Sunday, December 07, 2008thank god i got the samsung eternity for $150.00 with a quick ui, full ts, and wicked fast data. the facebook mobile sight is good enough! no need for a panel! expensive gimmicky stuff. thank god i strayed away from wm. now lets see what the n85 or n97 have to offer. there is nothing stable worth spending 500+ out there right now. my eternity is doing me just fine and get lots of wow factor.

1/8/2009 12:04:16 AMamerican version? it's really a satire to amricans. lol, is that bcoz you use Fahrenheit? gimme a break. and Y doesnt sony ericsson select symbian os? that would be much faster and smarter than using a windows mobile, you know, X1 inludes a lot 3D applacations. so that's y i gave up X1 while having bought a nokia. (donot mention iphone, it's 4 kids and dumb Doras)

1/6/2009 3:18:58 PM"5 mp camera" a good cam is not just the pixel number!! "640x360 resolution". X1 has got 800 x 480 Pixel! "great slide out keyboard." I don´t want to know how fast the slide out is breaking It looks too thin, The Nokia is too big! X1 is metal finished, N97 is PLASTIC! Battery life on a Nokia is NEVER as strong as on an Sony! And Nokia is going to be more expensive. Who needs so big memory? You never watch so much movies thru an mobilephone! I´ve melted your Pros about the N97!

1/4/2009 6:23:35 AMHTC Touch Pro or Diamond are better. Trust me. Alternatively, go straight for the HTC Touch HD. The Experia is laggy, slow and fiddly. The HTC phones incorporate the similar features as the Experia but they are faster and more accessible and the software is flushed more efficiently with the harware.

1/3/2009 7:28:55 PMThe iPhone?? Why would you even say that? You know full well that the iPhone falls way, way short in terms of features, & even looks. I even own the Iphone 3G, so I am not an Apple hater. I do however, call it like I see it, & the iPhone is just a great UI packed into a mediocre handset.

1/2/2009 4:19:25 PMuhm, 32 gb on board and 32 gb micro sd card. 5 mp camera, with auto focus and flash. 640x360 resolution. great slide out keyboard. this phone is nothing compared to n97, when it comes out it will be the best phone in the market but the downside is it will be the most expensive.
