Hello,
I'm wondering what to do about this. My phone is a Nokia 6260, and while it is ok to use (despite crashing more and more frequently), there are some downsides. Mostly because my usage has changed (I want a new one, but don't really see reason enough to justify it).
I often type & send emails on it (but it has no full keyboard). Alternatively, I can type texts on my laptop, send them via bluetooth, and copy past to the mail application. But then I'm quite limited in size (the texts are passed through the "notes" application, which has size limitations). Lastly, I could send mails from the laptop, but setting up the GPRS connection from laptop is cumbersome (most of the times the phone needs to be reset before it works), in total it costs quite some time (and much more GPRS traffic) to do this.
The phone does not support synchronizing emails, so I cannot type them in Outlook, synchronize, and send them. So I'm thinking of alternatives.
1. Just get a new mobile.
Problem is I don't want to spend too much on it, and the phones that seem to provide the required functionality are too expensive (IMO, anything over €400 is too much) or too bulky. Any devices you guys would recommend?
SE M600i: misses some features I find necessary (i.e. profiles)
Nokia 9300i: lacks some features as well
HTC HTyN: too expensive
Nokia E70: gets bad reviews for low available memory in landscape (and as I already notice with mine, this impacts stability a lot; my 6260 actually has more available work memory than this one.
Nokie E61: too big
Fujitsu T830: too heavy (I think), at just under €500 it is a great offering (it has built in gps!) though.
2. My PC keyboard is quite old, and sometimes keys appear stuck (esp. shift or ctrl). I could get a bluetooth keyboard, and probabely use it as a keyboard for the mobile (I need to check if this works).
3. Get a bluetooth keyboard for the mobile (there are thumbboards).
Any suggestions?

I could then buy a new device (last time, the 6260 was away for some 2 months), and keep the 6260 as backup...
