I bought the i8910 on Orange last months. It pretty much does everything I want. The camera and video are prefectly acceptable for everyday use and browsing on the large touch screen is a good experience, although I did end up installing Opera as it’s quicker. Much of my use is for handheld navigation using Viewranger Maps. My only slight niggle is the lack of apps when compared to Nokia – but I hope Samsung continue to develop their apps store, and stick some more free apps on there.

Competition among mobile manufacturers particularly for Symbian S60 is definitely very very good for us consumer. Meaning more more choices that makes us empowered to select what best for us. In my case, I end up choosing nokia 5800 because most of the features in high end phone are present at the same much cheaper than high end smartphones like iphone, samsung omnia, etc. Most of all competition is very good.

Fair point. Although Samsung and Nokia are trying to win customers over in two diffirent ways. Nokia wants to give them an ecosystem with Ovi and a complete experience, Samsung on the other hand is focusing on aspects that have some degree of flaunt value, something that will become a selling point faster.

In my opinion, the path Nokia’s taking is a little slower, but which will help them in the long run.

Nokia appear to be pushing the slide out keyboard and Ovi services, so does Samsung. But the question is: what are consumers looking for right now?
We’re not talking about a device to be launched in 2 years, so we must think about what consumers want now, and I think that Samgung devices can do very well all the multimedia stuff that a Nokia devices does, but I think people’s main worries when buying a new mobile phone is the camera quality, and in this area Samsung is way far better than any other.

I speak for myself, I own a Nseries and the camera quality is miserable; when I have a Samsung device in my hands I can take awesome quality pictures, and if I want to get access to my e-mail or web it works perfectly too, so.. Which Nokia device has to offer better than this Samsung device, for example? I guess nothing.. Plus, don’t forget that this is a S60 device, like any other Nokia smartphone.

Finally, I allways see people comparing Nokia devices to iPhone or Blackberry, maybe you should start remembering that Samgung exists and it is already the #2 on the mobile phones market.
