I recently bought the Mitac Mio 8380 MS Smartphone from Hong Kong. Pretty cool phone packed with features, but to be honest MS Smartphone is your typical Microsoft product, which means it can be buggy. I've had to reset a number of times and am some what concerned about missing calls etc... Not to mention text entry is only supported through the key pad - no graffiti or anything like that. So, I still have my Palm Tungsten and a phone...

Should I sell this one to a braver soul and buy something more reliable like a Sony Ericsson Z600? Or should I hang on to it until the phone that I really want comes out early next year?? Samsung i-500 or i-505 - Palm OS and flip phone all in one.

What are other peoples experiences with Smartphones? Or even Smartphone-ish phones? My main thing is I want a nice reliable flip phone with some cool features, nice screen, that has some PIM capabilities.

Thoughts?

i would wait on the z600. there has been some reports of a bug with the WAP browser on some networks. plus, its really just a phone....not a pda.

i think the best choices right now are th SE p800 (for value and feature set) or the p900 (but this pda/phone is a hot commodity right now...so the prices are quite high)

just some food for though...
