I just read today about the new Nokia N9 Swipe today.  The review compared the Nokia N9 favorably to the iPhone and Androids and in fact strongly suggests it is better.

The trouble is, I am getting confused again.  Just when I thought I would settle for an Android Samsung Galaxy – the Nokia N9 comes on the market.  I do like how the Nokia N9 organizes the apps, the most recent and favorite pages.  I do like that you can find things faster (I think?).  And I do like the aesthetics and the way it has been designed.

So far so good.  I am thinking, maybe I should get this instead?  I go to the bottom of the page and Ash Sangamneheri  makes the comment: -

“Does make you wonder, if they did such a good job why did they have to abandon it for WP7?”

To which Danile Ostrower replies: -

“Good point. And why would I buy it knowing the OS is already end-of-lifed?”

With a final comment from Chris Clement: -

“MeeGo itself is not EOL though (it is doing very well, actually). I’m with you guys on questioning their initial intent, but here’s hoping they change their mind. Even knowing it could end up on the back-burner, I still can’t help but want! “

What are they talking about!  My guess is the technology is already redundant?  But that can’t be, it has just been launched!

This leaves me with the thought who do I trust then – Nokia, Fast Company (who wrote the review) or the people who left their comments.  My heart wants to buy the N9, my head is saying don’t.  Will my trust in the Nokia and Fast Company brands i.e. my heart win over the logic of the comments made?

May be the iPhone will win. After all I had a dream the other day, where I had just bought an iPhone and how pleased I was – how sad is that!

Or maybe I should stick to a Blackberry and get an all screen smart phone.  It is after all geared up for business better.  But then so is the Windows Phone 7.

Into the mix is the apps.  Clearly iPhone holds the advantage now – but in 12 months?

‘What-a-to-do’!  So much choice.  And the real irritant is, I know whatever I choose will be out of date within months!  The head part of my body is saying, buy a second hand smart phone.  I know it is already out of date, so it won’t matter.  And I will be able to buy at a significantly cheaper price.  But there again my heart wants the latest and greatest – oh ‘What-a-to-do’.

The conclusion I have come to is I respect and trust all the brands mentioned above, but at the end of the day, hopefully I will probably listen to people who are in the know, despite my emotions screaming to get a ………!
