HTC Touch or E-Ten X500?

I'm torn between these two. One has fabulous "hand appeal" and the other
has built-in SIRF III GPS. Each attrcats me and they are around the same
price but I already have a bluetooth GPS receiver so could do without
the E-Ten advantage.

Any thoughts?

Beware the Eten if you intend to use it with T-Mobile UK. GPRS don't work.

Thanks for your reply. Assuming this happened to you, how did you try to
resolve it? Was it a Web n Walk issue? I would be using the device on O2
but I am interested in the problem nonetheless.

Thanks, Paul

It hasn't happened to me (I use a K800i, Loox N560 combo). I found out about
it from this thread on Modaco...

As far as I know, it will be fine on o2.

Go and play with a Touch. I'm confident that anyone who uses it for
more than a few minutes will see that the touch aspect is kinda bolted
on and is little more than a gimmick. You'll be pulling the stylus out
before long.
