After many hours of research (ha!) it really came down to two choices which could potentially fulfill my needs for style and capability. The first choice was the Nokia N91, including its own 4Gb hdd, mp3 player, wifi etc…unfortunately Nokia have a tendency of announcing their products years in advance of their actual release dates. Then not telling anyone when the release date actually is, or simply lying or being vague about it…I had actually been waiting for this phone since early june, the release date that had been announced back in april came and went, my patience wore out…

The o2 xda mini s was the next choice, more of a pda than a phone it resembled my old 7650 and seemed to do everything I wanted. The only problem is that it runs Windows Mobile 5, do I really need another version of windows in my life? I am seriously thinking about installing osx86 on my pc so I can avoid windows and microsoft altogether (techie bliss!). So would getting a mobile phone which runs windows be a huge mistake? Will it inevitably lead to many hours of hair pulling and shouting at the inanimate gadgetry.

Nah, cant be that bad I thought…so I ordered the xda.
