Tough Call : Nokia N82 or Se G900

[gxsaurav]

feature wise N82 is better but I don't require many of them, so I M trading in favor of the keypad & better looks.

Ok any more feature, I might end up buying N82 only if the last diciding factor is EDGE

[krates]

dude 1 more is

it is SYMBIAN S60 V3 (it has got never ending list of apps)

and G900 si SYMBIAN UIQ( it has got basic apz like mac)

[Power UP]

Saurav N82 is a much better deal.

Even i was worried about keypad , but after a week i got easily accustomed to it.
The spacing between the keypad helps a lot , i hardly make any mistakes even without looking at the keypad

As far as looks check out the black version , it is quite a beauty

[hellgate]

yup N82 is better.

coming from a N95 8GB had probs with the keypad initially.but i hav eventually adjusted to the keypad.

the new Nokia Maps 2.0 has pretty detailed maps of Delhi.even i plan to use it to navigate in Delhi when i shift on the 22nd.though u need GPRS/EDGE.if ur not satisfied u can always use Google Maps.

N82 being a S60v3 OS 9.2 fone the apps list is just un eding whereas the G900 being a UIQ 3.0 doesnt hav that many apps as compared to s60v3.

if u can just try out the N82.i think u'll like it.

[gxsaurav]

I only use two 3rd party apps in my phone, Opera Mini & Morange, G900 has Opera mobile & Morange/IM+ is available for UIQ.

I will try to get used to the new keypad, a friend in office has it.

Once you use the native symbian apps, Java apps ll look like sh!t.

i think most of ur questions about n82 have been answered ..

the keypad is not a issue at all .. infact, after using it u will find it very comfortable .. I have big fingers btw ..

black n82 looks sexy.. u said u wont need tv out .. dude, that is great when watching those excellent vga videos recorded with phone cam ..

that excellent 5mp cam with awesome xenon flash ( best in any phone till date ) is a single most reason to go for n82 ..

once u start using symbian os .. u will start using many more apps ..

interesting read abt uiq ..

^^Well, UIQ is not ebing cancelled.there wont be any more UIQ devices "in devolopment", doesnt mean UIQ is dead.2 more UIQ devices to be announced next month. Watch out for the announcements.

[Tamoghno]

Hey dream why you always talk about the future only ? Like

3g will be available within one
month so edge is crap.(even if its available , it'll take many months to deploy , so atleast for now edge still rules. By the way , practically edge gives around 200kpbs compared to 105+kpbs of edge.and 35kpbs of gprs.So edge is not that bad.)

Updates will come to uiq to make it faster (n95 got demand paging , flash lite 3 , faster interface with firmware updates , n82 is new n95 so expect some big updates for n82 also. N81already got flash lite 3 and FP 2 Styled eye candy so n82 will also get that pretty soon.)

Two more uiq device will be announced( no comments here )

^^yea..i do that coz N95 was not perfect when it came out either. N95 original was a disaster. They came up with the 8 gb version and where they cleaned through all the faults and gave it a better battery. So, dotn expect a phone to crop out of nowwhere and start delivering out of nowwhere.

N81 is a flop. it has been accepted everywhere as one.

[Pathik]

Nah it is not. Except for the cam, it kicks ass.

[krazzy]

And N95 was by no means a disaster. Even with the previous buggy firmware people were buying it like crazy. Even now it is selling pretty well. And neither is N81 a flop. That too is selling well.

[dreamcatcher]

N95 sure sold well. But, check some user reviews after they bought it. Batery drained in 4 hours of usage. my friend had bought it and he used to roam with a charger all the itme. then it was slow, laggy and very unstable. Had random reboots all the time..

The n81 has stopped production is many countries and has been removied from the US.

[krates]

^^^

my friend has been using N95 for more than 8 months

he has not faced any prob yet !!!

may be your friend got a faulty onee

[gxsaurav]

I forgot one thing. If I have a touch screen phone with stylus there biggest benefit is that I can draw at anytime on it. Suppose I am in the Metro, many times I m thinking something & I was to draw the design I have in my mind, for that G900's Touchscreen will help a lot.

I am trying my friend's Nokia N82, The buttons need some time in getting used to, let's see. Now I will wait for September end to come & then when I actually have money in Debit A/C, I will talk about it.

[m-jeri]

buy anyone of them ...go see....touch and feel...buy the one u actually like...forget the nos and crap....most features are useless

[dreamcatcher]

^^+1 Atlast a comment that we both share..congrats madjeri .
