My current contract is up for renewal in the next few months. Currently got an XDA Mini S that is buggered beyond all belief (it's insured, I can't be bothered).

Looking at the Trion or the Zinc... differences? availablity?

I also had an xda mini s for over a year or so. Upgraded recently to an xda orbit, which is similar but imo is a lot better then the mini s:

-improved camera from 1.3mp to 2.0mp
-much slimmer
-much better looking (black)
-better built
-built in FM radio
-built in GPS (which works flawlessly with tomtom)

The one thing is doesn't have is the sliding keyboard, hence why it is much slimmer but that was no issue for me. Brilliant fone and tiny for a pda.

I just use the transcriber, you can handwrite on the screen and it will convert it to text. The on screen keyboard is very fast to use too with the stylus.

The Zinc has been canned so you won't be able to get it.
Personally, I'm waiting for the HTC Kaiser.

I'm after a pda when my contract is up in july, has anyone used the xda graphite yet?

I need something that has wifi and runs sat nav

I've just received my Graphite as an upgrade, not really used it much yet, but so far it seems nice, fairly quick and easy to use, can't get used to the change from SE though, had them for the last 3 years!
Have ordered a bluetooth GPS addon too, will update you as soon as it arrives, let you know if it works OK.

HTC release is scheduled for June 2007. It'll another month or 2 after that when the network operators get hold of them.
