I used to have Nokia phones for years..and I also used to run a Palm 5..but last year I made the leap to combine all in one and get a phone capable PDA..
It took me a LONG time to choose a make and a brand that had all the features i was looking for..
I settled on the Qtek 9090 (some of you may know it as somethign else cos its sold by Orange as an MDA 3 or T-Mobile as somethign else) and boy I havnt looked back since!!
This phone is STUNNING...it looks amazing...and soo many features packed into it!
Theres a great review and lots of pictures of the phone here...
Qtek 9090 reviewI have to use the train for about 2 hours each day and I just love the fact that I have a 2gig datacard in the phone!! I used to have a nokia mp3 phone and had to change the bitrate of lots of mp3s all the time cos of lack of storage space inside the Nokia...now I can have LOTS of mp3s that I just drag and drop to the phone wihout conversion so they are all 320kps

)
Also I watch a lot of TV programs on the train on the way to work..I am a Brit living in teh Netherlands and miss a lot of comedy shows etc from the UK so I joined a UK TV torrent site (yes its legal!!) so i can download series and copy them to the phone and watch them with a free Divx.xvid.mpeg.avi player that ive installed on the phone..it was a bit odd to get used to watchign something on the small screen...but i can switch to landscape mode on the phone and the display resizes into 16-9 format

)
I also make good use of the Wifi function of the phone...Im shocked at how many open Weps there are around

I have an app that when the wifi is turned on it scans them and buzes in my pocket that its found one thats open and that it can connect to..I use Avantgo go which is an offline webbroweser..you connect and then download pages and then can view them offine later..I read the Times the Guardian and the BBC news and sports websites on the train also.
The phone also has a great qwerty kb that slides out the back..i rarely use it apart from showing it off!! cos it lights up all blue when its opened

))
The only down side ive found with the phone is the camera..I have a really good digital camera anyway so I dont have use it often..but when I have used it..its not very good esp in the dark..and its normally in a bar or a club when ive tried to use it ;((
SO take a look at it..i know that it might be to expensive of big for most people..but the functions it has coupled with thousands of free apps that you can get to do jsut about anything on it with..makes it a winner for me!!
