the phone that Samsung made after the razr was actually better then the razr. I happen to still be using it because I haven't found a phone that i have liked more.

There is acually a big fan base for the samsung A900m you would be surprised, it was and still is a great phone. And if i like the instinct i will pick it up cause it looks great and will be cheaper than the iphone.

I have to agree with Chris. I still have the a900 myself and it's been a great phone. Matter of fact, this month I've had it for 2 years and it's still going strong.

I am looking to upgrade phones this September when our contract is up. It's currently between 3 phones: The 3G iPhone, the Samsung Instinct and the Sony Ericsson EXPERIA X1.

My only hesitation with the X1 is it's using WinMo 6.1 and every single friend that I know that has a WinMo phone absolutely despises WinMo. Not just hates it, or dislikes it... despises it. That's not exactly a vote of confidence to switch to a WinMo phone.

@Bob

So there is no possibility of the X1 shipping with WM7? I wouldn't be surprised if it does...microsoft has to be pushing hard now that LG and Samsung have entered the 'all touch' arena with Apple...not to mention that Android be probably show up late summer/early fall

@helix:

Everything I've been reading about the X1 has said that it's going to be released with WinMo 6.1, as it'll be out in a few months, tops. WinMo7 is still being developed and, according to the internets, won't be released until 2009.

According to CNET, with regards to a WinMo 6.1 release, they say the following:

"Windows Mobile 6.1 will be available sometime in Q2, and a number of manufacturers (HTC, Samsung Electronics, Motorola, Pantech) and carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Alltel) have already announced that they will offer the upgrade. A sample of supported smartphones include the Samsung BlackJack II, AT&T Tilt, Sprint Motorola Q9c, Sprint Mogul, and Alltel Touch. For the full rundown of devices and features, check out the Microsoft Windows Mobile Web site."

I'll third the comments about the Samsung A900. I've got mine going on just about two years strong. It's been quality for me. That's why I'm intrigued by the prospect of getting another handset from them. I'll be at the store ASAP to play with this phone for a bit and if I like the haptic feedback keyboard, I'll pick it up.
