XPERIA coming up in September.Samsung OMNIA.The E90 sucks bigtime.Get the XPERIA.Nokia sucks at high end PDAs.

[nish_higher]

I don't think any of those has a keyboard.thats why i don't wanna go the Htc way.
I'd prefer an alternative rather than cursing nokia for their phones.e90 is good.true there might be a better alternative and i'll be glad if someone suggests one

[amitava82]

X1 has keyboard. Im waiting..

[nish_higher]

What?really? when is it going to be launched?

Edit-yea it does.i'm the one who forgot the specs just bcoz of no news of release.i remember now

[Pathik]

E90 is outdated now. Get an Xperia X1 or better still, a Touch pro

[amitava82]

Dunno about release date. Take a look here

Would you stop the 'Nokia sucks' non-sense now? It's getting on my nerves. There is not an iota of truth in your post. While SE struggles to get it's W960i off the shelves, Nokia is selling it's high end phones by the ship-load. Apparently you are the only one around who has a problem with Nokia. Honestly dude, if you have a problem with Nokia then you might wanna consider not posting in these threads.

@OP, get the E90 only if you want a large QWERTY keyboard and/or an Ultra wide display. Trust me, you won't find a better web browsing, ebook reading, document viewing/editing experience on any other phone. But if you don't use all those functions fully, then you'll just be lugging around lots of unnecessary weight. In that case the N95 8gb makes much more sense. Or you might want to wait for the upcoming N96/C905.

@krazzy-He wanted a PDA coz he needed the QWERTY keyboard.Now, shelling out 35k for that piece of **** is insane, when you have alternatives ready for you.The HTC TOUCH PRO, XPERIA offer much better software and hardware support than the E90 which has nothing mor to offer than the presence of a QWERTY.So if you are thinking of a "PDA" then bunk the E90.

Some people here need to understand the difference between a PDA and a smartphone.Newaz.

[nish_higher]

well yea i missed this-i need good email,surfing and nothing else.
Wifi is must and the N96 is not my cup of tea.coz i'm more than happy with a candybar phone that i already own-the great N73me.and i never use phone camera for taking pics except for a few..
qwerty keyboard is what i'm looking for..x1 seems promising but they don't even have a release date which s****.

[amitava82]

So, do you need a phone or anything else will do for that? Coz for internet n email on the go, N810 Kick ass.

[nish_higher]

something that makes calls too

None of the other phones on the market, or even slated for launch in the near future have a display the size of the one in the E90. Nor are their keypads as big. All you people complain about the size and weight of the E90 but it is these same factors which give the E90 near laptop-like comfort on the move.

That's why Nokia made it big. Not because it has a lot of stuff inside. It hardly has anymore than an E51. But a bigger device offers better comfort. Simple.

OP, I stick with what I said in my first post. If web browsing, email, documents, ebooks, hammering nails in walls, knocking out people is what you intend to do, then there is nothing better than the E90 now.

[nish_higher]

^thanks..i'll wait for few days to find something else otherwise pics of my new E90 will be posted here

also x1 might be the best phone when launched,or may not be,but application support depends when the phone is launched.ok the usual outlook and ms stuff will be there.

[amitava82]

Make sure you buy some cargoes.

[dreamcatcher]

Well.E90 has a 4 inch QVGA display while the XPERIA has a 3 inch WVGA display.I would vouch for a display with better sharpness and brightess than a bigger but duller display

Then at the same price you get these extras:-

1)256 MB ram for your tasks compared to E90s 128 mb
2)528 mhz 7201M qualcomm processor compared to E90s 328 Mhz Omap 2xxx pro
3)Touchscreen
4)SE's intuitive panel functionality and grat sound quality and software implementation by SE
5)Auto rotate
6)Walkman 3
7)HSDPA @7.2 MHz
1500 mAh Li-Po batt compared to E90's crappy Li-Ion

[nish_higher]

but when?thats my main question

@amitava i have those.coz i owned the previous brick

[amitava82]

Sometime later this year. But don't bother if you have Sh!T load of money. Buy E90 now and later on you can buy X1 when it comes out..

What about iPhone?

[nish_higher]

^i phone-well i was actually looking for one but seems my search is over

[dreamcatcher]

XPERIA-SEPT 24th

The outer display in E90 is a 2" QVGA. The inner display is 800x352 4".

Having higher RAM is always better, but the 128mb RAM in E90 is more than enough the OS does not need as much. People have tried exhausting that much RAM by running all the apps at once still they were unsuccessful. Meaning there is no shortage of RAM in E90.

HSDPA performance is irrelevant in India as there are no signs of 3G yet, leave alone HSDPA.

E90 also has a 1500 mAh battery which has been know to provide more than adequate power.

Agree with everything else though. Bear in mind you are comparing a phone which is more than a year old with one that hasn't been launched yet. That's hardly a fair comparison.

[nish_higher]

camera is also the same i must say.and i've read in the reviews that the phone does not lag at all in multitasking and the browser is good.but not the documentation capability,which i don't need.but if 24th is for sure and the phone will be available before 10th october,i can wait.

[amitava82]

It is not about comparison. We are choosing a better phone and X1 is gonna be better that E90. I can't even imagine to carry around a 200g brick size phone when I can get a better phone which has more features, fast, comfort, look, and easy on pocket.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Wait for X1.

However, E90 is not that bad as some ppl here cries.

Its a good phone to work with.

[krazzy]

Fine then. If he is willing to wait then X1 is what he should get. If it has to be now, then E90 it is. Then there is also the all time awesome N95 8gb.

[nish_higher]

cmon someone confirm the date.
Its not that i'm buying it.i just want to compare and buy whats best for me

Fast! Thats the most important thing here

[thelordrrulzzz]

the xperia looks for a great buy...It would be better to wait till it is launched
