T-Mobile upgrade, business use......

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

My T Mobile contract is up for renewal, one I use for work that I have 50% discount on line rental + W&W, and I need a new handset that preferably has built in GPS so I can use a decent Sat Nav programme.

T mobile have mention the MDA Compact III or the Blackberry Curve 8310.

Anyone in the know be able to point me in the direction of which I should get?

Cheers

Ye saw that ^^^ probably more than I need TBH, its really going to be used to make calls, possible receive emails if I dont have my laptop with me, and sat nav.

N95

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

How does the sat nav on an N95 work ? is it subscription based? does the phone come loaded with the sat nav software, as t mobile offer it with co pilot as an extra?

 

[Tom]

Its preloaded and requires a subscription, tomtom wont work with the built in GPS.

Copilot is optional.

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

How much is the subscription on the N95 ?

Do you know what Sat Nav works on the Blackberry ??

 

[Tom]

£60 i think, no sorry not sure.

Not sure about the Sat Nav on blackberry. I know google maps will use the Sat Nav for basic navigation.

If you need your email out and about I would say Blackberry mine is vital to be honest

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Really need to find out about the Sat Nav on the black berry, T Mobile dont know, which is good !

 

[Tom]

The BB sat nav will be rubbish thats for sure.

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Ok, 1 more Q about BB email.......I have a pop3 mail account @ work running through Outlook, will BB email service work with a pop3 account? And say I am out and about and I get an email sent to my BB handset, will this also be delivered to my laptop when I get into the office??

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Went for the MDA compact III, downloaded tomtom6 over the weekend and used it, really pleased with my choice!!

Had a look at a mates N95 with sat nav, was useless!

Set up my pop3 emails which work a treat too with the unlimited W&W from T Mobile, liking the W&W home page which you can set up you ebay account on to monitor your goings on very quickly and easily!

Me thinks this phone pisses on the iphone really

 

[Tom]

MDA compact III, the trackball one?

Vario III you mean?

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Not the vario, the compact with the trackball is the one

 

[Tom]

Each to their own i guess, im not a fan of that at all.

The Vario 3 is vastly superior.

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

I looked at the Vario3, they wanted £150 for it on upgrade, didnt really feel it waranted the extra £££ for what I need it for, its my 2nd phone I use for work

Definately worth the money is the Vario III - as long as they've not messed up the firmware.
