Hi All,

I just broke my Palm Treo 650 and am now in the market for a new, I mean used, phone. I have the impression that some or all WM phones have more screen real estate than the Treo, and would love to have larger Chinese characters in Pleco's reader. I currently use T-Mobile (in the US) without a contract and prefer to continue that way. I don't want to pay close to $500 for a new Touch2, which is what they cost without a contract, but I could pay a hundred or two for a used phone with a larger screen. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Douglas

Well now that we're about to release an iPhone version you could go that route, unless you need flashcards in which case it'll be a few more months of waiting for that - first-gen iPhones seem to be in the sub-$200 range on eBay now and should be fine for running Pleco. (and are T-Mobile-compatible if unlocked)

As far as large-screen WM options, the large screens have only gotten in vogue on WM phones pretty recently (for battery-related reasons I think) - the HTC Touch HD was probably the first widely-circulated really-big-screen WM phone, the original Samsung Omnia might not be too expensive now either though the screen's not quite as big as on the Touch HD.
