Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

As above, I'm going on a trip but not sure which phone to take?

The n9 with the better camera and better map services or the n900 with the slightly lesser versions of the above but so much more functional in every other areas.

It's a camping trip so the idea of having a computer in the pocket will be handy if needed but the n9 certainly would have its uses.

What would you choose?

Me too.agreed with sifo ;)

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

take both, it's nokia....never can trust them :P
(n900 - battery issue || n9 - all other issues)
:D

These days I carry a cheap mobile phone that can thether and a cheap TouchPad but when I went overseas or whenever I go I carry N900, it has both buit into one. Battery is an issue though

PS: sorry about hijacking the thread... just want take a ride :)

hahahahahahaha, yes, best choice, that's how he will be able to enjoy in nature (and have battery almost untouched all the time)

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

I would recommend an N950 and if you can't get that I would recommend an N9.
Sure the N900 is awesome, but it has to bad battery life and camera especially if you are going on a trip.

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

n950? you want him lost and dead?
iphone or nokia 3310 (or 3330 because of modem) or lumia

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm still undecided tbh, yes Drive would be better as I will be the one driving but for everything else can be done with the n900.

Battery life will not be an issue for me as I can get a solid 2 days+ on the n900 and will have a car charger too so it's a none issue.



That's a good idea. I did not think of getting a cheap outdated phone that would not be missed if it got lost/stolen/damaged, may have to look into those lumias after all ;)

I may end up taking both?

Thanks again guys

Definitely take the N900!!! ... imagine ... You sitting on the beach (I hope your trip includes a visit on the beach :D ), sun is shining and all those nice ladies in bikinis hopping around and asking to go swimming with you. And you ... you're sitting there and want to finish quickly your bash scripts, but you can't because the display keyboard of your N9 is so difficult to type on ... maaaan I would freak out :p

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

I don't know. The last trips where i had to rely on the N900, i was disappointed.

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

No beach trip with Bikini clad ladies sadly, it's a Radio Controlled Car club meet so it will be a complete sausage fest. ;)

And I see your point with the n9 keyboard... How have sub 7" crapacitive input only devices become so popular? lol

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

please dont feed that ridicilous troll.

now too my choice:

if I must choose I would go for n9

better gps app
more stable as phone
better camera

but if possible take both n9 and n900 :)

Re: Going away on a trip, which phone to take?
 

What a kind of question is it? Of course N900.

BTW, N900 can have *much* better map support - try Marble or ModRana. Also, N9's camera is kinda not using it's full potential now, (lack of software) so camera superiority (as in practical usage *now*) is quite debatable.
