HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile 6.5)


So i'd like to say this first, my opinion is unbiased. Anyway, Sony Ericsson's Symbian UIQ3 is now a dead technology, yes it's now open source but it sucked. I tweaked and customized my W950i to the max, i.e hacking it to gain file access to the root etc etc.....same with my HTC Touch Pro, i installed a custom WM 6.5 rom whereas a normal stock version will only be on WM 6.0.

My point is, Sony Ericsson is dying, now it's using Windows Mobile on most of their high end devices, and Satio is just pure crap.

Get the N900, it has more potential and is way more powerful.
Well as for hardware power goes there about the same both have 600mhz arm cortex a8, I think they both have 400mhz 3d accelerator, and they both have 256mb of ram. However the Sony Ericsson Satio would because of 12mp camera with xenon flash vs 5mp camera with dual led flash and records video at better quality and framerate. The Nokia n900 would win because of 32gb of internal memory vs something like 256mb with 8gb microsd card also n900 has a physical keyboard which is a nice touch look a little cramped for my taste but better than onscreen qwerty. Mostly hardware is equal n900 wins because of more storage and Satio wins because of a better camera. Also n900 has 768mb swap file.
