Advice needed on which phone.....

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Ron,

I have the Samsung i600. It does all that you've listed but there's a
price. AND, although I like my i600 and I'm glad I bought it, Smartphone
2002 has its first version problems. In case you don't know Smartphone is
Microsoft's Pocket PC OS for cell phones.

BTW, I'm also in the DC area and switched from ATT to Verizon about 4 months
ago. Verizons coverage is by far the best in the area IMO.

Yes, I looked at the i600 and I like what it offered. I also looked
at all the complaints that people were having with the OS. Any idea
when MS releases 2003 phone OS? Will it be a free upgrade for the
folks who paid for 2002?

Thanks for your input.

Ron
