You now know the differences, advantages and disadvantages of these two outstanding mobiles. But which is better? The only major differences are the most amazing GPS feature on a mobile phone so far, the first Linux GPS phone, on the other hand you have Sony Ericsson’s dedication and experience on manufacturing a phone capable of 30 hours of music only entertainment – better than the iPod nano and rivalling the iPod.

Probably both will region in the price range of L400 to €600 on pay as you go (prepaid). Both, hopefully depending on Qualcomm’s pressure on BenQ’s Siemens, will be launched by Christmas, with the Sony Ericsson W900 already accepting pre-orders it will certainly be a dream gift for Christmas, and a must have. Both a step forward in mobile innovation, improving the market for you and I. So what will you buy? The all in one GPS mobile or the best mobile mp3 phone of this year?
