    with wifi? absolutely none then unless you consider the blackberry things (i dont know if they do or not) or a magician/wizard with an add on card. Samsung are releasing a hard disk version of the little flippy one they do, and the w900i has a rather large storage capacity IIRC

    Theres a new SPV C550 style phone coming out with wifi, and since Windows Mobile devices already have Skype, Opera, etc available to download and install on them, it could be used really well

    In addition to the N91, Nokia are bringing out a whole range of smartphones with WiFi:

    E60
    E61
    E70

    All have 802.11g WiFi, VOIP, Blackberry/MS Exchange push e-mail and high resolution screens. They're more aimed at the business market though and only the E70 has a camera (though it is 2MP). They're due Q1 06.

    ive looked at the E series and the block style one, looks good, but doesnt have a camera, not a biggy, but i dont like the fact it doesnt have one, despite me hardly using them.

    i have a c500 and 550 which i bought last week for testing purposes, both are on WM5 at the minute and both are really crap and slow!

    the c500 now resides as my tomtom and the c550 well that does pig all at the minute. i doubt ill ever be interested in another windows mobile phone.

    looks like my next phone will have more chance of being wifi enabled, rather than this time round.

    the e60 is still a whole CM taller than the 6230 aswell.

    maybe im gonna have to lump it and go for a 6230i......................

    There's been a few complaints about the keyboard being under the screen and attached to the main body of the phone, but apart from that I haven't heard any real complaints.

    From what I've seen it's an excellent upgrade on the P910, delivering the first high quality camera to feature on a PDA, 3G, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, RDS radio, push e-mail, more RAM and a very good suite of software, including Opera 8.

    Personally, I like the keyboard on it anyway. It's backlit and has a nice tactile feel. I guess I'm just weird though.
