  not sure about the plan... but saw life on the IT fair.. think o2 was selling at ard 978 or 998... w/o plan. dont think the physical outlook is nice leh.. but life look younger and more sporty... maybe suit youngster.
  
  zinc think come with hortizontal keypad.. look more executive.. as for spec wise, have to depend on your usage.. are u a very high usage for PDA fone? if not, think both u can get lor.. just the price and which one u like bah..
  
  chinese reading u may need a 3rd party software, CE-Star. think can be downloaded free.. try google it.

  subtract 200 to that...so budget of 800 will be required for either of those phones...the horizontal keypad...do people type sms-style or put on table and type computer-style?
  
  sounds like a dumb question but i have not used those phones before...so...

  like stealth.. is sliding pda, but is hortizontal.. like keyboard.. but is for sms etc... http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaZinc/template/Product.vm
  
  if u nv use pda b4 hor.. will take a long time to get used to the sms.. cos u wil need 2 hands to sms.. last time jz one hand can do the job., cos one hand to hold the pda, another to hold the stylus.. i m still trying to get used to it.. most of the time.. very lazy to sms oso.. especially when slping..
