I really wanted to like it, but I found the buttons too small and hard to
read, never mind actually using them!
Also have a m8 with one which is prone to crashing even more than normal MS
operating systems :(
I have an ericsson t39m at the moment, which just keeps going and the
battery lasts about a week.
I am reluctant to go to something that needs to be recharged pretty much
every day, though the current crop of colour blah blah phones all seem to
be
like that anyway.
I don't really want a camera on the damned thing, but it seems if you want
all the other features then a camera is almost compulsory....

The XDA is too PDA-sized for me as a phone, though is smaller than phone +
Ipaq.
I've ordered the P900 now anyway as I feel completely lost without a
calendar on the go - I know I have a lot of things happening next week, but
I've no idea what or where since the ipaq is gone :(
God knows when I last backed up the ipaq & sychronisation was only set
up
one way (due to bad past experience of 3 way sync resulting in one device
deciding "Oh, you just deleted all your contacts" and kindly
propagating
that to the other 2 :((), so need something quick and will have to do a
partial rebuild of calendar from a semi-reliable backup - SWMBO's calendar
stuck to the back of the fridge door :-/

Cheers,

Tony
