Seriously, do not get a hd2 over an n900, i am on an n900 now, after owning an hd2 (amongst others). And i can honestly say that the hd2 was a big let down after the initial honeymoon period wore off. As with any touch screen capacitive phone i've tried, typing is a compromise, especially as it has a big screen, cos you can't confortably hold it in one hand and reach all of the keyboard accurately. IMHO, win mo is not ideally suited to a capacitive screen. so a lot of the gui is downright awkward to use. I dont hate winmo btw, but it needs a stylus to navigate properly. Its not a bad phone, dont get me wrong, but if i would advise someone to get one or the other i would say n900 in a heartbeat.

I certainly hope Nokia do not go exclusive capacitive. An N910 with all the N900 features plus a HD2 sized screen (and a more spacious 4 row keyboard to match) is my idea of the perfect device. Especially if that also means they can fit a larger battery and a slightly thinner device overall.

The N900 hardware wise is almost perfect for my needs, but the screen and keyboard are still a little too small and uncomfortable to use especially for longer periods.

A bit strange to filter subject dilemma on this site. Same like asking WinMo community to defend N900 against HD2. Get on search engine of your choice and read some reviews. That is my verdict o_O.

It has all the same features Skype for Windows Mobile had. For details see this page. . Furthermore, Fring for Symbian has video calls already, maybe they will be added to Windows Mobile too.

It is true

Oh the irony
