          When you rate the functionality and the performance of this phone, rembember that it depends on Microsoft windows CE OS. thus, a lot of the drawbacks you have all described are because of the OS stability. using a sophisticated device and OS has penelities. I recently purshased this phone and I like it very much. it looks fine. And its screen is big and bright with vivid colors. When u look at this phone, you instantly feel its value. Its processor might be a bit underqualified for windows CE robust applications and multitasking. but it ok considering the its price.

                Hello.
                Today they stolen Qtek Sp5m SDA from my.
                The phone is good.
                But why they don't put some security like.
                When someone stole it from you then it can be tracked.I has run becouse there have some person when the phone i see that is not there,and i go throught one person to Medium Barcelona but from Big traffik i lost him.And for that will be good if someone put this becouse that is bad i pay 300 euro to get this mobile.And they too can make for example then the phone have a Sim Card to send a e-mail where is.And to be saved it the Ram where it can't be erased.

                And now who will return it to me.
                That is for now.
                Goodbye.

                    I have been using it for more than a month. And am in love with it. No doubts, it is not perfect, but then i have yet to see a perfect phone.

                    For locking the key pad, you need to press the end button for a few seconds, and the keypad will lock.

                    To use MP3 as ringtones, place your mp3 or wav files in the SOUNDS folder, which you will find in APPLICATION DATA folder on the root.

                    Maybe i am lucky, but my phone never required a reboot in the last whole one month, though i use GPRS a lot. The battery is reasonable but not poor, as with bluetooth, wifi and a brilliant display, one should not expect a battery to last very long. The comfort for me is that i can always connect it with my PC usb, and it charges alongwith.

                    Hope the comments will be a help.

                        I am disappointed in this model. You can not search contacts as older model SP3, nor can you insert the name or tel. number when you write a text message. The phone now is at the servise centre for 4 days, just bought it a week ago. I do not if this can be repaired or not.

                          I got this on t-mobile in the UK under its guise SDAII. They have put windows mobile 2003 on it instead of mobile 5 which dissapointed me a lot. Anyone know how to update the OS? Or any good websites that talk about it and give advice on how not to destroy your phone?

                              why the rating on this phone is way lower than the functionally identical phone, qtek 8300. This phone has 64mb sdram, the 8300 has only 32mb.

                                      I have to remove one of the cons items from my previous post..

                                      - You can now buy clearVue from westtek to view office files word/ppt/xl/pdf/images ( http://www.westtek.com/smartphone )

                                      I have tried it and its excellent

                                        Brought this mobile a month back in india..

                                        Pros
                                        - Excellent features ( edge | wifi | wm5.0se
                                        | miniSD )
                                        - Very handy to carry and use ( I dislike bulky models )
                                        - TOP DISPLAY, I transfer my canon camera image to this phone and its amazing to view here
                                        - Priced competitively, you wont get wifi in any other models at this price ( $470 today )

                                        Cons
                                        - Cannot use older activesync 3.8 versions , It has the feature to sync over wifi, they disabled in activesync 4.1 for so called corporate security..

                                        - Since its a smartphone edition , you cannot use softwares like word/pdf viewer.. only outlook/msn/windows media + other applications

                                        - not well documented, you can press disconnect button for 4 seconds for keypadlock which i found by trial and error

                                        - no 3g ( neither the service exists in india today )

                                        - Inbuild camera is average quality

                                        Conclusion:

                                        Overall its still a good to have this smartphone
