Microsoft Pocket PC Mobile Phone

Who knows about these little jobies?

In the last 24 hours I have discovered these little devices but have not received feedback from the companies whom I have contacted. Obviously I am keen on getting one it will need to have two must have features:

Pocket Excel "The spreadsheet application"

The smallest, I would certainly wont one which was smaller than say a Palm PDA.

Just how cheaply can I get one of these on a contract, I eagerly await your responses.

Hi Tony

i am also in the market so ..i have done some research
for me the key selling factor was teh ability to have wireless lan & bluetooth & a phone all in one , so basically i am using my friends (M2000 Orange)(XDAIIis on O2) to walk round the house & browse the internet , check my mail do stuff on excell etc ect

the bluetooth i will be using inconjuction with a bluetooth gps device in my car so i have a GPS system too.

i even use it as a mini tv .watching movies on it


i am hoping to get mine as a contract upgrade in 2 months from Orange ( fingers crossed)

but as for best price on contract check

Hi,

Have a look at the following sites.

and

I am not really up todate on Smartphones, but I am sure you will find what you are after at one of these shops

Best regards

Thanks for the replies, one of the companies was e2save but I could find definative answers as to whether or not Pocket Excel was installed. What sort of size is the M2000?

I will look at the other links now.

Thanks again

Tony_H,

All Microsoft PocketPC Phones have Excel, Word & Internet Explorer preinstalled.

The M2000, XDA IIs and the TMobile MDA III are all made in the same factory, they just have specific branding and add-on software.

The dimensions are here:

I own an O2 XDA IIs, I think it's great. I use it for Sat Nav, Movies, MP3's, Timesheets, Expenses, Email, Internet Browsing. Oh and as a Mobile!

I've found this one on T-Mobile it's apparently the smaller version. Click Here I was thinking of getting it on the Relax 200 (12 Month Contract) £32.00/month & then switching to the Relax 100 (12 Month Contract) £23.00/month as the cost of the phone is FREE on the first contract.

Q1. Is this the phone I want with Pocket Excel on it?

Q2. Will I be able to switch from Relax 200 to Relax 100, would it be that simple?

Cost of phone would be £285, that's 1 @ £32.00 & 11 @ £23.00 or am I loosing the plot a little.
