Hi,
i am renewing my mobile phone contract soon and was going to get a Eten Glofiish M700 but have been offered an Nokia N95 by my netwrok.
Both PDA/Phones seem to have there plus points and faults.
my main uses would be as a phone (obviously!), email, internet and sat nav.
i have never liked nokia's very much and the N95 is one ugly duckling of a phone but it seems to have the right features although i have heard that you pay by use for the sat nav - subscription and data charges - and the GPS reciever can be very ropey. through looking at technical forums, nokias reputation for reliability may be getting tarnished by the N95.
the glofiish comes with no sat nav software - i think i could install the nokia sat nav software for free on this device if i wanted to - but i would probably buy Tom Tom for it. There seem to be a few issues with the device in general but most seem to be attributed to Windows Mobile 5 and Etens provided software - which i would not install - rather than the pda itself. and an upgrade to windows mobile 6 is about to be made available to M700 owners.
the nokia's camera wins - no contest - but a camera is not really a priority, more of a novelty, on a phone.
any idea which is the better device? both seem to have their faults.
