The options I am offered by the insurers are:

The SE P1i is a symbian device and has generally been given a lukewarm
welcome. Out of the other 3 XDA devices the Orbit and Argon are similar,
with the argon having a slide out keyboard, the Orbit has onboard GPS if
thats useful to you and is quite a nice device. It should now come
with Windows Mobile 6 pro, reviews should be found for all of them at

Thanks. It looks like, out of that lot, the Trion is the only one with a
proper qwerty keyboard. But I'm worried about the email - as it is
windoze based, is it going to play nicely with my cyrus mail server?

And does anyone know if it supports IMAP IDLE ?

the direct replacement for the 9300 is the nokia e90.
the others are all different form factors of essentially the same
thing, windows mobile handsets from HTC rebadged for O2.
Some hate WM: I quite like it, but that's primarily because I use it
for work and the sync to Outlook is second to none. Also, there's a
hugely active enthusiast hacking/modding scene out there at
www.xda-developers.com.

It doesn't natively play nicely with Mac though. Missing Sync
promises a lot but falls a bit short on delivery.

My last insurance claim for a stolen phone had a similar thing: they
offered me a list from their approved suppliers that wasn't anything
like the stolen Palm Treo. I referred it back to the insurer and
after faxing in some example pricing of the original handset they
refunded me the list price by cheque.

Windows Mobile and Symbian/Nokia are chalk and cheese: this isn't like
for like and if I were you I'd hold out for either the N90 or a
cheque.

Thanks for that. I had just come to the same realisation. WWhen I made
the
original post I dodn't know about the e90, but since then I have found that
it is the obvious replacement for the 9300i. Poxy insurers are saying that
I'm not entitled to it, but for goodness' sake, the 9300i is the phone I
had and so by definition the phone that was insured, so it seems evident
that I mut be entitled to either a 9300i or direct replacement.

I shall hassle the insurers.

Who were you with by the way? I'm with 02.

I'm insured via Tesco, they used a company called PowerPlay to handle
the replacement kit. The Treo being replaced was bought sim-free.
PP didn't do anything Palm related so were offering the WM 750v or
various HTC handsets which just didn't work for us: the missus loves
the Treo and as that's what got nicked, that's what we wanted to
replace it. I explained that what they were offering wasn't
comparable and they were very nice about it - just asked if we wanted
it referring back to the insurance company. Took a while to sort it
out, but once I'd faxed some screenshots of expansys.com's prices we
were refunded.

The E90's *obviously* the replacement, really, isn't it? Looks like a
lovely bit of kit: Stephen Fry's blog entry backed up my initial
suspicions that I could readily put up with the extra bulk for the
features...
