It's another big update to my cross-platform Grid, this time tweaking a number of device scores and adding the Sony Ericsson P1i. Which smartphone comes out on top for you? Just plug in your preferences and comment back. For me, the Nokia E90 and N95 are tied - which sounds about right.....
Read on in the full article.
Not bad, according to the list I should have the N95.
I have the Nokia 6120 classic which is similar to the N95 but much lighter.
The 6120 was not listed, another update is needed.
I'd probably argue that a couple of the ratings could be tweaked.
3rd party apps. From what I can tell S60 is ok, but WinMob really does have a huge range, so should be upped for the HTC Advantage etc. Not sure about the non touchscreen smartphone ones
Again for the HTC Advantage, screen size/resolution rating of 8 v the E90 9 ?
Database is all 0. A assume you are talking built in...
Interesting one for me is the Size/Weight. I just set it to Not Important and see what comes out. Then it either is small enough (E90) or it isn't (Advantage)...
It is just a guide of course. But interesting. Still E90 for me then.
Oh Steve. No sitting on the fence. You have to pick which is the best (for you). No rigging the results to get a draw 😊

Hi all,
That appears to be frighteningly accurate for me as my first choice is the device i bought just 3 days ago the E90 and the second choice was the N95 that along with my E61 has been replaced by the E90 and they are about to be sold.

Intriguing. I ran down the table blind and it picked the Sony Ericsson P1i - the phone I bought a week ago. Spooky! (5 points behind was the Nokia E61i)
Thanks all, it appears my Grid is getting its predictions pretty darned accurate these days!
Can I ask a favour - if any of you run web pages, stick in a link to either the Grid or my http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/ home page?
With regard to screen size, yes, the Advantage has a physically larger display but it uses them appallingly. 90% of the time, it's simply scaling up the usual 320 by 240 displays etc.
The E90 isn't perfect, using S60 as its interface, but at least the screen real estate is used more sensibly.

Good point! 6120 is great. Little, not eye catch and low price.
wow! It says I should have the N95 which I already have 😃 . Quite interesting.
LOL, the N95 has the same score (10) for Music like the iPhone? The former doesn't even have gapless playback, the latter sports Coverflow instead of the clumsy Nokia crap. These are really "personal" scores LOL
The iPhone :
Can't even use one of your tunes as a ring tone.
Has a funny shaped socket for the headphones so most headphones don't work with it. Many people find the ones that come with it fall out but can't replace with their fav. headphones...
Does not support bluetooth stereo headphones so you can't get round it that way either.
You have to use iTunes to get the most out of it.
Has a slow internet connection, so live streams etc. are a pain.
Does not have tactile dedicated buttons so you can feel what you are doing. Have to get it out and look at the screen.
Not got either device nor do I intend to, but just because it has an i in front does not make it better.
If some of these issues are important to you, you might even argue the iPhone is rubbish for music 😊
It's a 2 way street as they say.

It seems to be suggesting n95 and e90 for most of us. I got the same 2 suggestions.
If you want to really want to doodle and 2 handed use is no problem then the WinMob units start kicking in.
Zuber
Yes, and insisting on high battery life and robustness and not worrying about camera specs means that the E61i kicks in too. Knowing the strengths of each device, I can 'force' the grid to pick almost any device as the winner.
But yes, for most people on default prefs, the N95 and E90 are bound to score highly. but then who wouldn't want to own one of these two if price was no object?
