[aldrinbasallo]

is this phone slide left to right?? i see it in qatar the 5730 slide in right i think???

[stevelitchfield]

Left. The qatar one must be a fake.

[benek021]

Mine question:

Nokia 5730 or Se W995?

[iloveyouhebe]

is this phone touchscreen ?

[stevelitchfield]

No!

[ldyschoice]

this is very helpful for me! haha thanks a lot!

[dnb237]

Hi Steve!! Some question, Nokia N97 or Omnia HD?

Thanks!!

[ashtonkonon]

lol make drill holes on the phone back cover

best idea!!! =D

[zerojoker]

Are you going to do a review of the LG Electronics GW300? It's not really a smartphone, but the form factor and price make it probably intersting for your audience. Also, you briefly review the other qwerty-phone from lg (forgot the model no.)

[stevelitchfield]

Maybe. With a big M 8-)

[agent47er]

hey Steve... is it worth registering for wave secure service provided for free by Nokia....

also which device is better... the Nokia e90 or the blackberry bold...!!!

[stevelitchfield]

Wouldn't have thought so.... Save your money?

Bold is more up to date? Tough call though.

[DingensHalt]

does it have an accelerometer?? =)

[stevelitchfield]

*Every* modern S60 device has one.

[joshuaner]

What's the name of the 6" Screen device?

[stevelitchfield]

Psion Series 5... Google it! 8-)

[joshuaner]

Well Symbian Evolved from Psion' Did it evolved from Psion?

[stevelitchfield]

Yes, Symbian started as 'Psion Software'. I used to (kind of) work for the latter, doing software for their Games Pack!

[gavrilaeugen]

pls replay steve :) Nokia N900 or Omnia HD ? :)

[stevelitchfield]

Neither. I'd rather have something vaguely mature and well supported. 8-)

[gavrilaeugen]

then what do u recomand :) (device )

[stevelitchfield]

Nokia N95, E71 and E75 spring to mind. And the N97 after October, which is a lot more future proof 8-)

[gavrilaeugen]

thxz a lot 4 replay steve but y have n95 8gb it's a great device but it's old ... not a E serias fan end n97 have the same speekers like n86 very low speekers :)

[krizanand]

Hi steve

I 100% agree with you regarding the security let it be one contact or 100 contacts sync everyday without fail and take a backup on the card and PC atleast once in a month there is point is crying over spilled milk when u have umpteen options to keep it secure

I saw your review and comparison of 5730 Xm in AAS too i am serously considering it as i have become a fan of QWERTYes and bad side of it is the speakers it sounded like S**t with the back cover, a nice find from you too

[ScottishHeat]

Hi Steve, Good review of the Nokia 5730. I've had that phone for about a month and I like how understated it looks and feature packed it is.

There is one thing you missed on is that it has gaming buttons for the Nokia's n-gage 2.0 platform.

I'm glad there is still an alternative to the touch screen dominance mobile devices have these days.

I don't like the plastic battery cover too much though and it annoys me also how muffled the sound is. I might drill the battery cover like you said. lol

[vastenmielinen]

heh that old data device sure is a true thing ,my dad has a quite similar device from compaq. it too is over 10 years old

[HaroldNkumarGoMunch]

Hi Steve,

Will you be comparing the HTC HD2 and N900 soon? Those are on my shortlist for my next upgrade. Any thoughts as to which one is better?

[stevelitchfield]

Yes, assuming the relevant PR companies get the hardware organised!! HD2 looks good but that TouchFLO system is going to rankle with me yet again, I reckon....

[X1Tail]

Steve,

Could you please add any links, that you mention in your videos, to the videos description.

[stevelitchfield]

I normally show the links on-screen - remember that 80% of viewers pick up the show via RSS or iTunes!!!!

[BuDaddy2]

I dunno... I used to enjoy The Phones Show, but since I switched from Nokia to the iPhone 3G(s), I'm having trouble giving a rat's ass about it. Time to hit the unsubscribe button.

[stevelitchfield]

Fair enough. Trouble is that it's hard to give much coverage to the iPhone since Apple only do ONE new model per YEAR 8-)

[heshere2001]

lol @ end! :D

[nukinetix]

Wow .. what you said in the end, SO TRUE! I couldn't have said it better myself ;-)

It's incredible, isn't it? It really really is...

[NovaScene]

Steve, the volume levels are so f'd up. The music in the beginning and at the end si so freaking LOUD! compared to the voice you use to speak. :/

Could you fix it? ...oh and also your shirt needs some fixing. :D

[stevelitchfield]

Yes, sorry about that. I got hit by an iMovie 09 bug, it seems. Gah. I'm not re-uploading it all again...... Sorry.

[tehkseven]

Omg.. I like that cheeky bit you did at the end.. You had me going! Quite agree with that point though :)

[stevelitchfield]

Yeah, I'm going to develop a Steve Jobs 'One last thing' meme.....

[tehkseven]

Awesome as always Steve :D. I was really excited when I saw a new video from you!

[jamesavilalfa]

What a nice show!...

[urlovekrish]

You are absolutely right about syncing the data...special after T-Mobile sidekick TRAGEDY...and i think only 1 service or server is not enough so I always sync with my laptop..OTA with Google and ZYB....so if in case 1 failed or get troubled ,i can recover from another source..

[urlovekrish]

Congrats Steve, as usual great show and lots of information..i like specially the Steve Jobs part..lol..I was expecting the top 5 in this show but better luck next time...lol

[adtrea]

Great show, Steve.

The 5730 looks quite tempting to be honest, though I think I'll hold out a bit more and go for the E72.

Also, the moment you said a 6 inch touchscreen I knew what you were talking about, it is rather perplexing though, how in some ways we've gone backwards technology-wise.

[rizwan1983]

I loved the ending. Where did we go wrong indeed! Thank you for the show! I was entertained and informed!

[stevelitchfield]

If anyone can see this, it appears that user comments are broken at YouTube's end 8-(

[adtrea]

This happened last time as well, I posted two comments and none of them showed up. :(

I think Youtube has something against you, Steve.

[iloveyouhebe]

is this phone better than the nokia 6120?

[ichi1082]

lol @ 08:17

"argh"

[obsedatr6]

hey steve,what phone do you have?nokia 5800?

[stevelitchfield]

All of them. Well, almost. 8-)

[NedKelly5580]

First time I have ever been the first to post a comment...

Which one? Omnia HD i8910 or Nokia N900

[MyNokiaBlog]

What about the Sony P-series...albeit not phones, small, large screen, pretty functional keyboard?
