Advice Needed - Bye Bye Nokia!

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi Amichai,

I'm in the exact position as you with the same phone, yet I'm not planning
to switch for several reasons:

   - Battery life: Try to find any smart phone which can hold more then a
   day without charging. Good luck with that. I just found this saturday night
   that I forgot to charge my Nokia since Tuesday, and I used it extensivly:
   emails, talking, surfing on the net - and the battery wasn't drained fast.
   - Email and Calendar syncing - I don't know about you, but I'm using
   Google Calendar with my E72, and it pushes the email and calendar perfectly.
   - Yes, Nokia sold their soul to go with Microsoft, so? It's not that
   they're ditching all the E series today, it will take at least a year until
   they'll have some Windows Phone 7 only phones catalog. Meanwhile they will
   continue giving support to your (and mine) phones.
   - My girl friend has Galaxy S, it's great with sync, surfing the net and
   everything, but when it comes to battery life, her phone will "die", while
   my phone will barely drop a single line in the battery indicator.

All in all, it's really how you look at this situation: as a business
man/freelancer or as a private person. I, as a hosting provider, needs my
phone to work in god-knows what conditions, and I need it to work
continuously without reaching for a charger, and my Nokia E72 does that much
better then Galaxy S.
