cellphone with wifi / gps

I have to say having the slide-out keyboard has been very nice at times, but 90% of the time I need to type a short phrase I don't even bother to slide it out. Finger-typing on the Fuze screen works pretty well.

I believe I have heard that WinMo 7 is going to be built around multi-touch, so I wouldn't expect that the interface would work properly on phones without the proper hardware support. WinMo 6.5 is another story, though. There are 6.5-based ROMS available now and it isn't even released yet. Too buggy and too many compatability issues for me ATM, but there are a lot of people hacking away at it, so I expect I'll be upgrading before too long.

 

Actually my Chinese (China Unicom), English (Virgin), German (Orange?) and Spanish (?) SIMs all expired in similar fashion. Actually is was one month after last usage. Likewise GRRR.

UMTS 2100 also works in South Korea and I have to be there in the next month or so. Might have to borrow the wife's iPhone. I've been using a Centro since becoming disgusted with my 8525 (HTC) slider win mo phone that was always five letters behind my typing.

 

Ouch. When my guys come visit from China they used get AT&T (Cingular) cards and I've never heard this complaint. Now I just have extra phones on a shared minutes plan since it's so much cheaper.

 

I bought a payg phone 2 years ago it came with £2.50 credit ive never topped it up and have had zero credit for at least 18months and it still works

 

It's definitely convenient roaming on NTT or Softbank with all your contacts and notes handy. I agree that renting a phone and charging it up with minutes periodically is annoying, but next time I will probably use both.
