To my knowledge nokia is a Symbiam based phone where as we are looking at a nokia based phone, how the hell can both be compared. can you have a microsoft exchange server, or a more user friendly interface with your PC. N95 the king of nokia and still is i would say considering the usage. But in all nokia operating softwares, you do get lags big time, your wifi does not always connect properly or sometimes does not even read a router in range. The net browser is a pain as you get a smaller screen and everytime you have to zoom in or out here and there to view the whole damn thing. Plus with a windows mobile, you can even tweak your phone's reg or application and get the best of it.

Regarding battery life i can say its like this. When you drive a nissan you know that its gonna last a week on patrol. But when your in a V8 or an exotic, you have to make frequent stops ( not as many) but you sure do get a kick of each bit.

Nokia phones user friendly and have a lmited application capability. I have used the N82, E 61i, E71, E90 at first you would like the style and everything but after 2 weeks who gives a damn about the secondary screen

Its more of a show than use.

If you wanna make calls or listen to music all day. The nokia is best suited.

Although i have been using the E71, but it isnt complete. coz its the same old symbian piece with a nice presentation.

HTC has changed the way people think of a windows based mobile. Same goes for omnia.

Iphone, have used it for 2 days, i have some laggin issues, but every phone has it pros and cons

Its upto you which one would you buy.

If your a gadget freak and like to tamper with software applications or chat browse the internet you gotta buy an omnia or a HTC.

HP, ASUS and rest all are no way near these

Well i am myself an owner of an HTC touch Diamond. The phone is more than adequate and i am very much pleased with its performance. So in other words, this phone is far better than many of its competitors.

I've had this phone for 3 months now.

The battery life was poor. But using the new ROM cleared that up - also fixed TouchFlo scrolling issue. There are also patches for increasing the volume from the speaker and locking on to the best type of signal.

As for fingerprints - use the screen cover supplied in the box...

This phone is immense - you just need to know how to use it properly!

If you have an HTC Touch Diamond, congrats. You have just waisted your money. This phone is so good, I went back to my razor. 15 years and about 8 cell phones, and the HTC is the biggest let down I have ever had.
Battery life = What a joke, lucky if you get a day
Durability = Don't bump it, or you will have to re-boot
Service = Thats the biggers joke yet. If you expect your provider or HTC to do anything about it, your dreaming
Tht best advice = If you just got it, take it back and exchange it for a rotery phone. You will have a better product

Ok, this phone seems great on paper. The reality is, yes it is a fingerprint nightmare, the screen also scratches extremely easily. Even though the speed of the processor and internal memory is quite high, there are some issues I just can't get past.

Whilst on a call and another call comes in you can't end one call and move to the next - the phone freezes.
When dialing you first need to make sure the call connects, sometimes does not want to dial, once it connects you must switch the screen off before putting it against your ear, otherwise you accidentally press the end call buttom that is huge across the whole screen and you end your call as soon as the other person pics up. Sometimes there is lag when switching from one section to the next during finger scrolling and then all of a sudden it opens everything in between that you could have touched in the meantime. Seriously a very frustrating phone.

Pushmail works very well without any glitches. Network selection is not the greatest since most of the times it auto selects Edge rather than 3G even if 3G or HSDPA is available. Internet is fairly comfortable to browse although it hangs and closes on memory intensive sites where many objects or pics have to open. Can only open 3 tabs at a time and then it is usually out of memory anyway.

GPS is useless to me since the software costs way too much to install unless I can test it first. Since there are so many other glitches I can just imagine.

Personally I am seriously thingking of reverting back to my Nokia N95, it has far less issues......I am due for upgrade in Feb 09 and can not wait to get rid of this phone, sorry for the bad review, but I am seriously not impressed at all......

I think this phone is very good and have better mobility than iphone because they have good compact size and also is very usable for this size of screen.
For me they have all what i want from smartphone.
