> HTC Touch or SE P1i?
Bookmark topic
Never owned a Symbian or Windows Mobile phone...
Always liked the idea of the P Series, but didn't like the lack of a 5-way D-pad (didn't like the jog dial much).
Then came the P990 and I thought that my prayers have been answered...
When the price became resonable, it turned out to be an extremly buggy phone...
Now the P1i is out (in some places). Supposedly it solves the P990's lack of memory problem...
Yes... this doesn't have a 5-way d pad and all..
Anyway, P1i or Touch?

Windows is always better. Go for the HTC Touch.

Can you elaborate a bit on how Windows is better?

I totally disagree...
I found Windows Mobile the buggiest, stupidest system on the market. I owned 2 devices, Imate Jam and TyTn...both of which sold at very high $$$. I found them crap compared to UIQ, even with its bugs.
I don't get how people complain about UIQ's multitasking capabilities and then recommend windows. WM's memory management is far worse. Not to mention and the glacial speed and poooor battery life.
I'd pick the P1i over any WM smartphone.

not to mention the call qualities? although this point has been discussed countless times before. remember, you're buying a phone first, a PDA second. which is more important?

if you ask such question here on esato people will advise for p1i. i have p990 and fujitsu siemens pocket loox n560 running windows mobile 5.i think that my pda is way way better than my p990. but than is a device at 624 mhz compared to 201 mhz of the p990.
i would go for htc touch anytime.
my pda gives me 31 mb of ram free out of 64.what p990 can't.

htc touch and p990 both have 64mb of ram. im wondering whether the htc touch , with its touchflo, can still give you ram higher than the 16mb left with p990i. who uses the touch? is it really slow? does the touch also have memory issues?

So you're saying SE has better call qualities?

Well again, the P1i should've solved the memory problem, that's what people are claiming...

I remember reading that masseur used to like his Tytn... Can more people who have used both WM and UIQ comment on their expereinces?

there's been some comparison between symbian call quality and WM call quality. i would think that symbian has noticeably better call quality, but that is of course just an opinion.

it depends on what u need because i feel that u are comparing 2 from different levels i see the touch as low-end wm6 phone and the p1 as a high-end symbian phone
anyway, the only way FOR you to know is to try both of them before buying ..
but here are some highlights .
P1i
- is more expensive at moment
- regular touchscreen
- better camera 3.2mp with auto focus
- 3g
- 128mb ram u will get around 70 mb free
- bigger but with a keyboard
- better screen at 262k but smaller at 2.6in
- wifi b only
- m2 memory stick
- today screen is very basic and so far there is no support for plugins
- less application and games available
HTC touch
around 200$ difference
- ofcourse the touchFLO screen
- 2 mp camera no auto focus
- no 3g
- 64 ram usually u will get around 25-30 mb free (not sure about that) but at least it doesn't suffer from memory leaks like the p990i
- 65k color screen bigger at 2.8
- no keyboard
- wifi b/g
- micro sd cards
- you can find whatever application or game u want
summery
if you want more multimedia capabilities go for the p1 if you want more of a PDA function and loads of application go for the HTC touch
but you have to try both because WM UI doesn't appeal to everyone
