Off course TomTom is better - it's the BEST

So why not install TomTom for the S60 operating system. Then you get the best of two worlds!
I know it will cost a bit more up front, but if you are using GPS navigation regularly I am sure you save in the end.

Camera failings

5mega pixels.....
It may say this on the label.
It may say it on the CCD.

HOWEVER, this and practically EVERY other mobile phone camera I have seen or heard of do something very silly.
They all compress the images too much, losing precious quality.

I dont understand why the manufacturers think it neccessary to do that, after all, most of the decent camera phones have a memory card slot, so space is no longer an issue.

Even with my cameraphone set to the highest quality, the 2 megapixel camera only actually performs like a 1.3mp camera.

OK, sure enough camera phones dont have decent zoom, flash (usually) or many useful features, but they are still nice to have with you, I just wish they would not compress the files so much.

Not really true

Those powerhouse smartphones are a bit of a bluff: they are so feature packed that they actually miss the point.

But, it seems that the future doesnīt belong to how the work. But which "imago" they create.

In this comparison, there should be another device that does almost all of it but GPS [depending on the country], and is going to be a winner:

LG Prada

Letīs be honest: at 700 bucks, they HAVE to look as being 700 bucks, and the LG is hard to beat.

what was the purpose in this comparison?
by lvirden May 23, 2007 11:47 AM PDT
You compare music against the nano on sound , probably because it is envisioned as "the best". The camera comparison is against the canon, which you said was the best. And you compare the sat-nav against tom-tom, supposedly the best. So why not compare the phone against the best, instead of comparing it against "the extremely basic" F3? And is the iPaq considered the best of the PDAs? Either do the entire comparison against the best, or do the entire comparison against the most basic. Otherwise, the comparisons don't truly compare equally.
