Need Opinons....

I'm getting a new phone by end of this month (hopefully) and i have a big headache now.

Currently i have a choice of Nokia N82 and HTC Touch (2nd Generation). Anyone who is using either one of the phones listed, please give me your comment. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Around the same price, but totally different beast. Nokia N82 is good if you want a phone that works more like a phone. HTC Touch is a Windows Mobile phone, has touch screen.

I fell in love with my HTC TyTN II, I can't see myself not using another WM based phone in the future.

... TyTN II ah... jealous....

anyway...Symbian S60 or Windows Mobile?

If i sacrifice touch screen, i would get better camera and 3G and GPS function.

My main goal is to actually get Touch. But after i saw the N82 which is around the same price... my head goes nuts. Both have Wi-Fi and that's the main important thing actually in my next phone. Other than that like software, i still need some time to compare it and also get more comments on both phones from you guys.

Try out the touch interface. Some like it, some don't. IMHO, this is the deal breaker. If you like the touch interface, get the HTC Touch. If not, get the N82.

I think N82 is much better for u, but dun expect the GPS to work like ur average GPS device.

I had seriously considered the N82 as it currently have all the great features one likely desires BUT:

1. I don't like the keypad layout and wish it had a joystick
2. The current price: on the high side. I won't mind if it was somewhere sub RM1.1k max. Don't even think of Zitron price..MURDER!.
3. Black one may not be easily available.
4. The build quality is not as good as K850i.
5. Hate browser navigation on the internet.
6. SE doesn't have one like N82. I'm so wanting a SE this time.
Lazy to list out a few more quibbles.
Entirely MY PERSONAL VIEW.
Sorry for not mentioning anything about PDA phones..I'm not into it.
Conclusion: I'm not buying either right now. I can't have the K850 and N82 all in one for good money.

W960? Not worth it. X1? It's not out yet.

If it's me, I'll personally try out both the phones on the spot..Easier to decided...Currently using a smartphone..Kinda hook to WM based cellphones already xD But then you already did mention that you don't like pda based cellphone which only left you back with 1 choice~~ Nokia N82 =/
