thanks for the reply

Does anybody know anything about the HTC Universal/O2 XDA exec? It's specs says it has a processor comparable to newer cell phones. Ebay has them for $350 and it comes with a TomTom satellite receiver
skip the Universal it- it's four years old now

I'd consider one of the newer ATT netbooks if screen size is a pressing issue and you still want some sort of subsidized device w/ wifi. You could also look at the ATT Fuze, I believe it's $249 w/ a VGA screen/wifi/etc.

The phones which you are talking about are sure gtreat but If you are with AT&T and you are looking for phone which is best for your office work, then I really think that you should go with the Nokia E series.
There are some very amazing phones in the Nokia E series family, my favorite one is the Nokia E51. I lpove that phone firstly because its really cheap & secondly because internet in that phone is really fast.
Take a look in ExoticPhone, their prices are way better & they sell Original OEM only.
Anyways since you have a budget of $400.00 then let me give you a suggestion, go with the E71, it comes in two amazing colors, grey steel & white steel. Choose any one.

by birdmantd - 4/29/09 2:00 PM In reply to: Go with Nokia by sherlockabruceI only mention the 8525 and 8925 because even though they are discontinued, they can probably bought on the cheap and seem to meet the OP's needs.
8925 still not cheap
by Pepe7 - 4/30/09 12:48 PM In reply to: phones by birdmantdYMMV. I've still seen them listed for $300-400. It's still a relatively powerful phone (just not an iPhone). Not sure it's worth bothering for the 8525. There's going to be a trade off going too many successive models back just to save $50.

1. They have had a bad history here at this form a few years ago.
2. Member sherlockabruce already had many post deleted in which he recommended them; that's considered spam here at that isn't allowed.
3. Bad rating at http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ExoticPhone_GSM_International_Inc
4. Very different opinions in http://www.resellerratings.com/forum/merchant-discussion-shopping-advice/123691-watch-out-***************-they-perfect-scam-artist.html for example.
You can hardly call them a reputable company. I wouldn't take the risk.

The form software starred out the link.
