Help me decide: MPx220 vs. SMT5600 vs. 2125

I recently got a SE W600i which I love... however, I had to get an iPAQ pocket PC around the same time, which regardless of what HP says it will not recognize/support Cisco's LEAP protocol which is our office's wireless network. So, I'm about to return the iPAQ, and am thinking of selling the W600i and going with a Windows smartphone instead. Unfortunately, that's probably what I should have done in the first place! :rolleyes:

Anyway, looking for recommendations between the MPx220, the SMT5600 and/or the 2125. I don't need the keyboard of the 8125 since I won't be a heavy e-mail user... can deal with using the phone keypad for the random e-mail here and there. Mostly just need the Outlook calendar function. Beyond that, the most i...

I have the MPx200 and love it. I'm a heavy Outlook user and this phone is exactly what I want. I carried a bulky treo 650 for about 5 months and just couldn't stand it.

I can't complain about signal stregnth, although I'm not a tech and don't know how it compares. I have never had issues.

I bought mine on eBay. When I got it, it was set up in Chinese, but throught he menu funciton got it over to english. I also spent some time reflashing the ROM. That was scary, but not too hard to do (i'm not that savvy with that stuff).

Anyway, good luck. The MPx220 would be my recomendation.

I have used all of these phones and am currently using the 2125. reception wise in my experience i would hand it to the 2125. the hump thats on top from what i've read and also seen on other forums is an extended antenna. the reception is great. on the audiovox the signal would constantly go up and down. and the 220 was ok but i really didnt care for the resolution of the screen. it looked really dull and fuzzy compared to the 5600 and with the 2125 you have twice the resolution. bottom line is that the 5600 is average for reception and the mpx 220 is a little better however it has been discontinued by cingular for quite a while. thats why these phones are super cheap right now. the 2125 is by far the best for reception and you also get wido...
