While every iPhone fans are waiting for the supposed August/September release of the iPhone 3G in the Philippines, I’ve rounded up some of the top choices for iPhone 3G alternatives and compared them side by side.
I had 4 most likely candidates as a great iPhone alternative — the HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia N96, Samsung i900 Omnia and the Sony-Ericsson Xperia.
My choices were mostly based on large-screen, touchscreen smartphones — one major area where the iPhone claims supremacy.

Some specs, like that of the iPhone’s processor and RAM/ROM are not totally confirmed and were based on pieces of hardware clues taken from disassembled parts. Prices were not included because we can’t get final listings for each so for the meantime, let’s just compare them feature by feature.
For each row, I’ve highlighted (when applicable) the feature that’s a clear winner among the group. The model with the highest number of highlights is likely the best candidate for an iPhone alternative.
I’d think this has gotta be some form of evolutionary trait to better understand what kinda person someone is. Whether they are out to get vengence, if they are friendly, someone that you need to be cautious about. Many would need to understand how to react to them.
Help please, i tried running video streaming, however the display says “server or data timeout” em using samsung omnia ii. What does that mean and how will i correct that?
I will go for samsung omnia.
HTC Hero ata ang magandang alternatives sa Iphone (3GS) when it comes to UI.
Ang Iphone kasi, ang maganda sa kanya is yung UI.
Omnia II (i8000) for sensitivity ng screen kaya lang WinMO sya kaya walang wala sya sa Iphone kung icocompare ang UI.
Here comes the Palm Pre. ^_^
omnia – definitely the best….

With the N97 coming out soon, another alternative will come in. I’m wondering how people will see the 5800 vs N97 comparisons.
Hey have you seen iphone 3g in web based 3d interactive interface? you can rotate, zoom in and out iphone like in the palm of your hands.
see cube-ads.com’s gallery, its awesome!
note: the interface requires the latest java runtime environment (jre) to be seen!
My comments on the 3g from globe:
Don’t, its not worth it. Better if you can get one from a reliable supplier in GH and have it unlocked.
With the unit from globe, no forwarding of text, no MMS, no sending of pictures, except by email. The one i have hangs for a while when ending a call. You have to jailbreak it to put applications and that voids the warrantee.
I have better luck with my 2G unit which i had unlocked and had applications installed. For heavy texters, it’s not good. Use it only as a phone and its ok, but use a headset, as your cheek will hit the screen and starts the other applications, or at the least make beeping sounds.
You’ll get a lot of pogi points when using it though.
I get better results with my E71.
