Hey guys, i 'm having a difficult time making up my mind on which Smartphone should i buy? preferably touchscreen,...
BashLogic
the term smart phone is a matter of interpretation.
please specify your requirements and budget.
having a touch screen does not imply that the phone is a smart phone.
I am using N900 and I am satisfied with it.

I'm using an iPhone 3gs but I think An android Is great Phone but the stronge point about the iPhone is his apps and if you don't need apps I suggest a nexus one
crazy
I suggest you wait for the android 3.0 on the new HTC devices that should come in Q4 2010 ;)
babum
I also suggest waiting, the nokia n8 is coming with the new version of symbian, making prices drop.
I wouldnt recommend the nokia x6, as it is a very delicate phone that can't handle a fall.

I am using an iPhone 3GS, I am very satisfied, however I'm thinking if trying an Android, maybe Nexus One or on an HTC.
azife
yea me too if you like to play games go for the iphone 4
abouelchich
hmm.. as i understood by far the iphone is recommended for its apps , the Android is a promising OS yet what is its distinctive feature?
EddieEC
Android is nice, but it doesn't satisfy me as much as my iPhone did. I have a Nexus One. The apps aren't very good quality. 95% of the apps are bad quality. I like the iPhone more. I'd suggest an iPhone 3GS or the new iPhone 4. Android has many cool features, is a good OS, but I think the iPhone's OS is better for apps and all that stuff.

Why dont you try a blackberry, I know they are really crappy phones, but the push mail is quite a functionality and you get 500mb internet, which come in handy whenever you need to search something on the go.

by paying 40 $ /month , no thanks!

in case you want an iPhone 4 you must pay attention that it requires MicroSim, a smaller sim card that is not available in Lebanon, however there are plenty of guides surfing the internet telling you how to make your own Microsim

The Nexus One is a true bijoux!!
I absolutly love it.
If you are the kind of user who get bored from a phone quickly buy the N1 because with a new big OS update every 6 months and Custom Roms every day you will never get bored (it needs some geek pleasure to unlock then flash Roms)
The only negative point is that alfa's wap doesn't support Android because they are too lazy to upgrade their software system,anyway you can still use GPRS if you have normal line

Alfa and MTC doesn't support iPhone either, however there is a way to bypass this on the iPhone :)
EddieEC
If you're talking about WAP yeah they don't support it unless you fill in the APN info. GPRS-wise you just activate the service, and put gprs.mtctouch.com.lb as APN and leave username and password empty, and turn off 3G. That's for MTC at least.
vegetaleb
I have Alfa and I filled correctly the WAP APN from their own settings but it will not connect,it's the user agent that doesn't support the 1995 data connection that Alfa proudly use OR the Lebanese wap proxy that is ''banned'' from Google,that would explain why the Edge data works(without proxy)!
I hope the next network companies will FORMAT the entire data plans structure,because ALL the networks in the world WAP,Edge or 3G work perfectly with the Nexus One,this is really getting ridiculous
babum
just a little question, isnt the blackberry service being used under edge?
vegetaleb
BB internet is as slow as wap...in Lebanon of course

vegetaleb wroteBB internet is as slow as wap...in Lebanon of course
Don't misinform people. The BIS is running on EDGE and is definitely faster than WAP.

nothing beats a good hard-keyboard on a smartphone
touchscreen and stupid transition animations are overrated
