Advice Needed - Bye Bye Nokia!

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

And did you downgrade your MFE to 2.9 from 3.0, as 3.0 doesn't work well
with Google Apps?

>    - 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.

>> Hello all,
>>
>> I need you advice, before I make a horrible mistake - so please bear with
>> me and don't flame.... ;-)
>>
>> I recently opened a small business and wanted a smartphone with a
>> dedicated line.
>>
>> I ended up buying a Nokia E72 (about 2 months ago). It's an OK phone, but
>> it has a few problems.
>>
>> Then Nokia made their announcement (as I am sure almost all of you know)
>> about the future OS, so I got mad and even though I always used Nokia phnes
>> (since my first Nokia 6120D back in the mid '90s) I am willing to switch...
>>
>> A friend of mine recommends the Samsung Galaxy S - a very good choice for
>> my needs: Runs Android 2.2 and works perfectly with Push for mail and
>> calendar sync (the Nokia isn't so great in that department...)
>>
>> I now have to find a way to cancel my Nokia E72 purchase and switch to the
>> Galaxy. I also heard about some kind of a "Big Brother" issue with Android
>> devices?
>>
>> Any of you know how to get out of the Nokia purchase? The Galaxy wasn't
>> available at the time.
>> Am I making a mistake? Is this a smart move?
>> Is it really a good phone?
>>
>> Thanks!
>>
>> Amichai.
