In response to criticism in PC Pro magazine(!) and lots of (well, ok, two) emails, I've added Windows Mobile smartphones back into my Grid of smartphone solutions. Now you can compare the best from the Symbian OS world and its main competitor. As ever, plug in your preferences and watch the magic 8-ball Javascript decide!
Read on in the full article.
I welcome the return to platform independence, thanks.
It would be great to see the two Treos on there too!
I wonder if you meant to remove the N93 and leave the N93i, rather than the reverse - you appear to have removed other unavailable devices.
Criticisms in PC Pro magazine? What were they?
EDIT: I've tried the grid (long time I had not tried it) but despite trying to be reasonable and answer based on what I really needed, I had no other choice but selecting "Very Important" for just about every option except one or two such as spreadsheet. Am I a freak? On the other side, it told me to get an E90 which is pretty much the only device I would consider buying today so not too bad.
I think you would be hard pressed to make it *not* select the E90!
Oh, I tested the Grid fairly thoroughly. There are plenty of use cases where the E61i, N93, HTC Advantage, etc. come out top.
And yes, I meant to leave the N93, which is a far superior device to the crippled N93i (poor/mono-ish video sound, terrible display in sunlight, horrible keypad, artificially blurred images - I could go on....)
