Have you run out of phones for your “2 days with” series?

If you’re looking for suggestions you should take a look at the Nokia E90, available in retaili in a few weeks but already in the hands of a fair few uber-reviewers like yourself.

I bought another one as my backup too!</p> <p>Having fun in Ozzz!</p> <p>Drew</p> Hi Julie,
I think you’re issues with calls and vmail are related to your carrier, I bought the same phone for my girlfriend and she loves it and has had no issues.. I bought another one as my backup too!

Sony Ericsson K790a and the Samsung D900 are two that I've used before and are really nice. If you're looking for a slim one, the Samsung does a great job and has a good macro mode for magazine snapshots. They both have nice 3.2 mp cameras as well.</p> <p>Well I'll be looking out for any giveaways</p> Oh thats nice to know. I still have a chance in that case.

Yes, it would be nice to carry one item however I haven't seen a smartphone that has a screen as large as my T3 and isn't too bulky to hold to my ear as a phone. Most smartphones/flat phones just don't fit comfortably in my hand. Also I sometimes need to refer to things in the pda while I am on the phone. </p> <p>The not having calls show up is something I have a problem with now so I think it might be a carrier thing. My husband just called to see if I had tried to get him because he had 2 missed calls and I was listed as the most recent received calls (I hadn't called him).</p> My personal feeling is that I prefer a pda and a phone separately.

These past few weeks, that I’ve been trying to do a ’2 days with’ review, I’ve been carrying my Treo 650 and Treo 750 with me too. :o )

Just curious – when you switch to a phone like this that doesn’t have much in the way of PDA functions – what are you doing for your “main brain”? I would think that switching from a Treo (where for me all my appointments, contacts, and other info is stored) to a “basic” phone without that information would be very difficult.

Just wondering how you manage that aspect.
