CF slot + wifi + phone does it exist?

I'm looking for a new "convergence device" that has a cf slot, wi-fi, and is a phone.
Does anyone know of any devices that fit the bill. I looked at some of the UMPC devices but they seem a bit large. Thanks in advance.

Compact flash is the hard bit... do you REALLY need it?

I would prefer it, but it is not necessary. I would like most to have external storage in the 4-8 GB range. Is there anything as powerful as the axim with these specs?

The storaga is tricky.., the Htc tytn is great for wifi & phone but can only get to 2gb of storage...

Htc omni hasn't launched yet but will be worth a look.. Also the new toshiba portege looks interesting as does the Xda flame.

Or you could buy an iphone :hide:

I would buy an I-Phone but the lack of replaceable battery and, sd or cf slot is a big deal killer.

Most PDA phones have micro SD card slots. I have a 2 GB card in my HTC but 4 GB cards have now come out. Outside of using your PDA as a gaming device, I love my HTC and wouldn't go back.

SD or SDHC is a must for high storage capacity. VGA is top as well for me. CF is nice for my GPS but I can sacrifice that. I'll miss my 8GB CF and 16GB CF, but oh well.

Right now- I have phone + Axim x51v + cheap internet connection = JOY

The HTC Vogue or Touch may suit you. Again it is limited to mini SD and today its 4gb max. with future scheduled 8gb by year end so the rumor is.

Thanks everyone for your input you have been very helpful. I am seriously considering buying the HTC 8525. I have been told it is just a re-branded tytn is this true?

I don't get why huge devices like the O2 XDA Flame have mere microSD slots when they could probably accomodate both a CF AND a full-size SDHC slot. I just don't, unless they want us to pay more for less storage or something.

Anyway, good luck on finding a converged device with a CF slot. Hell, you'd probably have a hard enough time just trying to find one with a full-size SDHC slot instead of miniSD or microSD!

Thanks for the help everyone I purchased my HTC Tytn last night it should fit my needs perfectly. If anyone wants to purchase my Axim x50v let me know. It has no back cover (broken when I was switching batteries) but other than that it works perfectly, $140 is the price.

How are you getting on with your tytn?
