If I ever found myself wanting a bulletproof phone, I'd reconsider, find myself too optimistic, and get full body bulletproof armour instead. Not as practical to wear, but no bullet is going to ever bounce off a phone in the right direction.

I am happy with N900 and don't have any plan to upgrade for another 2-3 yrs unless Nokia release its bigger cousine of N900 having

1) AMOLED Bigger screen (4.5-5 inch) with multi-touch.
2) Bigger Camera (around 12MP with XEON flash with Camrea Shutter)
3) HD Video recording with minimum 30FPS
4) Faster Processor around 2GHz
5) It has be a MeeGo. Symbian is for novice users
6) It should have "Home", "End", "Tab" and "Delete" keys

I would still have to argue that Opera Mini isn't quite as good at rendering nor as good overall as Dolphin on Android.

Yo mate, I got a couple of question about the galaxy S:

1. Can you send and receive files over Bluetooth easily from a PC?
2. Is there an FTP/SCP server for android 2.1 which could run in the background? allowing me to connect the phone to wifi, and use filezilla to transfer files easily while i'm home?
3. Can you run something like : "Mobile Hotspot" for N900?
4. How is the browsing experience in your opinion?
5. Is the UI fast and smooth? how about VSYNC? is it as smooth as Iphone 3gs is?

Thanks!

I don't have the Samsung Galaxy, but I think most of those are general Android questions I can probably answer:

1. Yes, without rooting. There's plenty of apps to do that using Bluetooth (ie: "Bluetooth File Transfer" is my favorite--works for sending and receiving)
2. Yes, with and without rooting. You could use QuickSSHd (based on dropbear) to support scp or SFTP file transfers.
3. What is "Mobile Hotspot?" Is that a tethering app? If so, with rooting, you can (I use "Barnacle Wifi Tether"). Without rooting, it depends on the phone and carrier and whether they want to allow it. Some phones already have it with Android 2.1. Android 2.2 already has it, unless the ROM image you use (or were given by the carrier) had it taken out. I know the stock image for my Motorola Droid has only USB tethering (not wifi), for example.
4. Comparing to the N900, I can't say. Comparing to the N800, it's leaps and bounds beyond vastness better. It's faster, smoother and in some ways better than my desktop experience with the exception of the screen real-estate of my desktop PC. (Well, I'd say having a keyboard too, except I have a folding full-size keyboard that works with my Droid over bluetooth.)
5. Again, I can't compare to an N900 myself. I might as well leave this for him to answer. Near as I can tell, it's very fluid and works very well and comfortably. I'd say it's easily on par or better than the iPhone 3GS in my opinion, but I never lived with an iPhone 3GS for more than minutes at a time to look at it working.

Hope that at least answered some things.

Aha! Thanks for the informative answer, just 1 more I forgot to ask.

1. Portrait mode, does it work good on android 2.1? can you put the phone upside down? For example on the IPhone 3gs (my gf has one) you can just hold the phone in any way you want, it will adapt.

I was pretty sure you wrote you went for the galaxy S, I would probably get up and go buy it if it had a little better camera, I want a xenon flash, and some more megapixels.
I know MP doesn't really matter, but it still bothers me My N95 beats both N900 and who knows about the Galaxy S.

The main reason I am even looking for a different phone is some hardware problems with N900 (I got no warrenty), and the fact that www.waze.com doesn't run on it.

Let's see if I know. I'm still a noob with it...

1. Can you send and receive files over Bluetooth easily from a PC?
Yes. But I'm using Bluetooth Transfer by Medieval Software though.

2. Is there an FTP/SCP server for android 2.1 which could run in the background? allowing me to connect the phone to wifi, and use filezilla to transfer files easily while i'm home?
3. Can you run something like : "Mobile Hotspot" for N900?
I use Wireless Tether App to make my phone into a wifi router. I can connect to it as I see fit. But I'll have to get back to you on the rest though.

4. How is the browsing experience in your opinion?
Better than iPhone, slightly underneath the N900.

5. Is the UI fast and smooth? how about VSYNC? is it as smooth as Iphone 3gs is?
UI is smooth, there is a EXT2 fix for the UI lag on reading the internal SD card which is noticeable when you first unlock. Hit up XDA-Developers for some more info about that - I'm still learning.

Edit: Ah snap... danramos strikes again!

Portrait mode works fine for me on my Droid. You can choose (in the Android settings) whether to fixate the view in portrait or to allow it to adapt to the way it's being held. I prefer to allow it to adapt, myself. In Android 2.1, you can only display in upright portrait and counter-clockwise landscape. In Android 2.2, you can display in upright portrait and counter-clockwise and clockwise landscape modes (basically, any way you want except upside-down).

No matter what kind of Android phone you get, do yourself a favor and IMMEDIATELY download the "Camera360" application. I highly recommend it and it might even make you consider it a far better picture-taking device if not for the missing flash on some devices.
