[En0203]

cool, probably this device will draw me back to nokia

 

but i would like to see other manufacturer's line up for 2009 too

32G storage looks good! Should be the 1st phone to have 32G on board.

 

Should be coming out 1st half of next year. Price looks ok but as usual, will cost >$1k when it is launched here.

[Metalbone]

Looks like a good replacement for the E90 commmunicator or the N810, wonder how the next communicator going to look like?

Fighting back Sony Xperia

It does look very good...

 

 

Looks good... im a all time Nokia user, but dunnow how's the battery life like.

Recent Nokia mobiles have poor battery life.

[Shull]

no GPS..no windows mobile..

 

nah..i'll give this a miss..

 

there's no turning back once i'm on WM..

[Gnoikj]

GSM Arena lists it as having GPS receiver. So I think GPS is definitely there...

 

Its Symbian OS...quite a steady OS too...different from WM but not necessarily "poorer"...

[Shull]

i might be wrong then about the GPS part..

 

but i have used 6 symbian phones in the past 4yrs..and recently switched to WM..in terms of functionality, WM beats symbian hands down..

 

but symbian is still better in user friendliness..

To all SH users, Touch HD is coming out this weekend... Would expect it to be $798 with $200 trade in for mid-range plans.
