need recommendation. i've been a good kid lately and my dad is offering me a new high end phone.
important specs : WiFi & 3G enable.
so here's what in my head.
1. Iphone 3G
2. SE X1
3. LG Renoir
4. Samsung OMNIA
5. Nokia 5800
6. HTC Touch Pro
however, i can only choose one

so which one should i pick?
I will put it in strengths and weaknesses
1. Good: Huge screen, awesome User interface/OS, Ipod, Apps store /needs to be jailbroken (which voids warranty) to unlock full potential
Bad: (standard OOB) No BT data No MMS No copy paste, no extra batt can be inserted, crap camera
2. Good: Sexy build, High Resolution, Multiple UIs can be installed over OS, Highly configurable (its a WinMo what do u expect), Curve Physical keyboard and good set of physical buttons
Bad: (standard OOB) Takes ages to make it work right (as in your own customised X1), LOW speakers...bah, recessed screen, lack of goodies (what not even a damn wiper)
3. No comment as I have never tested this phone..
4. Good: Huge Screen and High Resolution, Multiple UIs, Acc meter works well, Works well right out of the box (as in no need to customise so much as x1)
Bad: Bulky, FMG is...., Not enough physical buttons
5. Good: 3.2 touchscreen size, strong speakers, large capacity for media (OOB), can play Flash within browser, cheap
Bad: UI sucks as hell (Nokia is horrible at touchscreen and they still are - S60 overlay over a touchscreen -PHAIL), accelmetre oversensitive, browser is laggy, processor is so slow 377MHz meh, camera is poor, audio quality is worse than the cheapest SE Walkman phone, poor phone call audio quality too... list goes on.
6. HTC TP
Good: Multiple UIs can be installed, works well right out of the box, TF3D ROM, Flatter Physical keyboard with full set
Bad: lack of physical buttons
So it's your decision, but I would recommend 1 if you're a true multimedia fan (music and vids) and love multi-touch . 2 or 6 if you need a fully customisable and proven touchscreen PDA phone with keyboard, 4 if you want full screen instead of physical keyboard and 5 if you're going on a budget and all you need is a Iphone wana-be.
