Mobile phone for use with N800?
 

I got me a N800 a couple of months ago, and I'm loving it. Now my mobile phone has died, and I need a new one.

My only major requirements for it is 3G and wlan, but of course, it should have some kind of mp3 player, the basic web-surfing capabilities etc. However, this phone will most of the time be used together with the N800, and though I'm not on an extremely tight budget, I wouldn't want to spend way much more than I need.
So what reasonable phone can I get that doesn't "overlap" too much with the N800?

(I prefer Nokia or Sony Ericsson, but I am open to try new products)

Here is a list of phones known to work

I personally have tried the
Moto KRZR
Moto Q (kinda works with pdanet but its a crappy phone)
Sanyo SCP-8400
and now I am using the Samsung SPH-M620 UpStage

All of these phones have been CDMA phones. I really like the speed sprint offers.

hey, how do you like the Samsung SPH-M620 UpStage? that phone looks real nice from sprint. is pairing easy and what plan do you have for the n800?

IIm probably going with the E65. In Norway carriers really aren't an issue. Most carriers
give a discount on any phone if you agree to be with them for a while, after a year or two you can switch at will. Of course one can get any phone without a carrier, for a higher price of course.

The upstage paired with no problem at all. I do pay for the phone as a modem plan.

When they first activated the phone for me it wouldnt connect as a modem. Then after a restart it worked great.

One thing you have to remember when using the upstage, its not an ipod! Don't try to use the touch panel like a click wheel. If you do it will do really funny things.

Sprint's network is pretty fast I generally get 400-500Kbps, but sometimes during the day when the network is busy it drops to about 300Kbps.

Overall I am happy with the upstage for now. I would love a blackberry but they don't support bluetooth DUN profile and I dont want to have to add software to make it work.

The moto Q is really crappy and for some reason when I installed pdanet to tether via bluetooth I could only get about 150Kbps-200Kbps. And I constantly had to restart the phone because bluetooth would stop working.

the 39.99 data unlimited plan?

Re: Mobile phone for use with N800?
 

YEah thats the plan. I use the phone as a modem with my laptop and n800

I use a Nokia N95 with my N800. Everything works perfectly, can pull photos and videos I shoot on the N95 straight over to the N800 for viewing, which is pretty rad.

I don't find EDGE slow, which is all I can do on T-Mobile US. I haven't ever used WCDMA/UMTS in the United States, so I'm not missing anything ;)

Probably one of the best phones out is the Moto RAZR V3xx. No overlap, pairing was a snap and has the latest bluetooth and 3G .

Looking to connect through blackberry. What software is out there to connect to a blacberry 8703e? Would it work on the 770? Appreciated.

Just thought I would add another one to the list
I have an O2 Cocoon running from a Vodafone sim and all works well
