I’m stuck with a old Nokia N95 8GB, and it’s definitely time to get my hand on a smart phone soon.
Two of the alternatives is HTC Desire or IPhone 4. I’ll most likely go for one of them, but the question is which one?
I’ve heard a lot of good reviews and comments from friends and colleagues with HTC Desire, but it’s hard to say when IPhone 4 hasn’t been released here in Norway yet.
But I’m yet to hear someone complain when going from a IPhone 3G to a HTC Desire, I’m afraid I don’t know about anyone going from HTC to IPhone.
I’m a bit sceptical about the policy that Apple runs on their devices, they run their business like Microsoft did some years ago, everything closed and impossible to use for anyone else. I feel Google, with it’s Android has a lot more to offer when it comes down to flexibility and user control. Some say Google got too much knowlegde about us now, that they control too much.. Demand and supply, that’s what it’s about right?
So I guess that’s the way the wide world is turning, towards a more open place. And I think I like that… and HTC Desire.
