    Hi all,

    Could do with a bit of advise. I hope this is the right forum, otherwise feel free to move.

    I'm looking to buy a sim-free smartphone in the next week or two. Don't want to wait much longer. Key features I'm looking for are (1) WM5 (2) Good push email support (3) Quad Band (4) Good Battery life (5)

    I'm considering 3 options:

    - Motorola Q (GSM version is not anononced yet). Expansys accepts pre-order, no price annouced.

    - Treo 700w (Rumours Vodafone will support it - or something based on it). Nowhere to be found yet.

    - HTC TyTn//Qtek 9600. Available now from Expansys for Euro 754.95.


    Questions:
    1. Tytn is my 3rd choice, but Q and 700w are not here yet. Any info about their launch?
    2. Any alternative seller other than Expansys you would recommend?
    3. Any good/bad experience with TyTn?
    4. Anything else I should know.
    Thanks,
    Butch

    TYTN looks like a good bet, if very expensive as a sim free option.
    The T700w looks like a long way off, and i'm not sure they even do a GSM version?
    I have purchased from Expansys in the past without any problems.

    If you are in a hurry, and you sounsd like you are i'd go for the TYTN.
    good luck,
    Mervenut

    Tytn looks to be next week or week after.

    Ipaq 6915 looks like it meets your specs too

    http://www.expansys.ie/product.asp?code=132494&tab=2

    So does the older non-3g version of the Tytn (Imate K-jam in this case)

    http://www.expansys.ie/product.asp?code=125518

    I've just got a Qtek 8500 which also meets all your requirements, but I presume you are looking for a keyboard too??

    Just got it from Expansys, they are good if not the cheapest, and only have 14 days warantee before they refer you to the manufacturer, which is technically illegal to my knowledge.

    Thank you all for your reply. I considered the Ipaq 6915, but HP support has a reputation of being worst in class, plus the 6515 has really poor battery performance...

    Anyway... The TyTN is on its way now from Expansys. A bit expensive indeed, but hopefully worth every cent. It is expensive allright, but worth every cent... And, I need it for my job can't really wait to become cheaper.
