If you're gonna look at a device with crappy controls like that, I might as well mention this cool gadget I got today... Got a T-mobile MDA Vario, otherwise known as HTC Wizard, Qtek 9100, imate Kjam or orange M300.
This link points to a dutch website, but it's got lots of pictures to look at if you don't understand the language,
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_m...3///mda%2Cvario
It's a PDA and phone, 2.8" 320x240 screen, 200mhz omap cpu (which is probably its only downfall but I don't intend to run emulators on it so I don't care), miniSD slot, wlan, bluetooth, GSM (quad band), GPRS, edge, full keyboard. It's a lot more expensive, but you might be able to get it for a very good deal with a mobile subscription.
I got mine from T-Mobile (in the Netherlands) with a subscription for 24 months, paying 23 euros the first 12 months, and 31 euros the second 12 months (promotion for the first year), paying nothing for the PDA, and got a free bluetooth headset with it as well. The device also comes with a 512 MB mini SD card already. The subscription gives me 2.5 hours free calling a month, and unlimited internet through gprs or wlan hotspots (hello 24/7 msn
).
Music and videos run great on it, there's plenty of games available though I havent been able to try many yet (just got it today, and the ones most easy to find require payment). And yes, this forum is very easy to browse with it as well
(although I am on my pc right now).
edit: oh yeah, you can't really tell from the pics I guess, but this thing is tiny... not like other pocketpc's. check here:

Despite the size, I find typing is very easy and I don't have particularly small hands.
