i dunno mate. i love the iphone virtual the hd2 however wasnt as good mind. maybe i am just to it.. i am getting used to using the real keypad but 2 probs- i have to keep my nails long on my thumbs and i cant do it 1 handed....
I just want to post my "Smartphone Odyssey" to help others with their decision for or against the Nokia N900.
I owned a Palm Treo Treo 680 for a couple of yeras and loved it. But I wanted something new with a bigger screen and UMTS. So I tried to decide between the Palm Pre, Nokia N900, HTC HD2.
The Motorola Milestone wasn't even on the list, because I don't like the concept of sharing my private data with Google.
To my kowledge it would have been possible to sync Palm Pre with my local Computer via additional software. Not ideal but at least possible. Anyway, I tried the Palm Pre in the store and didn't like the keyboard and the small screen.
And there was the HTC HD2. The gigantic awesome screen and the 1 GHZ snapdragon were the reasons for me to order this smartphone.
I owned it for exactly one day .
I hated the OS. All the tweaking can not hide that this is still Windows Mobile. The screen is OK, but it was just to big for convenient everyday use. I also hated the lack of a physical keyboard.
So I sent it back and got myself a Nokia N900. I own it now for 2 days and I really do love this new little toy . Oh yeah, it is far from perfect.
For example my Palm Treo 680 calendar was far more flexible than the Nokia N900 calendar. I hope there will be updates or applications which may solve this problem in the future. But there are so many goodies that I can live with the downsides.
The goodies are: the OS is just great, I love the desktops. The browser experience is great (far better than on the HTC HD2). The phone functions are OK for me. The size is optimal for me. The hardware keyboard is also good (I will never ever buy a smartphone without hardware keyboard).
The short version: In my opinion the Nokia N900 is by far the best of the mentioned devices.
Greets,
Andreas
