Nokia E72 or HTC Hero?

[Talish]

Hi All,

I am have to buy mobile of either Nokia or HTC. I am thinking about recently launched Nokia E72 and HTC Hero. I have referred many websites but didn't get enough details over these two Nokia and HTC mobiles. So it becomes quite difficult to make selection among these two. I wonder if you are able to let me know your suggestions over Nokia E72 and HTC Hero. I will really appreciate your help.

With Scenes, a new profile feature, HTC Hero becomes multiple phones in one. Create and switch between Scenes that reflect different moments in your life. Your Hero becomes a weekend phone that helps you relax with your choice of tunes, catch up with your favorite friends and capture some memories with HTC Footprints. And when you go on a trip, your phone becomes your personal guide and gives you instant access to local time, weather and maps.

The HTC -- though unfortunately, the company appears to have bitten off more than its last-generation hardware can chew. If this build of Android were to be loaded atop the guts of a 3GS or Pre, the performance would likely be astounding, but fused with the two-year old architecture of previous devices, it's mostly disappointing. We're not saying this isn't the best build of Android on the market -- we think it is. What we are saying is that this build is a bit too much for a device like the Hero to handle, and that makes for an uneven, sometimes frustrating experience. Going into the review, we desperately wanted to love this phone, but given the combination of a few poor hardware choices and an OS which outclasses the device it runs on, we can only recommend that you enter at your own risk.

The Nokia E72 has all the business applications you'd expect from an E-Series device. However, it hasn't really brought anything new to the table and is somewhat overshadowed by its contemporaries.

Pros:
Business applications
Good connectivity
Attractive

Cons:
Small screen
Sluggish Symbian OS
Poor web experience
Limited onboard memory
Useless optical trackpad

The winner is Nokia

I've been using HERO for half a year already... It was a tough experience, yes, - but only before the upgrade of Android OS from 1.5 to 2.1, which fortunately happened last month. Now I can say I'm satisfied with my HTC Hero: it's become quicker, browsing web pages is now a pleasure - you can watch videos and pics and listen to music, which was rarely the case with Android 1.5. The only thing which saddens me so far is my phone's performance in video playback - it's kinda when you play a movie on an old Pentium 100 MHz, i.e. with tiny glitches and slow-downs, which, however, irritate you a lot. I don't really know if the problem's with the hardware... it may well be in the software, I'll check it out when I have time.

Hope this helps.
