SE P810/900 Or the XDA II?

---

Hi, i am new here, do you guys know about the rumors of the Sony Ericsson p810/900?? i was thinking which one is better, the p810/900 or the XDA II?

as i see it the xda both 1 and 2 are pda's with cellphone
and pXXX is a cellphone with some pda stuff

guess it all comes down to
du you pref windows CE or symbian

personaly i like CE because i can get tons of software for it
and make software for it myself

and xdaX's display is bigger

but at the end of the day it's a matter of taste

compare nokia 3650 to xda

sybian sucks

p800 to the xda

sybian sucks still

so make your mind up lol

ewww... sybian really suxs that much? lol

So i shld says that The Xda Rox! huh? haha.. hmm, guys, when will the XDA II be available in singapore?? i hope really really soon... wanna buy one :roll:

should come out over there but id best get saving if i was you lol it aint cheap

gaz

yea, already started saving man.. hehe.. i know its not going to be cheap.. haha...

Now, now... Symbian doesn't suck.

We did some development for it a while ago (on the Nokia 9210). And yes, I can say forst-hand that the Symbian consortium has been bad about provding information to developers. But despite the (mostly organizational) flaws, in some ways Symbian is a nicer OS than WinCE/PocketPC. For instance in dealing with low-memory (= low-cost) platforms, in providing snappy user response or in having long figured out all the phone things that only recently have been done somewhat right on the XDA (volumes, ringtones, sms, etc.)

Anyway: OS-wars are sooooo nineties. A true hacker can do his magic independent of the underlying OS, and only those that know they can never master more than one OS will fight to defend theirs.

And yes: I'm getting an XDA-II. I wouldn't want the P800 as a PDA. But to be honest, there have been times in my life where the XDA has really sucked as a phone (not 100% reliable in signal aquisition, hangs sometimes), and the display does get smudged with ear-grease (or am I the only one...).

Yeah, thats my only qualm with the xda that I have! Its just such a hassle to clean the screen again after making calls. They could have done it the 9210 style, with the mic and earpiece at the back of the device. luckily I have a brando screen protector, so i don't worry when i wipe the screen with my shirt!

Cheers!

i got a proporta metal case for mine so buttons and all are accessable without having to undo the phone
