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 :)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
