1. QWERTY Keyboard
2. Windows OS

Windows OS since (a) have been using it for 3 years and am comfortable with it; and (b) like to keep my Contact List neatly categorized and in sync with my Outlook Address Book.

As of now I have shortlisted the following in order of preference ..

1. HTC TyTn II
2. HTC P4350

I have not seen these in person but people have told me that the TyTn is bulky .. is it true?

If any other OS (Symbian etc.) permits seamless integration with Windows Vista, I could look at them.
- How is the Communicator?
- I have heard Nokia has come out with a phone on Windows OS, true?

Please help me decide by the weekend !! .. Thanks

Manveet, if I were you, I would go for the TyTn II without a blink. The TyYn II is not bulky. You can cat a review here: Mobile-review.com Review of QWERTY-communicator HTC TyTN II

You will also get an idea of the size and will be in a better position to decide.

Thanks Sumit. Thanks for the suggestion on using MGMaps.

Thanks a ton for the Link. It was very informative and frankly speaking is giving me serious second thoughts regarding its suitability. Firstly, the keyboard doesn't seem too typing-friendly. Secondly, the size seems a tad larger than what I would like.

Can you please share a link for a similarly comprehensive Review of the Nokia E90 Black Edition.

Edit: Just had a look at a few pictures of the Black E90 0 very classy. Is it available in NCR and if yes, at what price point?

Best is to check with a mobile store what they will give for it if you want another phone in exchange. Multiply that by 1.3. It is very difficult to put a price on an old set otherwise, unlike for cars.

Sorry the reviews for the E90 Black Edition is not out yet on any of the regular sites. However, I found several reviews for the older E90.

Nokia E90 review: Heavyweight champion - GSMArena.com

YouTube - Nokia E90 Review

Nokia E90 Communicator - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
Nokia E90 Black Edition pictures Symbian World (E90 Black Edition Pictures)
Nokia E90 All-Black Edition Available - Theoretically at least - Softpedia (Overview of the Black edition)

The E90 Black Edition is a better buy as compared to the older E90 as the new version has a flat keyboard which will not touch the screen.

Regarding the bulk of the TyTn II, you really need to hold the phone in person and only then can you decide. No amount of photos and reviews will help you to get an actual feel of the phone.

For me the killer phone would be the E90 with windows mobile as the operating system. That would really be the ultimate.

I am looking for a new phone for my lady.

Basically, she wants:
- a sleek phone
- should not be slider
- should not be touchscreen
- should have basic features - a decent cam, music player, GPRS
- preferbly should be from nokia's stable

Budget is around 20 grands.

So far, we have shortlisted the following:
- the new Nokia N78 - has decent set of features, but is quite big/heavy
- Nokia E66 - has a slider

So you can see, we are not able to find a decent phone which can meet all her requirements. Please help.

A few quick calls are indicating that Black is ~35,700 best case here in Delhi. Same price for regular E90. I'd really appreciate if you could you please check again and let me know.

Seen them all, that's why I asked

Yes, that's a huge plus. Therefore I'm only considering the Black.

Manveet, have you tried the TyTn II in your hands? I say give it a shot and then decide! You can get a hands on review of the TyTn II on PPCSG - Pocket PC Singapore Community (Its a forum of PPC users in South East Asia).

Have you checked out Nokia 5610? Although it is slider but worth the money. Else E51 rocks

Check connection settings, and see if the correct settings are assigned for internet usage. Then do a soft reset and see. Sometimes installing Opera screws up default settings for PIE.
