Should I get a P9x0(i) or an A1000?

When I would connect with my pc (via my kingston bt dongle which is one of the best you can get), During transfers the status would get stuck at lets say 49% and stick for about 2 mins. Just long enough for me to almost give up, then i'd see it transferring again. No problems though with my bt headset. Perfect. One other thing i should point out is when transferring from the memory stick to phone's internal memory, the phone would shut off at times. I hear theres an upgraded firmware you can get to fix these bugs, but I sold my p910 before hearing about that.

it was the p910i I had btw, and i was using it on Rogers 850 :S

I'd probably use the cable to connect it to the PC, just 'cuz it's faster I suppose...



Interesting...I hope that isn't the case with my phone...Where did you hear about the upgrade? And where would I go to get it? Who makes the upgrades?

Thanks

Anyone else wanna comment?

Depends on what your definition of slow is. In comparison with my Palm products (LifeDrive and Treo 650), its about the same. Just synching with Bluetooth is a pain.

The USB port on the SE mimics the speeds of a serial port, the transfer speed is 115K (roughly EDGE or 1xRTT wireless speeds). The Treo uses realy USB2.0 speeds.
