    I have had my Nokia N60 for almost 3 years and wanting to upgrade to the newer Smartphones/PDA phones. I am looking for a phone that would essentially give me the following features in addition to the standard -

    GPS
    Windows Applications (MS Word, Excel etc to be able to use on the go..)
    Wifi (for browsing the Net and perhaps for VOIP calls - Skype)
    QWERTY keyboard
    Syncronising Emails, Calender - PC to Phone

    Any thoughts & suggestions please... I was inclining towards HTC Tytn II??

    You're used to Nokia, so why not get an e71 or some other e-series phone?
    E71 handles word/excell and all your other wishes, while giving you a great battery life for when on the go. And it's not a brick like the tytn. Yes, the tytn has a touchscreen, but at 2.8'' and slightly recessed it's not exactly fingerfriendly and you will at times need the stylus. Battery life is nowhere near the e-series, either. I keep my tytn as a paperweight to hold down the e71's manual that I'll never need to open anyway.

    Well, if wm it has to be, then the tytn's ok, of course :) just pointing out that you don't need a wm device to use microsoft's stuff ;)
