Which handset to Buy ? Nokia N900 or HTC HD2?

Maybe not the best place to ask such a question... :D

Maybe ask Micro$oft instead...? :)

Seriously, for ME there's no other device I'd rather have but that doesn't mean it's the right choice for You... :)

If You know someone whos has an N900 try it out... Same goes for the HD2... ;)

I doubt Google will make apps for Maemo since it's a competitor to Android...

Hmmm,

as you can see, people are working on various apps for N900. But even, when they will be available, you will not have PROBABLY some features like MMS (maybe you're using them often now...). The truth is that N900 is "step 4 of 5" and you can have some issues at least in next few months.

From the other hand: Win Mobile 6.5 (HTC HD2) is still Win Mobile with some disadvantages (Win Mobile 7 is expected to be released in the end of 2010).

Maybe you should think about some Android device then ? There are few nice models already and HTC should have few killer models in next few months :D All very Google related.

If not, you have only iPhone with own issues (closed OS or breaking it with each next release) or maybe Omnia HD/N97 with Symbian.

I'm afraid, that you should check each one and select device, which is the best in YOUR opinion. Or wait at least few months ;)

I had this decision too.(Let me tell you from the heart) it all comes down to personal taste. I've had them all... if u want something fresh
this may be your best bet.

1.What you want
2.Yup
3.I hope at least Google Maps (thats my prayer)
4.That unknown (they haven't been any announcements)
5.The N900 is cheaper with out a plan

hope i helped

N900 has farly superior Operation System. I'd like to see a person who would volenterily use Windows and Internet Explorer on their phone. There are not that many applications for Maemo 5, but there will be probably a larger amount in the future.

That sounds a bit weird... So You're saying that all memory cards destroy the data on them sooner or later?

The resistive display is really good actually. No multitouch, but for me it is nice to be able to use stulys etc. Especially when surfing the web, you can really take advantage of the high resolution and accuracy to hit those links. I hate the zooming/unzooming on other phones.

I think we will get more options for the maps after OVI store opens and Nokia will probably develop the OVI maps further too in the coming months.

N900 is still clearly a work in progress, so you would have to deal with that. On the other hand it is most definitely the platform with most potential at the moment.

If you are a real Google fan you could also wait for the Nexus One. I would think they will try to provide best possible integration to Google apps.

I don't know which google apps are available for android devices. But you can use all google apps that are available on the internet. Ok, google maps is quite hard to use, but all others work very well for me (googe docs/mail for example) on the N900.

Btw. I think google has now the same status as Microsoft, people can't live without it ^^;.

Re: Which handset to Buy ? Nokia N900 or HTC HD2?
 

i would go with the hd2 as its os is more refined than the n900 but thats my choice.

as others have said, its mostly personal taste. i like windows mobile because it has a lot of software already, easier to install programs, and you can install customs roms. i think the n900 will have a steeper learning curve if you have never delved into maemo/linux before.

u sound chaotic. go for hd2. less to break.
