Category: My iPhone is now officially fried. I can no longer charge it to its full capacity. I don’t know what happened but it’s been giving me fits. And since I don’t usually linger on a problematic thing, I’ve decided to move on.
There’s an ongoing ‘bitter’ discussion over at gigaom.com on a review he made on the about to be released (to asia at least) Nokia N900 citing it as inferior to iPhone. I got a Finnish officemate who’s gotten his pre-ordered N900 already though he still can’t get his grubby fingers on it as he’s here in the islands and his new N900 phone is waiting for him at his home in Finland. To call him a Nokia fanboy would be just about right, considering that he used for the phone giant before.
Anyway, the Nokia N900 is one of the things that I’m looking at to replace my iPhone. It’s just too bad that it’s not coming out anytime soon here in the Philippines. I was actually in the mall yesterday and looked at some of the Nokia phones on display in the mobile phone stores. Some of the Nokia models look great though there were a few criticisms when I read their reviews. Oh well you can’t get a perfect phone anyway, just look at the iPhone.
As of now, here’s my shortlist of iPhone alternatives. After the incident with my iPhone battery, I think I’m going with a smartphone model that will allow me to change batteries whenever it’s fried. Something that unfortunately I can’t do with the iPhone.
Nokia N900
Blackberry Storm2
Droid by Motorola
HTC Touch Pro 2
SonyEricsson Rachael

i'm curious about the droid.
So, what happened to your iphone? Are you now going to selling it cheap? To me? LOL
z, iphone instead of starbucks?
Är det bara jag som tycker N900n verkar alldeles för klumpig för att användas som mobil och det är för jobbigt att ha 2 olika mobiler.
I don't know if you can get it in the States, but if you can then check out the Palm Pre. It's an iPhone beater!
New Sony Ericsson phone with 12MP camera should be there too
I forget the name but it's a must-have for multimedia phone enthusiast :D
I have a HTC pro2. Kicks Iphone's ass. Here in Holland it's also a lot cheaper than the Iphone. If you want to know more about the phone just let me know.
I like the look of HTC pro. I wanted to get the droid but it doesn't compare to the iphone. The display is to small and even though I like the keyboard, it can't compare to the amount of apps the iphone has.
