    Hi,
    As my k800i doesn't show me that someone is calling me (receiving msg's from voda that someone called :/). I would to buy smartphone. I would prefer just touchscreen as touchscreen+qwerty is quite expensive. I would to spend around €200-€300. I'm used to quite big screen (have ipod touch 2gen) so something around 3"-3.5" will be ok. also I need Wi-Fi, blutooth, good camera, and maybe GPS. I would buy it from Vodafone or just in good on-line shop as sim-free.
    Thanks for any help!

    This phone is touchscreen with qwerty keyboard for €259.99, has everything you're looking for bar GPS, but i presume it'll work with an external GPS recevier which will enable Nokia maps, Goggle Maps etc. etc. to work for you.

    I mean that I had to push/hit screen with finger or use stylus, because while I was touching screen (like in iPod) it didn't react at all.

    Yes I saw that one, going later to see one in Voda shop.
    BTW. maybe you know any on-line shop with smartphones? Expansys.ie and Clove.co.uk are quite expensive. I'm looking for one and thought I can buy sim-free smartphone.

    I have it and while it's great device in a lot of respects, e.g. ability to install tons of different apps, lots of available performance and personal tweaks, X panel interface etc, it's often sluggish, due to Windows Mobile 6.1, and its features are outdated at this stage too; only a 3.2 MP camera with no Xenon flash.

    I would recommend the N900, although out of your price range, as at least that is receiving rave reviews from both reviewers and users, whereas the X1 received only favourable reviews when launched and things haven't changed much.
