I am considering of getting a new phone in the new year, however I am not sure which one to get. One of the these phones, or just get a iPhone?The phone in questions are HTC Touch HD, LG KC910 Renoir, Nokia N97, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and Samsung Omnia.
Due to the many consideration and the number of pictures I am not able to fully explain here, you can go to my blog post for this, it could be found under my profile under the title of rise of the iphone killers.
I hope you would be able to provide me your valuable opinion about the phones.

I'll ask you the same line of questions I always ask myself when I'm in the market to get a new phone... Why do you want an I-Phone? Is it purely for looks or is it certain function that no other phone has? Just because someone else have it? Main uses you're gonna use the phone for? I found myself asking those very same questions about a year ago... Because of my work, I had to get a "smart phone"... After everything being said & done, I ended up with blackberry pearl 8120... I couldn't bring myself to get more expensive phone because the phone I got did pretty much everything I needed a phone to do... I used to carry a simple samsung slider phone... Phone was so basic that it didn't even have bluetooth on it but I was happy with the phone because I didn't have to drive & talk on the phone that much at the time... It's just a personal opinion but when I was on the market for the new phone, I've tried my friend's I-Phone, older version & new 3g version, & didn't like it... If anything, I'd go with Nokia N97...

hello sk66rc,
Well I had tried on a iphone, however I really do not feel that is a great urge to want to own one. I am not sure if you check out all the specs of the phones, I think LR Renoir might be the one that would be the best among the lot. However am not able to get a test one of the set so I really have not decided.
8MP camera is of course a major plus then I would not have to get a separate camera or bring along one more piece of equipment in my pocket.

i recommend you get the htc touch or the n97..iphone is just like having your ipod with call and text features but you cant share your stuff. and it takes a lot of effort to tweak or modify the iphone if you want something done to it.

I guess iPhone is more of a accessory, it looks nice but it really does not help the techies. I guess it is one thing to make you look good. However the other phones are the ones that really pack in the power.
Well htc uses windows and then n97 uses sybian. two very different platform. I am still deciding on which one I one but the LG looks good.
