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 :)

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
