so now we have "android phones" and "iphone" (which is like... 1) but winmo phones (of which there are like 1000x more) go into "other"? and the same goes for symbian phones... hummmm

deppends on what you need in a phone... if you're a typer, then you need a good qwerty. blackberry is good, but their dataplans are expensive. never the less, for emailing you won't find anything better EXCEPT a winmo phone paired with an exchange server 2007+ which does push to mail, which is what I'm using now (exchange servers are pretty rare outside of the corporate environment tho, definitely not available with web hosting companies

). never the less when the BB magnum gets out, it will go back on blackberry.

if you want a bit of everything, check out symbian on the nokia e72, for instance, or for smaller phones the e52, e55, e75... or check winmo on samsung b7330 omnia pro.

not to start a shitstorm here, but I don't see why people like iphones... they're like... huge, have no keyboard, they were pretty much shit on incorporated technology (do they have gps yet?) and expensive. other then the really cool touchscreen (not alone on the market anymore) and agressive marketing, it has nothing going on for it. IMO... unless you hang out on youtube all day (but even then you need to only view files, as anything done with that shitty camera is not uploadable material) you the iphone's not worth a second thought. actually, in europe things are completely different in what iphones go, 9 out of 10 people only buy an iphone for the hip factor.

if you're into touchscreen-only phones, HTC has now waaaay better alternatives, and while android is promissing is still too young to be considered and while it will definitely gain a huge market share, for now it's not worth it either (new os rev. coming up soon tho so that might change)

personally, for me at this point winmo does the trick like no other. you can basically find EVERYTHING you can dream of for it, and while NOT without faults, it's getting better lately and it's worth having a look, from a webster's pov - if only for the synchronization options that go with MS os's
