High End Smartphone

by cruggiero - 11/9/04 5:40 AM

Hello.

I'm interested in a high end smartphone and not sure what to get. I am looking for something small with all the bells/whistles.

Any recommendations?

I have used the Kyocera 7135 for 18 months now and have been happy with it. It is not perfect, but has eliminated the need to carry a PDA and phone. Read the reviews on product. Many, many people (20%-30%) had bad phones and sent them back due to fatal error crashes mutiple times per day. I initially had this and then flash upgraded. Fine after that. Had only one crash in last year. MP3 software sucks, as does the keypad. All other features are excellent. Highly recommend it.

I'd say the Treo 650 and the Sony Ericsson 910a are good candidates. They both offer a wide array of features (PDA capabilities, camera, Bluetooth and a keyboard to name a few) and won't create a huge bulge in your pocket. Another one is the Motorola MPx which is slated for release this summer (fingers crossed). It has everything the other two have, plus Wi-Fi and a cool dual-hinge design. Hope this helps.
