It's fast in operation, comfortable to use. As a PIM device as well as Alarm Clock, eBook Reader, Navigation System, and Messaging tool it has performed superbly. If I was issuing awards it'd have to be given the title of Best Xda yet!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20071126-4winmobile_o2stellar.jpg" /><br /><br />If you hadn't yet had your fill of Kaiser reviews, O2's iteration of the Kaiser has enough quirks that make this review worth a look. Among the differences - an enhanced wired headset, a slightly different software suite (no HTC Home, you get O2 stuff instead), and SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup come <i>gratis</i>.

Further, do ANY other vendors provide such a model?

Today, many companies do not allow camera-enabled phones on campus, so this is becoming a big problem.

I'm referring to all-inclusive PDAs, of course: PDA + phone +WIFI + BT+GPS...

AFAIK, currently only the HP Ipaq HW69XX and the AT&amp;T Tilt 8900 conform to this.

a) A quick tap with hammer and nail, any offending littfe camera lens is completely disabled. Cover with a blob of epoxy for a smooth finish.

b) A generous blob of nail polish; same result. Use a bright colour to make it completely obvious.

c) Use an older model without all the bells and whistles. Many are great devices, without cameras, and in great condition for a bargain price.

I work in a place that does not allow any cameras, even ones with nail polish on top...

Basically I'm after a pda-phone that has it all except a camera (I currently have an HW6910).

Afaik the only other PDA to have this functionality (and without a camera) is the Tilt 8900.

SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup come gratis.
They came with my HTC-branded TyTN II as well. So what's the difference? :roll:

AFAIK, they're not part of the package here in Asia - nor are these apps included with other carrier-branded versions.

Finally some advantage of living in Europe. :-) Except for that over-price I paid for it :?
