Yea, I’m also keen to get a 5800 over an iPhone. Way overdue on an upgrade.

But I still feel like I must have an iPhone.

Damn you Apple.

Well then…

After extensively researching the “5800″ and checking out a billion phone comparisons -5800 vs iPhone. I’ve come to the conclusion that it IS, in fact, a BETTER phone than the iPhone!
(No one would’ve thought this, hey?!) I was seriously looking into purchasing the iPhone, but then my attention was drawn to the 5800. It’s PERFECT -and they’ve even developed software to enable multi-touch on it! Granted it is in the early stages, but quite remarkable, considering that it was never -hardware wise- meant to be multi-touch. Anyways…main reason for the post : Just me quietly laughing at everyone who went on about the price for this device. Even when it was launched in the US and Europe it was ALWAYS cheaper than iPhone. Now, we can pick up an iPhone for +/- 3G 8gig R7699 ; 3G 16gig
R8699 as opposed to the 5800 for R4650. (Prices are in reference to today -so don’t freak out about this post 6months down the line! ;-)
So there you have!
Just an interesting observation….

There are so many mobiles being launched lately, that it’s hard to decide on which one to go for!

.. I can’t believe no one has questioned the 11GHz ARM CPU.. ROFL

It looks cool, I might even get one if Fring/Skype supports it. But I doubt it’s THAT fast..
