6800 communicator - Mini Me

[communicator]

People usually avoid using communicator as PHONE, becoz they say its Heavy, which is indeed.
6800 is gonna wipe these complaints , Although it dosent have office etc but Communicator should call it ----> Mini Me <-----

I always use my Communicator as a phone -- it's the primary function.

I've never heard of people buying the Communicator primarily for the PDA and use another phone for...well, phone functions. what's the purpose of getting it? might as well get a small phone and a stand-alone PDA.

I've been using my 9210 as a phone for a year now, but decided to buy a 8310 next to it (with Vodafone SIM copy).
After a moth of use I can say that now I use the communicator during the day, at the office and on the road, and in the evenings and week-ends, at home or in a cafe, I use the 8310. Next to it I bought the Carkit for the 8310, because it was quite a lot cheaper!
Are others using their Communicator in the same way?

[communicator]

Yeah
Here lots of people who owns a communicator , they keep another gsm phone too , just like you ... when they dont need to use PDA .. like evenings , clubs , holidays .. specially when they dont bother to take a heavy and big size phone .. they change their sim to any other smaller gsm phone
That include myself also

I've got a good belt so 4im not bothered by the size. I just don't take it with me to clubs because I don't want to break it I leave it in the car, can't afford 2 phones.

I use it for Business.

ALL its function, excepting fax (for the moment)

I also own a CDMA Phone to connect for High Speed Internet with my Laptop or 9210 (153Kbps).

For week-ens (is hard to say all the week-end`s Iam able lo leave my 92xx Baby home) I use Ericsson T28 or Nokia 3310.

So, it is not the size that matters, Is what you do with that size.

I am using 9210 as a PDA without SIM card, and sometimes I use 7650 as an infrared external modem for 9210 to connect to the internet through GPRS and to use the browser, e-mail client and full keyboard from 9210

I always used my 9210 as a phone and will continue to use my 9210i as a phone also, i'm not bothered about the size, its that the phone eats through my back pockets, so every 3-4 months a new pair of jeans have to be brought. :( :( I've also just ordered the new 8910 Black limited edition version , so it should reduce the number of jeans I have to buy.

I don't think that it is heavy in any way whatsoever, as there are far more heavier things in my jeans!

I solved the weight problem by using a horizontal phone holder that attaches to the belt with two belt hoops. It works so well its easy to forget it's there. An additional benefit is keeping the 9210 secure - difficult to steal and less chance of putting it down and forgetting about it! I guess it isn't the coolest looking solution so I tend to wear a jacket when I want to hide it.

4u2nv,
good choice man, but what about waiting the 8910i with a colored screen.. it would be better

btw, what does your nick mean?? :roll:

[Special]

i agree with Tomahawk.. i'm using the functional horizantal holder with a headset...

[LAuRA]

I mostly use 9210 day and night and never mind the size because if I wasn't carrying it I would be carrying a phone + a calendar + a little-notebook-to- jot-things-down-to + etc. Only on special occasions, e.g. fancy dinners, where I can only carry a very tiny handbag, I switch to my previous phone which was a 7110.

A thing about headsets: I bought them thinking they would solve one (minor) problem. I hate it when someone calls and I need to check something in my calendar while talking. Of course I can open the communicator and the conversation continues, but from there on everyone in the room can hear not only what I am saying but also what the other person is saying. And often the person on the other end does not know that his/her every word is open to all. So I figured I would buy a headset and by using it be able to check my calendar while talking on the phone without other people hearing the whole conversation. BUT. The headset is allways somewhere else, never there to be plugged in. I tried to keep it on all the time but the wire got tangled up in my bag and I gave up. :x

Does anybody else have the same problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Well the 8910 looks stunning enough without the colour screem and the black ones are limited edition ones!

And my forum name: Means what it say 4 U 2 N V, (say it all together fast)similar to the no plate I'm tryin to buy from DVLC.

Those headsets are total rubbish, i've been though about 4 since last year and they keep on snapping off the connection, those pins aren't very strong to hold it in, so I stopped using it months ago.
