Have you still got sand in your ***** about the BBC report? Or the fact that Symbian had UMTS support three years before Windows Mobile? |

Windows Mobile phones had GPRS before Symbian phones, now Windows Mobile are back leading and Windows Mobile phones have HSDPA before Symbian phones. Users should not buy Symbian phones therefore. It's as easy as that. Let's talk about NOW anyway and let's not dwell on past, oh key? |

And HSDPA is the only reason to buy a phone? How about good battery life, 3Mpx autofocus camera, WiFi, 352 x 416 - 256kc display, weight below 120g. Name me even one candybar 3G Windows Mobile smartphone, which has at least two of these things. Welcome back to the reality. |

HTC Tornado (Qtek 8310/i-mate SP5) has WiFi and weighs 107 g, but misses out 3G 
You are right. I really miss a new WM Smartphone that can compete with the new Symbian devices from Nokia. When I bought my C500 a couple of years ago it was smaller, lighter and had a bigger display than the competition from Nokia, plus Symbian was only able to play back MP3's in mono.
Apart from the plusses and minusses of the different OS'es, the only thing e.g. the HTC MTeoR has that the Nokia N73 hasn't got is a 4 mm thinner body and it's even more expenssive.
With the N95 probably announced by Nokia later this month (which should add HSDPA, GPS and WiFi to the N73's specs), HTC would really have to pull something big out of their sleeves to catch up. Don't get me wrong, I really hope they do, since I like the WM OS, but unfortunately I don't think it will happen. |

My current phone is MTeoR and the thinness is what I like most in it. Actually I didn't have much choice when I wanted to have a 3G candybar Windows Mobile phone. To be more close to Nokia models MTeoR should have at least 3Mpx camera and WiFi. It's also a bit heavy compared to Tornado.

GPS is one thing HTC need to get to Smartphones and fast. And each and every future model must have WiFi and support HSDPA. Any non-3G phone is absolutely unacceptable. I'm not sure if even Nokia can do a small GPS phone and who really needs WiFi in candybar sized phone. But it's not really about who needs all these features, it's about whose phone has these all.
It's not really a battle between Symbian and Microsoft. It's a battle between Nokia and HTC. And it really does not look too good for HTC. You can forget about Motorola and Samsung. Their release pace is much too slow and they don't have enought different Windows Mobile models. |

are u ok?? are u sick?? 1st, you said it' battle between Nokia and HTC THEN you said "You can forget about Motorola and Samsung. Their release pace is much too slow and they don't have enought different Windows Mobile models"
so how many different Windows Mobile models does NOKIA have??
u also said "It's a battle between Nokia and HTC. And it really does not look too good for HTC" dont u mean it does not look too good for NOKIA instead? all Nokia does is pump out the same xxx with different size and shape and calls it a new model! |

What I ment to say was that it's not battle between *Nokia* and *HTC, Motorola, Samsung*, but battle between *Nokia* and only *HTC*.

Well, that seems to be what sells well. Besides all S60 phones are 3G and have Wifi. Can you say the same about Windows Mobile? Only one 3G Smartphone and it does not have Wifi and has only 1.3Mpx camera. Personally, I think HTC phones look better than Nokia phones, though.
And if we compare Symbian UIQ with Pocket PC then UIQ is phones a much smaller. When is HTC going to introduce something as cool as Sony Ericsson W950? |

this guy is quite funny 
well, htc offers HSDPA _ready_ devices. and htc tynt je quite fine device.
however, people are not buying it that much.
symbian is way more popular and bette
even linux based devices are selling considerable better then WM based devices.
another example is that, there is no company selling WM based devices among biggest 5 vendors of converged devices.
htc was overtaken even by japanese companies like sharp, sanyo, matsushita selling exlusiveli in japanese FOMA network |

well, I know people who got HSDPA at T-Mobile UK without buying "PRO" version of the tariff. You must just have bad luck. |
