Is this phone similar to Dopod 577w? I think this is a great one with Wifi connection,Bluetooth... But i still wonder wether the sound is good or not?

Not an opinion but a question...can you use the joystick thing as a mouse pointer since this thing isn't touch screen? Can you watch videos on this thing? Is it fast enough to play divx/xvid? Can i install TCMP on it? How about if I wanted to use it as a GPS device by installing TOMTOM and connecting it to a bluetooth GPS receiver...possible?

I understand the SP5 lacks pocket office apps (word, excel etc...). Can I install them somehow when I get the phone?

I need to read word files received by email...

how is the sound of the ringtones on the sp5? i have the sp3i and i wish it was louder or i wish it sounded "better". only mono speaker on the sp3i so it sounds distorted in a way.

Beleive me I have tried a few phones in my time, being a bit of a gadget freak...I have to tell you honestly this is possibly the best phone I have ever had, I think the ease of use in syncing with my computer coupled with the fact it is a windows based phone make it an idea business companion. Emails arrive at pre sent intervals ( set up on the phone ) and the T9 text inputting is a breeze to work with. Some great features I would like to point out to any potential buyers.

1: When you dial a number, the phone recongises from your contacts folder the numbers that you use most, making it easy to scroll down and choose the number you want to dial.

2: Contacts are very simple to find on the phone, if you are using multiple email addresses when you choose to send a mail from the contacts folder it will ask you which address you want to send it from, giving you the best flexibility of business and private emails.

3: The camera is good but not something you would buy the phone for as it is not too good in poor light.

4: I have used the phone from the time it was released and I have had NO problems with the phone locking, freezing, stopping, it has given faultless use for almost a year.

Great phone but two problems:

The circular button can either be too sensitive or not at all.

When lifting the phone from its supplied holster it's easy to cancel a call. This is because the top row of buttons are rasied and the left most one cancels the call.

On the other hand the screen is wonderful and, with a mini-SD card you can store all the MP3s you like.

@Xipher
If MSN connected via GPRS then I think it disconnects. If connected via Wifi it should stay on.

Put the MP3 in your My Documents folder and it will show up in the Ringtone selection list.

well this phone is very cool..but has following issues:

1. Multimedia Playback volume while using speaker phone is too low.
2. Call ring volume is too low to hear sometimes. I have missed a few calls that way.
3. There is no self timer for its camera..something very common in SE phones.
4. Software availability is not as good as imate PDAs.

Otherwise its a great phone.
3.

i've had this phone for about two weeks now and it's amazing. i love everything about it. it's compact, yet has all the features you can ask for (and extra, like wi fi). good reception, good call quality, spearkerphone volume is loud! (it's also used to mp3 playback so next time you travel, you can leave your portable speakers at home). the camera is not the greatest. (btw, no flash - just a "night mode" option). but c'mon, do you really buy a phone to use as a digital camera?!
so overall, an awesome phone!!! i know you won't be disappointed either if you buy it.
