What to replace a Motorola v100 with?

jnm21

Can anyone give me any advice - my little blue mot. v100 (AKA communicator and vBox IIRC) is getting too old. It has been my main phone since April 2001 (one new then & an ebay replacement since, when the screen went wonky).

I have been considering:

o2 XDA mini S (AKA: i-mate K-JAM, Qtek 9100, T-Mobile MDA Vario, Orange SPV M3000)
O2 XDA Exec (AKA: i-mate JASJAR, Orange SPV M5000, T-Mobile MDA Pro, Qtek 9000 and Vodafone VPA IV)
Nokia 9300i
Nokia 9500

So the question is, any experience of any of them anyone? Any other options with qwerty keypad?

Thanks in advance.

I like the look of the Vario II which will be out soon-ish on t-mobile. 3G capability and if you sign up for their webnwalk facility you can have unlimited 'broadband' quality mobile internet (not walled garden access).

Thanks, but I must say that the Vario is slipping from favour - the shape of the others is more appealing - the v100 is a flip as opposed to slide phone.

The MDA pro, with co-pilot, is tempting, as is getting it free, but the £60+ per month price for flext75+W&W is a bit of a killer!

Ok, new question: is the co-pilot any good & is it worth £150?
