I have an iPaq 1910 and a P800, but I am leaning towards getting a 2210 and a T68i or maybe S55.

Question is, how much would a T68i owner offer me on top of the phone for my 3 month old P800 locked to Orange?

BTW, am in the UK.

Am only thinking about this by the way, seems silly carrying something the size of the P800 and the iPaq, and I don't use the PDA functions on the P800 at all.

And why don't you use the PDA functions of P800?

Because I like the PPC pda functions more, the calendar is far more powerful, and it's just habit, I have been using pda's for many years now, and the P800 has a little way to go before it's a serious contender for business PDA use, unless all you need is basic notes, contacts, and calendar functions. Plus, no real Word or Excel integration yet.

As a multimedia phone, it's fantastic, and I use the camera quite a bit, but only for fun, nothing that I would really miss.

I was under the impression that the P800 managed Office/.PDF files as equally as well as a PDA, like an IPAQ.

I wasb gonna get a PDA to complement my T68i, but gave the T68i to the missus and went for the P800 option. Lovin' it so far....

You can view Office files, and with software like Repligo, you can view them even better, but you can't create a Word doc and email it to someone for example, which I do on my PPC.

You can't use Excel and create expenses sheets and email them off.

You can't manage time/resources in the calendar.

As I say, it's only the serious side of PDA use it lacks, but I still think I would be happier with a T68i and a higher spec PPC, than struggling between two devices.

I mean, a P800 goes for £300 minimum, and a T68i goes for £100 max, so a T68i and £200 should be more than fair, provided the thing is still under warranry and is in good condition.

Then I sell my 1910, would only need about £170 (it's only 6 weeks old) which should be easy enough, and I get a 2210.

Then I have bluetooth connection to the T68i for GPRS use, and I have a far more powerful set-up, and also means I can go out with a small phone if I don't need a PDA.

I am talking myself into this more and more

I live in Birmingham if anyone local want's to do this!

Doh! Yeah, forgot the PDA version of Office; what griped me with this though was that it would 'kill' the formatting/pics of fancy Office files - i.e. the PDA with Word is not the same as a PC with Word (no surprises there really!), and this was enough to put me off. Secondly, I'm a 'light' PDA user, so the P800 does it all for me...

Strangely, since I gave the T68i to the wife, I'm more impressed by it than ever!

Good luck!

I don't need much more than basic formatting in my docs, they are all fairly basic, but the ability to make them is a must for me
