Which one is better n97 mini or omnia pro b7610.
The major differences I could figure out are in the processor speed, Operating system, screen type, size & resolution, Battery power internal memory & RAM. In all the above mentioned difference Samsung is better except the Internal storage (mini has 8 GB and omnia has 2 GB). Feature wise Omnia has Business card reader, Document editor, DivX certified and mobile tracker where as mini has Digital compass, Document Viewer, Flash Lite 3.
Also, Omnia is cheaper than mini around 1.5 to 2K.
My major requirements are A-GPS, E-book / PDF viewer / reader, E-mail and calendar synch, Wi-Fi, Camera (not much) and build quality (my mobile falls on an average once or twice in a week).
Can anybody help who has used both the phones?

    Sacred and COnfused, 25 Dec 2009I need help. I'm confused. What should I buy E72 or N97 min... morehey, same question for me, diff is, i already have the n97mini but still torn whether to go for the e72. have been toying with the n97mini and all the features of music, internet browsing, gaming, touchpad, all of which seem to lose compared to my previous iphone (which i plan on keeping anyway).

    picture-wise, i find my n95 quality still better than the n97mini. i found online comparison of pics taken from n97mini and e72 and frankly can't tell the diff in terms of quality (diff only in color hues), so both might be on equal footing there (given the same 5mp) unless you're a real photo fanatic who is very particular with pic colors.

    on contacts menu, i find it weird that n97mini doesn't allow you to edit/customize header labels (which is basic for almost all nokia phones).

    on a biz side, i find that being able to edit MS Word, Excel and Ppoint on e72 a BIG PLUS vs n97mini which only allows you to read/view (i think you have to pay for certain software should you really want to use it to edit)

    i do however find the widget interface of n97mini a plus. fun and new factor which i have not encountered in my previous nokias. slideshow of wallpaper is also a plus for me.

    form factor wise, both are nice in each of its aspect. though the garnett and white of n97mini are more fun vs the cool and sleek metallic exteriors of the e72 (which is made to suit biz users)

    bottomline, given the pros cited of n97mini, im still torn whether to switch to e72 since the pros are mostly present in my iphone anyways. still trying to find justification on why i should pay for the extra bucks vs the e72.

    would highly welcome your comments and opinions as well.

    tks!

      Sarmad, 26 Dec 2009With your multi media needs, it would be better to go for n... morehey thanks for your comment. i actually have the n97mini now (used it for 2 days) but am confused whether to trade it in for the e72. have been reading the reviews and it seems that the scales are tipped in favor of the e72. personally i find the processor quite slow in responding, also the touchscreen is kinda hard to manipulate (having been an iphone user prior to this). texting/email wise, would an e72 be better than the n97mini?

      hope you can give more pros/cons comparisons between the 2 since you've used both units already. tks!

                Have garnet mini, next day after purchase it frooze in morning, used memory card trick many times. I had downloaded mostly ovi store apps, thats all. really fed up with batt and mem card in and out habbit.
                Nokia are idiots when doing rigorous tests they launch first batch, through out. It takes 3 months to sell first batch, the vendors put in warraty card with latest typed dates to show it has recently arrived. SHAME!

                    I bought the phone on 29th November and the touchscreen got corrupted within two weeks.

                    Shame on Nokia.

                                i think it cost more than the original because your paying the premium for materials used and the size

                                        And you would think Mini would have a 'mini' price too :)
