Acer Neotouch versus Samsung Omnia 2 vs the rest

[schueyisking]

So....i've had enough of my awful ipaq 614c with its small screen. It's virtually impossible to text properly on it using your fingers.

In the £300-£350 price point lies 2 phones that both look good - i have no idea which one is better.

THe acer has that 1ghz snapdragon processor, the samsung has an 800mhz. I know cpu isnt the last word when it comes to performance, so which one is likely to perform better with WIndows 6.5??

Which phone is better? Any other phones in that price point coming with windows 6.5 and a snapdragon or equivalent?

I was having the same debate as well. One of my favorite WM phones ever was a samsung, and I know they have high quality phones. I have also had HTC which I feel are very good, but now too pricey and leaving the US market out in the cold.

My current phone is an f900 from Acer. Build quality was Average, and it seemed to work quite well once I got a light rom to save memory space. I really can't complain about it, and if I hadn't messed up a button and had to send it in for repair, I might have kept using it into next year.

However to keep it short, I made my decision on the neotouch, unfortunely though, I haven't recieved it yet. But when I saw the difference in the benchmarks for the two phones, I knew that the snapdragon made it for me. The quality is reportedly higher than the f900, and the power is astounding. For the price, I just don't know that any other phone compares. I would've waited for an HTC HD2, but they are delaying the US release and it was going to cost nearly double. I seem to upgrade phones every year, so I figured what comes out after a year of the snapdragon, will blow away the HD2.

I'll let you know whether I have buyer's remorse or not when I get the phone.
