I can tell you about P900. It's a good phone too. You can browse html internet right out of the box. You can use the phone in two different style...with keypad or without. It has better accessories. A lot of good softwares if you don't mind to pay for those. Strong battery life. Those are upside. Downside...no usb charging without installing software. So to transfer the file, you might have some extra work. Not like E680. Tiny internal memory. Expensive.

So...if I have a choice, I will go with P910 over E680 because it is stronger pda smart phone than E680. If your budget is low...go with E680. You won't regret it. Or else...P910 all the way.

That's for sure. Since Symbian os is better than Linux os right now. I haven't tried the A1000 yet but I am sure it is really good phone. Some people don't like it though coz they say the interface is not as easy as SE but that's their opinion. I don't know what bandwidth used in Canada but it will definately work in US except for 3G(only works in some place)

Then it should work fine I believe. There is P910a and P910i. I dont know which one supports 850. I think its P910i.

Opps. I can't help you there. Since I don't have either a1000 or p910. So I will leave this to someone who has experienced with them. I know there is some people who have tried both phone. Sorry I can't help.

i can't get a quote for the A925...but i think i can get an a1000 for $860CDN ($688US), again...the budget shouldn't be a problem for me yet. of course $1000CDN ($800US) is my cap, but i guess they won't go over my cap rite?

do you know anything about the a-gps function??

For a-gps have a look at www.umtslink.at! 860 CDN is much money!

Have a look at ebay United Kingdom or in Germany! There you can get an A925
