the xperia's os is a windows mobile. i really do not know the performance of the new releases of this OS, but it is like you are using an MS based machine. my experiences in MS-based smartphones are really not good.....

That is why there are reports that the N's linux based OS may be better. Any first-hand experience here?

i would suggest the Apple iPhone 3G or 3GS.

i'm currently using an iPhone 3G and it still works like new even though it's already a year old. no "hang" issues found on most smart phones. internet browsing speed is top notch. it also has the capability to store/push your emails.

you may also want to consider the new Sony Ericsson Satio. never tried using one but it looks promising. i think it's much much better than the Xperia.

But if I have to check a site with Flash would an iPhone be able to view it? My job is based online and sometimes I have to monitor sites with Flash components or made up entirely of Flash.

do you need to type stuff? my pet peeve against touchscreens is the keypad.

me 3g/wifi ba ung N97? Quite a few of my officemates seem to have bought them. Personally i'm impressed with the build and QWERTY keypad; ewan ko lang sa performance niya.

I think it should have 3g/wifi capability. Also, can you do me a favor and ask your officemates how they are with the N97? I suppose it will hang once in a while. Am not sure I would even bother with the n900 for now since it may start at a high price.

Anyone know if the following have flash support - SE Satio, Samsung Omnias?

yup, confirmed at gsmarena.com that both n97 and n97 mini does 3g and wifi. way beyond my personal budget though :p

i was quite satisfied with my old E51: 12k+, me wifi and 3g na(not tri-bang 3g though)...browsing wasn't that convenient 'coz of the screen size though.

<10k na siya? hmm...
