need help to choose smartphone for canadian carrier?

[ramirezmc]

I'm looking for a ROGERS compatible GSM smartphone (because Bell mobility and Telus use CDMA technology).
The current smartphones by ROGERS sucks and they are way behind europeen smartphone.

here what i want in order or priority

-good sound quality and reception
-mp3 player
-micro-sd or transflash slot
-media player with divx compatible
-camera
-easy synchronization with Outlook
-FM radio
-WIFI 802.11b/g
-no clamshell form factor.
-fit in my pants pocket. i don't want to show off my big smartphone on my beltclip.
-around 500$CAD

i'm hesitating between Symbian OS and Windows mobile

I know that the nokia n80 is good bet but it's a symbian OS. I don't know much about symbian compatibility and software library. (I was a palm user)

Do you have other suggestion on other smartphone?


thanks

Well, you're not going to find a WinMo device with FM Radio builtin or with builtin support for divx, but you can add a third party media player that supports it.

There's lot of devices that meet the rest of your requirements. Basically, you can get any WinMo quad-band GSM device. You can use a tri-band device, but the reception isn't as good.

Check out what Expansys.ca has to offer for Windows mobile phones. That might help you narrow things down a litle.
