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 :)

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
