Beware of short battery life
10 days on standby well 4 days is a reality
4 hours talk time, 3 hours max.

the more contacts and details of your contacts you have the less battery time to use as a phone, yes it will shut down the phone and any calls in progress to prevent data loss.

recompiling the dl'ls ( if yo have a recent MS C++or C#) does help or a good knowledge of Java. You need to breek the LAA to cahnge the systems setting to extend the life, there is a way of moving the contracts to the SD card but OS repairs the fix and moves back to phone memory after 2 days, but you can store the fix and run the fix from the SD card.

GPRS is also locked down to around 14k again breaking in to the Phone OS can quickly change this to a minimium of 19k with 32k at peek.

getting the phone to accept more than 20 SMS messages by default 20 is the max and willnot copy them to the SD or memory. access to a Java SDK helps get around this mistake. extening the Sim/SD p[hone book beyond 200 to 500 uses the same Java SKD trick.
Knowledge of how viruses work( the codeing) is essential to exploit the faults in the OS. Although NOT feature rich BlueJacking is easy and reading other users phone book and pictures and album possible.

Overall I'm still keeping my Psion 5mx Organiser, its much faster, stores more information better screen and offer battery file unheard of by Win CE or Palm units
