linuxguy 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Hello all, I am planning to go to the US for a couple of years. I want to buy a new GSM handset. The following are my main requirements: 1. MUST have VoIP functionality over wifi 2. MUST be expandable ( Symbian OS / Windows Mobile OS ) i.e. additional applications should be easy to install 3. MUST work in the USA 4. MUST be sturdy Now the not so important requirements are: 1. Good music player ( OGG, MP3, WMA, AAC etc.. ) 2. Must play videos ( DivX, mpeg, WMVs, RM etc... etc... ) 3. Must be quick. Not sluggish. 4. If it has a touch screen, that'll be great! BUDGET: 15K-20K The budget is kind of flexible. Accordingly I've been able to find out the following phones: 1. Nokia N81 8GB 2. Nokia N78 3. HTC Touch 4. HTC Touch Cruise I can install skype on the HTC phones as they run Windows Mobile but I cant do that with Nokia phones BUT they have a built in SIP client which works over WIFI which is great. I THINK that client can be configured with any VoIP service. Any suggestions here? I also know that there are brands such as i-mate, O2 selling Windows Mobile devices. Can someone shed some light on good phones which meet my requirements? How good is the GSM coverage in USA? Do they use the same GSM frequencies as we do? What is better UMTS or HSDPA? Help me out here please! TIA! Edited February 12, 2008 by linuxguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
