XDA Mini S or....

[Flibster]

Currently got an A1000 and a XDA Exec.

Looking at changing the A1000 to another Windows Mobile phone...

Was thinking of picking up a Mini S tomorrow...however that's gone out the window ever since I saw...

The O2 XDA trion...

Essentially the same phone but with minor tweaks, Bluetooth2, 3g, 2megapixel camera, oh - and it's slightly uglier.

So...should I wait for it *July apparently* or just get the Mini S

Guys sorry to hijack but im abit of a smartphone noob and ive been thinking about getting one of these mini s's and would like to know what kinda things it can do compared to the likes of standard phones like the k750 which i have at the moment.

I know the camera isnt gonna be as good but how does it compare for playing mp3's and videos? is it all done through a basic version of windows media player? can you view vids fullscreen? wots the wifi like?

My Exec is very good at all of the above...

Using TCPMP as a media player as it plays most video's very very well. Still a few codec's that aren't supported *realmedia for example...which is a pain with the bbc's web site streaming everything in realmedia*

Camera is ok - nothing particularly special though. I generally carry my camera around with me anyway.

As for what it can do in comparison with a k750 - everything, pretty much. It just does it better. For a start - it's not got anything to do with Sony.

Hey Simon! You probably saw us all playing with our exec's at the AT meet . It's a great phone but its a bit huge. If i new your were looking into getting one i would have let you use mine for a day and give it a test run.

The HTC Hermes is what i'm actually after and as soon as it comes out i'm selling up and getting that .

*looks at first line of his post..*
Already got an Exec - looking for something to replace the A1000

Thinking of waiting for the Trion now - damn - have to live with the A1000
