Pocket PC Phone Advice PLEASE!
Before Pocket Pc phones, I had a Pocket PC, (Casio E-105, then an Axim X-5) and a separate Cell phone.
Wanting mobile Internet, and less pocket items, I went to T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone
I had a plan with them for years with 250 Minutes, $29.95/month, and added WAP for $20.
I've been a T-mobile customer, and had 2 different PocketPC phones with them. The old one, and the current one HP6315.
The Ipaq 6315 has just been a nightmare. Lousy phone, (Almost NEVER answers-always get "Unable to answer the call")
Add to that horrible speed performance on the Phone's Processor, and just REALLY bad internet speed, if at all.
I would NOT recommend it.
I'm at the point now where I want to move on. Verizon, for reasons of family and friend phone connections is a strong pull. But I'm not impressed with their prices.
After paying $50/month for Phone and internet, I'm loath to change, as I'm told I can never go back to the plan once I leave.
My requirements are:
Must have windows media player (For professional reasons)
I'd like reasonable net access, not limited Vcast/sidekick style access.
I want REAL internet access, not filtered/limited.
Phone "Features" can be limited. I'd like Blue tooth and Wi fi if possible.
It just sucks that basic phone & net from Verizon starts at $80/month.
(After being spoiled with a $50/month bill for years, for, admittedly, crappy service)
Should I (and how would I) get a small blue tooth phone, and a blue tooth card for My Axim, and do some kind of dial-up internet on the cell phone with web browsing from the axim? (Or other Pocket PC?)
Help or advice please!
