| i am just not impressed by Blackberry for some reason. My brother has one and so do like 50 people in my office. It has become more of a fashion to carry blackberry rather than to use it. |

So i had sold my old Nokia E61i and went out and got Nokia E75. Mixed feelings about it. The phone is smart, light weight and really fast to operate but it does funny things time to time. Like it will just get stuck while sending an SMS and you would have to restart the phone. The Mail For Exchange will only update your Inbox emails and not other folders. Oh and the battery life is not that great.
I still like the phone alot and am using it for almost a year now but time for some change. I saw HP GListen and somewhat liked it. Can i get a unlocked GListen shipped to Pakistan ? I can't find it here.
Suggestions/Advice welcome :)
My use is very heavy. Long SMS, Emails tons of phone calls. Opening Powerpoint presentations and complex Excel files etc etc so need something that will support all of that for my office. |

Nokia N8

The phone looks pretty damn interesting. The hardware stats look great, and the idea of an open OS are nice. I'm not sure how Symbian^3 will be, considering reports have said that Symbian^1 was a POS.
Insane battery life, amazing connectivity, OpenGL for gaming, 720p recording/playback...
Nokia is putting some stock into this one by supporting the new Symbian. Funny since they have merged the memeo project with IBM's netbook OS to try and take on Android/Apple. |

| No Cortex A8/A9 architecture = no go for me. Everything else is just too slow, Snapdragon included. Even at 1GHz. The Snapdragon is like the Pentium 4 of mobile CPUs, high freqs but really not that impressive. |

What phones are they in? I'm looking to replace my iPhone 3g with something with fewer restrictions. |

Motorola Droid/Milestone, Palm Pre/Pre Plus, Samsung Omnia HD, Nokia N900, Samsung i9000 Galaxy S (this one rocks a 1GHz A8!), Samsung S8500 Wave (1GHz as well), Sony-Ericsson Satio... I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them or care to find them. THese are the big ones, at least.
Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is the sweetest looking piece of hardware in a while. |

Is this saying that the Milestone is actually faster (in practice) than the Nexus One, X10 and so on? It definitely holds its own, but it does seem to get out of breath every now and then.
Not that it really matters to me at this point but is there a benchmark of some kind comparing these? |

Nah. The Snapdragon at 1GHz is quicker than a 600MHz Cortex A8 platform. Having used both a Milestone and Nexus One, I'd say they're both fairly equivalent in daily, normal use.
Now a 1GHz A8, that'll generally be quicker than a Snapdragon at the same clock freq. Comparing two phones head to had though is like apples to oranges, since they all use various system-on-a-chip designs with either the Cortex A8 or a Qualcomm unit (as is the case with the Snapdragon) as the CPU, various graphics chips (PowerVR SGX series being fairly common), GPS, wireless radios, etc.
There are benchmarks out there, though. For example, I believe it was Anandtech that pitted the iPad's Apple A4 (which is a 1GHz Cortex A8-based SOC) against the Nexus One, and it showed the A4 as besting the Snapdragon SOC in almost everything. Mind you, a fair bit of that can be attributed to the high-end PowerVR graphics chip in the A4s packaging to help render webpages and such. |
