Anonymous, 04 Dec 2010Hey guys help me out , should i buy Nokia n8 now or wait fo... morefastest way is to wait for the E7 that will be released in a month because some N8/C7/C6-01 batches has problems currently.

I don't think N9 will come anytime sooner than March or even longer cause it'll replace N8 which is just released.

      THAT's the problem with Samsung Galaxy S, no free NAV worldwide!

      it's the main reason that makes me stick with Nokia devices.

        iPhone 4 for now. That's the most desired handset for me and my friends specially when u see RAGE HD and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit on it. And did I mention INFINITY BLADE is releasing on 9th December ??

        Gears Of War Graphics on a Phone , non other than iPhone 4.
        Apps = iPhone 4
        Books = iPhone 4
        Style and aesthetics = iPhone 4

        Still a shame that all that but no Flash :(

        Almost Perfect Gift !!


        And Guys honestly am Excited about " Google Nexus S ".

        I just wish it has built quality like that of apple and same or better aesthetics. It will be one he'll of a Beast.

          Is it because Samsung Wave 8500 is not available that you didn't include it even in the Bang for the buck session?

                One of the best article I've read in gsmarena! The ending is awesome!
                The wave blah blah, 5230 and iphone's one are really epic!

                I know it's cheap. But does everyone need to know that? lol

                  Nice article, good idea also. But i think you should included more WP7 devices, at least as good multimedia phones.

                    and getting a usable video file (other than apple's) to play is next to impossible

                              I forgot to say.. i expected a "business" section as well, how come you forgot this category ? Like the blackberrys and Nokia e72 Nokia E55 , or you could have put a "full querty non-touch phone" section which is more or less the same thing .

                                  You did it again gsmarena,a truly great article. You guys make the best "shootouts" in the mobile market. Non-bised as always. Although i don`t like the iphone 4 very much, i do agree with those medals you gave it, in fact i pretty much agree with the whole article.
                                  Kepp it up !

                                      I like Nokia C6-01
                                      It's small, cheap and has a great features

                                      Also iphone4 is good too

                                      This is my opinion
