Opinions on the best Windows mobile PPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Has anyone had the luxury of trying out the following UK Pocket PC
cellular/mobile phones and come to a conclusion on the unit of choice?

O2 XDA IIs (I believe that this is the same same unit as the i-mate PDA2K,
the T-mobile MDA III and the UK Orange SPV M2000)
i-mate JAM
Any others? I've heard that T-mobile is releasing the all singing-all
dancing MDA IV in Europe this Summer. Looks a neat device!

A second question - does anyone in Europe sell an add - on card for the PPC
which can turn a PPC into a cellular/mobile which is unlocked and will
accept an existing service provider SIM card?

Thanks

Peter

I went to a TMobile shop in February, expecting to come out with an MDAIII
for the built in keyboard. Instead I bought an MDA Compact (same as the
iMate JAM) because of its small size and superb bright pinsharp screen. In
use I also appreciate the sound, much louder than my old XDA1. If you
either don't need WiFi, or (like me) are content to use it from an SDIO
card, then it's worth a look.

Second question I don't follow. Why do you want an add-on card? Just buy a
phone edition device and get it unlocked.
