HTC S620 or DASH

This phone is very good. Keeps every call clear and signal strong all over. Not to many flaws, everything is a plus. I have the Pearl and Dash, prefer the Dash. You dont even know its in your hand or in your pocket its that light.

Update to my previous comments...

I got WiFi working without any problems by fiddling with the power settings. I basically turned off all the power saving features so WiFi stays connected unless I turn it off manually.

Though Skype won't install I found a similar product called Woize that installs and works, though it's buggy. It's still in beta testing so that's to be expected.

I also found a java based SSH client that works (though it also has some problems) called MidpSSH.

All in all I'm having a great time playing with this smartphone. I expect that as Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones grow in popularity there will be more applications ported to them.

u cannot use skype becuz phone operators are blocking voip transfers under their networks becuz its just too cheap comparing to they taxes its a crime against our rights.

I got one yesterday and like it a lot, but I'm disappointed about a few things.

First, WiFi is difficult to get connected somtimes, even when I'm right next to the WAP. But once connected it seems okay. Honestly it could be the WAP too, because it's new and untested with other devices.

I had high hopes of using PocketPuTTY but it didn't work. The keyboard won't type any special characters when using it and the keys with numbers type only the numbers and not the letters. If I had done more research I would have found that it doesn't work with many devices yet (including most smartphones, I think) so I should have known better.

I expected to be able to use Skype but it won't install.

Other than that it's pretty nice. E-mail works pretty well, audio quality is good--I don't have a bluetooth headphone yet--and though the keyboard is a little tricky to use I think it's pretty good for the size.

Got myself one of these this week, from Expansys (UK):

Keyboard is much better than I had hoped - the buttons have raised tops, they do not feel that cramped.

Basically needs a PC to load it with stuff:
- Windows Media Player to sync MP3s etc (conversion from MP3 to WMA is not needed). Phone socket is non-standard, so I took a chance on a i-Tech Bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP). Sound in great, though I've found it best to keep the phones on full and control volume on the HTC, otherwise there is clipping.
- Mobipocket is good for ebooks etc., screen makes reading a pleasure
- No note-taking application is supplied, but I'm using M$ Office 2007 (beta), it includes OneNote PC,which prompted me to install OneNote Mobile installed on the HTC - does the job great.

No spreadsheet included, still looking for a decent scientific calculator (trying Orneta)
Games so far: Birdsoft All-In Hold'Em (poker), Smoresoft Sudoku, iSS Invaders (free via Microsoft).

It's a keeper IMHO, and I haven't even set up GPRS yet, just WiFi.

Checked their europe website from the FAQ section there it seems to be capablle for Skype. However anyone spoted how much this gadjet will cost?
P.S. there are plenty of non Skype VoIP who promise to deliver on 200Mhz mobile CPUs.

Skype downlaod page states that so long as the CPU is 400MHz and above, Skype for mobile would then be suitable. It seems that the S620 has only CPU of 200MHz. Am I right about this? Does it mean that Skype for mobile is not compatible with the S620. I am presently using HTC TyTn and Skype for mobile has performed quite well thus far.

Would anyone care to advise me or comment on this? Thanks.

yeah so this pic looks a little diff. the outline/background around screen and keyboard looks white instead of silver but prob just light silver. anyway it was funny when this first came out that ppl though it got wider at the keyboard but that is just design illusion caused by that whitish silver background material.

anyway the wifi is great but no 3g and its not worth getting any smart or pda phone that doesn't have 3g anymore since there are plenty of phones and carriers that do now.

cool that you mentioned that Asus p525 phone. Asus is the best laptop maker but none of the phone seem to be that great. that one is cool but no 3g so nah.

tmob is getting this phone as the tmob dash.

i'll be waiting for the samsung i607 with hsdpa on cing for my Q killer but the i607 doesnt' have wifi and it was rumored that the gsm Q will.

This this has a 200MHz Texas Instruments Omap Processor when is a different class than the Intel processors, so comparing MHz between Intel and TI wont work, but I do like Intel processors better anyway

this thing can't be better than Samsung SGH i320 as this thing runs on 2ooMHz and the i320 runs on Intel 416MHz. The only advantage of hving this over i320 is the Wi-Fi support which the i320 doesn't have. Also take a look at this guy ASUS P525. Cool!! Phone and PDA not smartphone. I hate smartphone as I want touch screen in the smartphone but i'm still waiting but with ASUS P525 it's done. It's cool pocket pc phone in the size of a smartphone.
