Question on Handhelds:

Should I go for the Samsung SGH-i900 or SGH-F480? Both devices seem to have similar specs but I feel the SGH-i900 looks more classy. Which would you suggest?

Submitted by CNET Asia reader, via email

Answer:

Though these two phones look similar and come with a lot of common features, they are very different devices. The most important distinction is that the SGH-i900 is a Windows Mobile PDA-phone. This means you can install a lot of applications, do a complete sync with your Windows PC using ActiveSync and so on. If you are looking for a PDA-phone with lots of business features, the i900 will fit the bill better. If you just want something simpler but still have the touchscreen, then perhaps the F480 will be more appropriate. Do click on the links of the two devices to find out more.

I just bought the Omnia i900 and I feel I have made the right choice. I was comparing it to the SGH-F480 and I will advice anyone who cannot make up their minds - get the Omnia if you want numerous features with a touch of class. Get the SGH-F480 if u prefer a smaller phone. I feel the Omnia is better though.

No regrets. i900 is the choice for overall package compared to the F480.
