A new mobile phone
1 year ago I bought my last cell phone. My Sony Ericsson W300i still works without any problem, but this mobile phone, in my opinion, simply too old. I think I’m finally ready, to invest a large sum in a mobile phone to buy a modern device with HSPDA, as well as WLAN, Bluetooth, infrared and many other useful things. Why want I actually infrared? Many people would be surprised about this request. The answer is, I want to use my mobile phone as a remote control. I could use it for controlling my TV, but also with my digital camera too. My digital camera supports an infrared remote shutter button. This is something you need when you want to make sharp pictures. Moreover, it would be quite reasonable to buy a mobile phone, which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1. It is always desirable, to chose a device with the latest version of the available on the market operating system, as it often happens that the new programs will be written only for newer operating systems. The best thing would be if I had the opportunity to buy, a mobile phone with Google Android. There are no phones with Android on the market and it is not known when some of them will be released.
My budget 400 to 500 euros.
The main requirements are:
- HSPDA
- WLAN
- Bluetooth
- Infrared
- Lower SAR
Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1
My additional requests:
- Protection against splashes, dust and dirt (IP 54)
- GPS
- QWERTY keyboard
- No or very good digital camera
Currently, I see Asus P527 and HTC s730 as a possible compromise solutions. Of course it would be great, to buy Sony Ericsson to X1. The price for SE X1 is too high. I can not understand why I need to pay 999 € for a mobile phone. Only because of Windows Mobile 6.1? I would buy HTC Diamond in this case. It is much cheaper.
