Applications.

Say a delivery company wants their drivers to update their corporate database when a delivery is made via WAP...

Or any other permutation of the technology.

Yup, we do loads of provisioning for content providers, games and location based services...

You must have a dodgy one, cos mine works perfectly, depite being "phyically tested" ie repeatedly thrown at things. Granted, it doesn't feel right in your hand, but neither do most phones it has to be said. Mine never crashes, my T610 did all the time.

This phone seems to fit the requirements.

Any further inputs on either of these two? - on my current shortlist.

If you use bluetooth particulary a plumped in car kit DO NOT GET the K700i it has firmware gliches that prevent it mating with certainly the Parrot kit and allowing the phone book to sync', it also fails to disconnect automatically when you get out the car. Sony Ericsson know about this but haven't done anything, I kept mine for about a week before throwing at the bloke in the Carphone Whorehouse and having a blazzing row because he refused to accept it was faulty and not fit for purpose (IMO it has features which simply don't work) anyway it looks good but I changed back to a Z600 which doesn't do as much but atleast what it does do works.

I have a sony S700i and am coming round to the fact that, despite looking nice, it is shite. It crashes randomly and is generally like a test model not yet fit for public use.

I only have another couple of days before I am stuck with it (14 day exchange thing with vodafone) - I want the Nokia 6670 I think, but it isn't shown on their website! Looks like Im stuck with the Sony

Not that I want to stir things up further but my best mate has just sent his Orange SPV C500 back cause it kept crashing. Not only that but the 1,5 and 9 buttons then refuse to work so if your pin contains one of these numbers (like his did) you're buggered.

He also found the Windoze software difficult to use. He thought it was not very well suited to a phone. FYI his previous phone was a P800 and before that all Nokias.

The 6230 is a great phone, but the battery life is rubbish. Especially with games and bluetooth...
