So it has been 6 months, anything else out there yet? I've been told I need to get some kind of smart phone by the end of the year for work. It needs to work on Verizon, but should hopefully be a "world phone" as there is a decent chance I'll be doing a fair amount of travel next year.
Last week I used an Android (Samsung Galaxy) for a few days while traveling. While the hardware overall was pretty nice, the software and customization seemed to be pretty lacking. Multi-tasking and app switching sucked compared to the N800,even though the screen was almost the same size as the N800 it felt a lot smaller since everything had to be big enough to touch with a finger instead of a stylus. I hate, hate, hate that apps are installed that you can not uninstall without rooting your phone. The list could go on, but I think you get the idea.
The N800 to me is just about perfect. I like the overall size (wouldn't mind a slightly larger screen, and smaller speakers, but that's nitpicking), I love that it is stylus friendly meaning I don't have to zoom in to touch something and then zoom back out again to actually read it, and overall I think the software is better than any other mobile OS I've seen.
So what else out there is at least almost as good that I can get on Verizon?
