Nokia E 72 vs Nokia N 900

I know a lot of people who are confused, tearing their head off and waiting for some new software to make a divine selection for them. Well, I am talking about people who are confused about their next phone. It is a death match between Nokia E 72 vs Nokia N 900. As for me, I know my which one of these is going to be my next phone (grin)…

Nokia E 72 and Nokia N 900 are two devices which look like they are just out of area 51′s production section – Very futuristic and extremely competitive..From an “Outside” view at this phone, they have similar features. Both of these come with a 5 MP camera, a 600 MHZ processor, 3.5G (10.2Mbps HSDPA, 2Mbps HSUPA), amazing battery life, etc. When you “Pop the hood” and take a peek under it, it is a complete different story.

Nokia E72: This is a great device with an amazing performace. It runs on an ARM 11, 600 MHz processor backed by a 128MB RAM and 512 MB ROM. Nokia E 72 boasts about a battery which can provide 20 days of stand-by time and 12.5 hours of talk time..For all those people who travel a lot, it comes with Global Roaming and Assisted GPS service. The camera is not Carl Zeiss but can take pictures at 5 megapixel and record video at 15 frames per second, quater visual graphic array(QVGA). Video Playback protocols are MPEG4, 3GPP, Realvideo 7, 8, 9 and 10,H.263 and Flash Videos. Talking about data-trasfer on this phone, it is mind boggling. GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA 1.8 Mbit/s/HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s/HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s/HSDPA 10.2 Mbit/s/HSUPA/HSUPA 2.0 Mbit/s with a series 60 Complete HTML supported browser.





Nokia N 900: This is another work of art that anyone would want to get their hands on. This horse is powered by an TI OMAP 3430: ARM Cortex-A8 600 MHz processor with a 256 MB RAM / 768 MB ROM. This device supports Global Roaming like Nokia E 72. Nokia N900 comes with a Carl Zeiss lens with 5 megapixel camera and records at 25 frames per second – at 828×480 VGA display. I know I have not mentioned anything about the OS.. I thought I would save the best for the last but I just can’t hold on to it. N900 runs on the newly introduced Maemo OS. Maemo was developed on a Linux platform and is expected to be an excellent touch-screen device. N900′s data transfer is same as the one on Nokia E72. Finally, it is very evident that Nokia N900 is going to be the winner here but I think I am going to stay with Nokia E 72. The reason being, Symbian is Nokia’s original OS. None of us are aware of the issues/bugs if any on this OS. I am not ready to gamble here pople. The horses under the hood are pretty much the same. Now, Comparing the price of these two devices, N72 being $400 and N900 being $740, I think I would stick with Nokia E 72 till things are fixed on Nokia N 900.
