Time for a New Phone! I hope a S60 Smart Phone

The Price of this new model smart phones are way out of my reach, however reach i may want them, so i started listing down what i want, A Smart Phone that have wifi and able to open words, excel and power point. Why Wifi, its because it is now so common, even at the Kedai Mamak, the Humble Coffee Shop, Restaurants, Hotel you have Free Wifi, and the Dap State Govt of Penang want to blanket Penang with Free Wifi ;-). Any other feature will be a added benefits.

Sony P1, Initial the P1 look attractive, as a colleague use one, i manage to lay my greasy hands on it and play around, did some research, and hey it look nice, touch screen, open and edit words excel, 3.15 camera with zoom, Qwerty input, why not i said, Cost around RM1400, which is the same with new model G900 said the salesman, then i heard that the op system is being stop, Is this true?

S60 device, Friends introduce the S60 range of Smart Phones, they say lots of software out there, to customize your phone, and lots of New Model Handphone use them, not like the sony op system, Nokia, Samsung etc use S60.

Nokia N82, After a bit of net research, I opted for a Nokia N82, its "boaring" candy bar look good to me, I am a bit of a conservetive person, dont like flip / slide etc as i am also a butter fingers, and Being a gadget freek, i think i will love the GPS, TV out capebility, 5 MP camera. Xanon flash, Cost = RM1280 (for a new AP set) but getting in the assecories like, car holder, car charger, case and Gamin map will cost me more. Not Cheep, but when compared to the P1, giving up the "not so functional" qwerty key board and the touch screen, for the extra goodies . Its not a new model, that why its cheep! and its a proven model, that being conservative again.

.

I did think to get a 2nd hand set, but when comparing the phone only price of around RM900, then getting in the original accessories, plus what i want it will come up to the same as a new one, so no point. Time to start putting the money to one side, as long as there are no emergencies, i am thinking early Jan 2009

.

Now i am already wondering what free software is out there that i should put in. Calling N82 / S60 handphone users out there, any suggestion and where to find this free software?
