Nokia E90 or Toshiba G900

[shortshrift]

I've read Steve's comparison of the E90 and HTC Advantage.

Has anyone yet had a chance to compare the E90 and the Toshiba G900?

On the face of it, the G900 is cheaper, smaller, and has a higher resolution screen (a touch screen, for what it's worth). In most other features it seems fairly evenly matched against the E90, except GPS (which it doesn't have).

In terms of apps, Windows Mobile is a plus for me (I've got a large collection of maps in Memory-Map Navigator format, which doesn't run on the Symbian platform... and more importantly, I've not yet seen a Frotz port for S60!).

On the downside, against the E90's beautiful design, the G900 appears to fall somewhere between functional and outright ugly. And TrustedReviews was grumbling about battery life.

Anyone actually compared the two in the flesh?

if e900 looks likes another makeover of HTC's Dopod series. (also taking many other names and different designs like Softbank x01, O2 Trion, T-mobile Tytn etc).... then i am not impressed. I am not too happy about moving from s80 to s60 as its already less intuitive but using a Windows mobile is just even worst. True, there are many add on aps to bring it back to par to "basic" productivity but why should u have to do that?

I really hope Iphone will make other handphone manufacturers think harder and rather than churning out models for churning out models sake, they should have a serious look at user experience....
