Best cellular phone

The P800 is not cheap - and the forthcoming Siemens X1 is not yet
available. They are both smartphones with the outstanding Symbian OS -
like the Nokia 3650 and its predecessor, the 7650.
The T68i is known for its excellent bluetooth connectivity but
out-of-date.

True the P800 is not cheap but perhaps when compared to a PDA and a GSM cell
phone the price is somewhat competitive. That's why I stated that the P800
is more phone than I need right now.

With respect to the T68i, if by out-of-date you mean that it is no longer
offered by the cellular vendors then you may be correct. I just don't know
because I haven't checked to see if you can still get them. They are good
little phones and may be perfect for what Larry wants, hence the reason I
asked what he wanted to do with the phone.

Cheers

I couldn't agree more. Of course there are down sides to having separate
devices as well. Designing a home audio system with separate components will
allow you to maximize the performance of the entire system as well as allow
for technology upgrades as they come, one component at a time. On the other
hand if you want to take your music down to the beach an all-in-one boom box
is a much better choice.

The big problem I see with technology and gadgets is that we tend to
postphone purchasing them since we know that it is technically possible to
build a device with all the features we want. Since no one is building the
perfect device we wait for several months until one day the device we wanted
some months ago is now being built. But since we waited all that time there
are new features that we want included into our perfect device. Since no one
is building our perfect device with the new features in it, we wait. And so
on.... Of course one of the main features of our perfect device is that is
has to be entirely upgradable to the next generation technology but of
course no one knows for certain what that is so they never quite manage to
build our perfect device with perfect upgradability and so.....we
wait.....LOL

And so perhaps the real answer to Larry's question (remember Larry, the guy
that started this thread? lol) is that there is no "best" cellular phone
since whatever you buy today will NOT be the best phone next week so maybe
it's better to wait.......
