Which "Small" Symbian Mobile
Hi all, I'm new to the forum and and have spent some time reading it with interest (some of you really know your stuff)
My question is: Which Symbian Mobile?
My requirements are simple,
I want to run Tom Tom software
I want as small a phone as possible
FM radio would be nice
Basic camera is fine
I had been waiting to see the N80, but it is taking ages, and looks like it will still be fairly large
Any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks

>> I assume you are wanting a Series 60 Nokia, as you weren't specific.
I want to run Tom Tom software
>> Probably one of the earlier ones then as the new S60V3 ones don't run TomTom yet.
I want as small a phone as possible
>> 6680/6681/N70 are the smallest ones. Depends on if you want 3G. Out of the I would choose 6680 for 3G, and 6681 if you don't want 3G. N70 appears to have some issues with TomTom.
FM radio would be nice
>> Only N70 has a radio. Although you could easliy add the Nokia radio headset to any of the others. (you need to plug in a headset anyway to enable radio)
Basic camera is fine
>> 6680/1 have 1.3Mp, an N70 is 2Mp.

Thanks for the information.
I don't mind whether it is a Nokia or not, do any of the other manufacturers have a current model that will run Tom Tom?
I don't need 3G

here's a link to the current mobile5 compatibility list from Tom Tom
if you've just the 'Mobile' version, its a smaller choice:
Nokia 6600, Orange SPV E200, Qtek 8060, 8080.

The smallest Symbian phone on the market right now is the E60. Like most of the new Nokia smartphones, it runs Symbian v9.1 and TomTom hasn't been released for it yet. It's a very nice phone (great screen, wifi), but doesn't have a camera or a radio.
Out of the phones currently available, the N70 is probably the smallest. It has a 2MP and radio, as already mentioned by posters above. It's a nice phone and probably does everything you want, assuming TomTom now works with it properly.
