...is a fabulous piece of kit. Been using it all morning at Bluewater to
browse the excellent BBC site and sent e-mails, though the GPRS was
rather ropey there.

Oh, and the PDA is going for more than I expected on eBay... next will be
the T68i... :-)

I wouldn't consider any other type of phone at this time..I'm more
than happy with mine.

The PDA part of my Ipaq is rather redundant with the SPV...I use it
for SatNav almost exclusively...

Very nice build quality too - probably the best I've had in a mobile
phone, except for perhaps the Siemens S25 I had.

I wasn't doing a huge amount on the PDA - e-mail, a bit of web stuff.
Found it too bulky and input too klunky though. The SPV (in the smart
horizontal leather case I bought for it) is great now that I'm getting
used to the keystrokes.

iPaq: a palmtop computer from HP (formerly Compaq)
SPV: a smartphone based on a Microsoft operating system
SatNav: Satellite Navigation - and probably a lot cheaper than units
built into cars...

The voice recording on the SPV is handy when I'm out with a
camera...helps me to remember the locations of the pics...

I know it's nor unique...but it's useful...although when I bought my
camera the other day [1]I got a Nikon free gift voucher for £250.00 so
I'll be getting the bolt on battery pack for it...this has a voice
recording function that attaches notes to the files.

Footnote:
[1] Geordie will reprimand me for showing off ;-))

Ooh... I was thinking of a hotshoe flash, but the pop-up flash on the
S602 is pretty powerful for its size, so that can hold off for a while...

I live in the fens...all landscape shots look the same. That's why I
need to remind myself of where I took each shot... ;-))

I will have to get a new flash gun for it (a Speedlight in Nikon
speak) as I'm used to powerful guns and my old Nikon SB24 will only
work on manual with the D100... :(

If it all looks the same, one photo will suffice! :-)

A 360° panorama would be good...identical all the way round :-)
