Hmm, always the first right? :) but i think that one is best as pocket pc at this moment. You also have tools which allows you to turn of the bluetooth at set time (like when your asleep or something) does this htc work with my bluetooth carkit, i know i had issues with that at some point.

@bwired/chak, you have a bluetooth carkit build in the car?

I have BT in my car.
there are few nice application that can turn on BT.
Like when the phone is in the car holder or at the set time.
The best application to do that is the Phone weaver from SBSH
http://www.sbsh.net/products/phoneweaver/

I use the application SPBphone. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en
This application has better integration with the other application that I'm using.
The first thing you have to do on this phone is upgrade the ROM with custom ROM.

As you probably know I have an iPhone and love it. That said if you want Bluetooth (with a full stack), GPS or Exchange support, the iPhone isn't for you.
Beside the HTC I've heard good things about the Nokia N95 aswell, but I've never used one. I'd look at one of these three phones.

By the way, you know that getting a new contract is often a lot cheaper than extending your current one. The only problem is that your number might change if you get a new contract with the same provider...

Ciao,
Esteban

and since i have my number for about 10+ years allready, i dont see that as an option. But if i can get it for the same price as extending from marktplaats.nl or something i'll just do that.
