What phone to get!


Recommended Posts

With my current contract ending soon its time for a new phone!

Options:

iPhone

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (Release Week 42/43 T-Mobile Netherlands)

HTC Touch HD (Release December - End of Q4 start of Q1 2009)

HTC Touch Pro (Released, but havent tested this might get one this week)

These phones ive tried so far:

iPhone

with the old firmware. Didnt like the fact that the battery died after 1 work day (9hrs)

But like the "addons" and also know that with a jailbreak iphone you can have alot of fun! Like the total kernel changed :p

SE Xperia X1

Like the usability of the phone. Ran stable but couldnt test certain parts due to the fact it was a engineering phone.

Blackberry Javelin

Not to keen of the buttons, they are small and hard to press if you have fat thumbs :p

Like the speed of the thing tho, responded nice. Nice quality phone.

It looks like you are on att. There are some very nice samsungs coming:

i907(?) - the BJ3

a687 - US version of the omnia called the mirage

Also you could look at the palm treo pro. You can get it straight from palm or soon Best Buy as an unlocked unit. You pay more upfront for it but you aren't locked into a contract

my contract expires right after christmas so im trying to keep up on all these new phone reviews.

for the omnia do you have to feed the parade that comes out? or do you just send them back? ;]

what makes the omnia better than any other windows mobile phone? i see they made the interface more touch friendly and i love windows mobile, but it dosnt seem to have any features or advantages that make it 'stand out'.

From experience the quality of Samsung are getting worse and worse.

Any new phone I get its always a Sony Ericsson or a Nokia.

My Samsung Tocco is an amazing little gadget... high quality build, fast responding touch screen (yes faster than 2 iPhones which belong to friends)...

Fail to see how it's an inferior quality...

@Berserk - Not alot, I just like it, so mentioned it as an option the OP took it into consideration and got one...such is life :)

    • lots of people us facebook for stuff, threads though no
    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
