window's phone

where the hell do you get them havn't seen them in any of the local phone shop's i don't like the iphone's or blackberries so this look's awesome too me if anyone's got one and what network you can get them on it'd be helpfull.

normaly they are made by a company called HTC, rebranded as iMate but all phone companies in the UK usualy brand it as their own models. Note that HTC also makes the current T-Mobile & Vodaphone "google" android phones

Other manufs make them, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, HP and a few others

ie.

T-Mobile MDA
O2 XDA
Voda vxxxx
Orange Mxxxx

etc....

They've been around for years mate.

Orange had them for years now, started off branding them as 'SPV' models but now they are under the name of the company that actually makes them, HTC.

O2 been using them and Vodafone too but not sure what they name them.

Phone shops should do them or try ebay.

I like the look of the new samsung omina 2, but ive been looking some have windows 7.5 and some have a basic operating system.

I have a HTC touch diamond, quite like it, dont use many of the features but my contract runs out soon and im gunna get that simplicity with unlimited web so i can use the internet, messanger and email features on it

they any good i really really really don't want an iphone or a blackberry i'll be laughed at.

I've had them since 2002, I have a Touch Diamond at the minute but this is the worst one I've had yet.

It unlocks itself all the time and rings/texts people and the battery life is far from great if you use the functions on the phone. Apart from that I love it.

One thing to get used to though is having to turn it off a couple times a day sometimes and every other month I do a hard reset to restore to factory settings or they just run really slow and stop responding but that's to be expected of anything Microsoft. Every one I have had does this but despite all of the above I have not gone back to the average Nokia /Samsung etc

I'm considering getting the Iphone when Orange release it as nearly up for a replacment but we'll see

I have no problems with mine yet, a couple of times ive switched it on and held down a volume button by mistake and it comes up with a Blue/Red/Green screen and i have to take the battery out but thats my fault and touch wood its been fine so far as has my Dads HTC, dunno which one he has tho

I am awaiting the Nokia N900 to be released next month. More a mini computer than a smartphone and is pretty powerful. Running a new operating systen based on linux and Nokia gave out 100's of the phones to hackers and software developers so there will be plenty of software soon both free and pay. The phone suits my needs perfectly but wont suits everyones of course as like many things it is not perfect

Looks a real good phone if you run the internet as it can view large size web pages no problem, web browsing and multi tasking are 2 of its big strengths. take a look
