My phone does all of that.

Unsure about the dual bands tho.

Edit: It's a quad band it looks like.

That's a straight ballah phone son.

Kimie and I have VX9800's, which is just a step down from a "smart" phone.

quad band phones usually don't support CDMA, just different varieties of GSM. What phone do you have though? I'd like to check it out.

those look like sweet phones. I like the addition of the GPS. Does it use google maps and automatically put in your current location so you can search for stuff around you? One problem: doesn't do GSM. That's not a dealbreaker though if it has everything else. Can you use skype on it?

It's the T-MO HTC MDA. Has WM5 on it and there are a billion progs for it, such as GPS software. ...and my personal favorite Pocket Quicken!

25 hrs? That's it? Mine lasts at least two days and it's a power hog. :fly:

Don't know if it has wifi but the Treo 600 has everything else you requested.

(Whether or not the provider activates both bands, I don't know)

i have a 600 now. The 700 is almost perfect (because it supports ev-do) but it doesn't have wifi and doesn't support GSM. Also, I've decided that GPS is now necessary.

Basically I think I'm waiting for the Treo 800. It might have it all.

Sooo... why do you want wifi so badly on a phone? You're going to have internet on it anyways with a phone like that. I have wifi on mine now and have only used it when I first got the phone when I didn't have internet set up on it.

seems like it would be useful. say, to pull files off my lan for example. or perhaps for wireless synching.
