New Smart Phones

Anybody else have one? I bought a Nokia E5 and love it and have been learning to use it. Cell phone service is expensive in Mexico BUT mine has wifi and Skype and I´m looking for a Symbian (the OS) SIP application and then I can hook into my VOIP service and make free calls as well as receive my landline calls on my cell. I´ve programmed all the Wifi services around my home well the area that encompassed the city block around my home.

It is another fun project due to high cell phone costs.

I also downloaded an English / Spanish dictionary and the phone has a built in GPS with maps of Mexico and the US!!! Today I´ll buy a holder and then be able to use it driving.

so bob are you posting from cozumel in chapapa? Im posting from my phone but inside my home in guad.

I've got a skype specific phone, that I've had for a couple of years. It works pretty well. I've used it all over N. America, any place with wifi. Have all my regular haunts programmed and it connects automatically. With a "Skypein" phone no. I can call all of N.A. for as much as I want for $50-$100 bucks a year, so it's great when I'm Lakeside.

I also have a piece of shat Blackberry thru Telus which didn't get turned for the month that I was down. I bought the package to use phone as a tether for my laptop, and I needed a phone. Telus has Skype blocked, so now I'm thinking Iphone or android. Why do I hate cell phone companies? Also the BB has tiny keys, not good with my thumbs (10 of them).

Most companies with I Phone or Blackberry force you into plans with internet, that is why I got the Nokia as there was no forced plan. I had planned to get the skype Wifi phone but never did and now this phone serves as a GPS as well as skype Wifi phone besides being a phone, also has a 5 megapixel camera which takes very nice pix.

Spencer, do you mind if I ask how much you had to pay for it? I got a Nokia recently which I really like and has email, wifi, camera, web, etc. but not as fancy as yours and doesn't have GPS. Is GPS a function of the phone?

I paid $169.99 at Amazon and no tax and free shipping, the 8gb memory card was another $12 or so from another place. I had it shipped to my parents in the US, it is unlocked quad band so takes any chip. The GPS is cool and I bought a mount and it is stuck to my windshield with an arm so I can see it while driving and use the GPS. Yours may have GPS if it has all those features.
