    IIRC none of the treos have wifi (if that's what you mean by wireless).

    as for the cameras in pda-phones i'm not that sure about which is best tbh.

    the ipaq 6915 is a decent enough wm 5.0 ppc-phone with gps, wifi and keyboard. it comes however with a square screen which might cause problems with some apps. it's also wider than most other pda-phones.

    then there is the eten x500 with wm 5.0, wifi, gsm/gprs, bluetooth, gps and fm tuner in a nice form factor. or you could wait for the eten m700 which has all the above and a slideout keyboard but is slightly thicker.

    if you want a slide out keyboard there's also the o2 xda mini s/ imate kjam/ htc prophet as you mentioned. however it's thicker than the other devices and its processor is slower.

    you could also look at the new htc devices, the trinity and artemis.

    the htc 3300/artemis is another AIO wm 5.0 device with similar specs to the eten x500 but a weaker TI omap processor like the kjam above. it's a nice looking device imho though.

    the htc 3600/trinity is a small 3g wm 5.0 ppc phone with a better processor that you could also look at.

    as for the o2 xda exec/imate jasjar/htc universal it's a bit of a brick compared to all the above and it's very pricy.
    it has 3g though so if your prepared to overlook its size it might be suitable.

    other ppc-phones worth a look include the o2 atom or ipaq rw6815 which are essentially the same device and have wifi, gsm/gprs, bluetooth, fm tuner in a nice, light form factor.

    there's also the htc tytn which is like a 3g/hsdpa version of the htc wizard but with a better processor and slightly thinner afaik.

    i'd go with the eten glofiish x500 though.

    no, the jasjaM (which is the htc tytn) is actually in the region of €750, not €1000.

    the jasjaR/htc universal (same device as o2 exec) on the other hand used to retail for about €1000 but now seems to be selling for about €900.
    Bundled with satnav software however it's about a grand.

    I got the O2 Exec Atom a few months back and it is the dogs proverbials. Details here. If 3g isn't important, then this might be worth looking at. It has all the features you want (2 Megapixel camera, Wifi, etc.) but it also has an FM radio. This is what swayed it for me.

    It is about the size of a deck of playing cards, so it fits perfectly into a trouser pocket. The extra O2 software really makes it, a personal favourite being the media center-type interfact to the music and pictures (and videos if you have it).

    It's cost me around €700 from expansys.ie

    u definitly suggest the 02 phone?

    ok well it looks real nice man but the price kills me

    im hopin to spend between 200 and 500 euros on a pda not 700 to 1000

    but it looks exactly what i want so i might actually save up
