I'll be getting the Ipaq myself. Like that one better.
And I can get the BT headset/audio profile installed on this, hehe
Ipaq is 206 mhz processor and sd-card slot.
But yes,..I'll write some comments, when I test the LOOX too
This does have bluetooth headset/audio profile, and also OBEX (transferring e.g. pictures, melodies to e.g. T68).
400 mhz processor,..both cf-card and sd-card slots.
LOOX will be cheaper than IPAQ H3870,..according to Fujitsu Siemens themselves.
I think it all comes down to, what You really like most,..mainly the design and the name. I ordered the Ipaq. I could choose freely,..and I like the Ipaq more.
Besides the differences mentioned above,..they are alike,..uses Pocket Pc 2002 both,..both have bluetooth, about the same size and so on.
Ipaq works great with e.g. T68m/i.
You can get quite a lot of very nice accessories for the Ipaq, both original and non-original......I dont know if this will happen with the LOOX too,..but it probably will.
Shawn > You're right,..I did write about the Ipaq in another topic too
I'll be testing another one too very soon (pocket pc 2002 machine also),..and its a very new one

How far away are the Ipaq 3970 models? That way you get the nice Ipaq quality, and the 400Mhz processor... no doubt you'll have to pay for the privilege though...

I like the P800 better. I saw one in the new Vodafone shop in Watford the other day. The very nice looking young lady let me have a play around with it.

How do you dial with that? Press in numbers on the touch-screen?
I prefer P800 with the removable number-pad.

My comments on this topic are this.
This came to me whilst talking to a friend. I was saying how I needed a new phone after selling my t68 last december in anticipation of the t68i design. (Same software when updated, I know).
Also at this time I was planning to by my first computer. We were talking about the features of what the t68 can do and what a computer can do. And then it dawn on me that, over the past 8 years since Ive been an avid mobile phone freak, I have been looking for a phone that has computer features.
I belive so much in wireless that Id bet money on it.
Mobile or Landline?
Laptop or computer?
We all know we love mobility. We want to do want we want, when we want.
Then comes practibility.
Laptop or PDA?
Big Mobile or Small?
We all Love smal, compact, neat even cute things. But we all also love that power that the big devices do.
So we have to think here, What is best for me?
For me I have decided that my mobile is just for talking, texting and conectivity. (ocasional Waping.)
I.e T39.
Pros,
Small, robust, E-mail client, conectivity.
Cons,
Visability.
Now we all love visability and design. thats why we love the 9210 & the t68 for there colour screen and nice design. (Thats how life is made up of, colour & design.)
So as we yern for more features and colour screens. We start to enter the teritory of the Computer. (Pc, Mac, unbiased term.) As this is where ther comes conflict as we try to cram all the features of a computer into a phone.
So with this in mind we look at the mobile computer,
Laptop or pda?
For me I choose the pda. Reasons being, nice screen for wap & web browsing (more visual). E-mail (more visual, attachments.). Contacts (more visual, Photo's.). Office. (spread sheets, Visual dependant. Word etc.)
You can not get theese things from your mobile satisfacturily.
So get something that can!
Foe me Im looking at not to distant products like the,
Fujitsu Siemens LOOX
or
Compag Ipaq 3970.
Both with the new Xscale 400mhz processor. More than enough power for on the road communications and office.
(But I did consider the P800 before I came to terms with my relisation.)
The thing that has been need for the marriage of the to things was Bluetooth. Now that it is here, I feel that we should concentrate more what we use use device for.
I have to end this note which has ended up to be an article. I hope that this benefits anybody who reads this.
I would apreciate if you could emial me your coments.
Thankyou.
I belive very much in wireless.
