About the Google phone, the fact that those 2 items have been omitted does bother me. Fair enough, I don't use video that much, but the Bluetooth data transfer is damn handy when out and about.
For me it matters.
For me the fact that, by today's standards, such 2 relatively basic features are missing kinda discourages me and I'll openly admit that it'll slightly overshadow what the rest of the phone has to offer, but that's me.
The iPhone now comes to mind. I love the user interface, looks etc. I don't for one minute denounce its avante garde bits and impact that it has had.
But would I buy one? No. Cam abilities are way up on my pecking order of specs, and that'll be enough to make me look elsewhere.
The G900 now comes to mind. Great size, features and as wi-fi is lower down the pecking order for me, its omission won't bother me as much as the G-phone's two, even if wi-fi is in itself rapidly becoming a standardised feature on higher end phones.
Perhaps the lack of this feature would have the same effect on others as the G-Phone's 2 omissions has on me.
Fair enough then, but the G-Phone, like the iPhone, ain't for me.

Thanx man, yep atleast i have my trusty and realiable N81, like any other smartphone it freezes and restarts once in a while but for the most part its solid, it hasn't had a single serious issue.

True, and not to mention how embarrassing it would be having to tell your friends that your new and expensive (in SA) iPhone or G-Phone cant record videos nor send files via bluetooth, but hey the UI looks nice!  by the way the G900 does have Wi-Fi, its the 1st SE to support both (b) and (g) standards as far as i know, or did you mean the G700?

Just incase you are interested in knowing in how much power your 8GB Monster has i think you'll enjoy reading this http://www.symbian (-) freak.com/news/006/05/powervr_mbx.htm

Aaah, my bad, Gucci. You're right. I muddled my facts, stating wi-fi instead of HSCSD. Doh, LOL.

Now that you mention this.... I had my HTC tytn for 7 months now, and i just realized while reading this post, this baby never froze or rebooted on me yet...
That has got to mean something...

I know this girl who bought my P990i from me. (and she's taking care of it pretty well I've got to admit) who I am trying to convince to open up a Vodacom contract (just got a new job and earning lots of dosh) and the plan is she walks away with the simcard and I can take the Apple I-Phone.What you think? lol Ja,wishful thinking but hey,I am the king when it comes to pulling off an insane plan like that.
HTC TYTN-sounds like a solid unit to me Rhino if you havent had a freeze or a reboot since you got it.I must admit I've had one freeze with this N95-2 since I got it and I dont think it was the phones fault but the fault of the dodgy third party app I had installed.So yeah,the N95-2 also get a thumbs up from me when it comes to stability.
@Hows your N95-2 holding up Mario.
@Brix-Bluetooth? I can just imagine been at my grandfathers house and all my young hip cousins ask me if they can transfer some of my music onto their phones and here I am sitting with a fancy smancy G1 phone and I have to reply,Sorry,my phone doesnt have bluetooth.They'll look at me funny.lol

WOW! Thats excellent considering that quite a lot of ex WM users complained about having to always reboot their WM5 PPCs atleast once a day, the TyTN i used was also fine,but then again i didnt use it much since it wasn't mine.
Hobbs
Lol my school bud's N95-2 is the same, never reboots but it freezes sometimes.

Mine works a lot, use it 3 hours a day for reading ebooks and at least 90 minutes for div-x movies. And it is my primary phone, AND i use skype on it most days, which impressed me since i also read the complaints that almost everyone had to reboot at least once a day...
