mini-mini-moo

Mini-mini-mini-moo...my birthday is fast approaching and I want to buy something for myself. Last month, I was planning to buy a new phone to give justice to my N70 which has been with me for almost 2 years already. But I also wanted an iPod...I never had one...except for the fake one my dad brought from China...which I broke 2 hours after I got it. Then I thought, I should buy an iPhone...but then, no one's selling an iPhone here in the Philippines except for those unlocked ones which I think would cause a lot of problems. I am not really fond of buying phones and gadgets from unauthorized sellers especially if the item is modified. Last week, I surfed through Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Apple websites. Then I came with two options: Sony Ericsson w960i and iPod Touch 16gb. After some thinking, I decided that I'll just buy a w960i once it is available in the market. Since I think 8gb will suffice and I'll have a new phone at the same time.

BUT! While I was surfing the net yesterday there was a breaking news... iPod Touch now comes in 32GB!!! My plans were all shattered! 32 GB is already big for me since I'll just load videos which I can just delete once I have already watched them. Now, I'm torn between the two.

Sony Ericsson w960i:


Pros:
  • Mobile phone and media player in one
  • I don't need to buy a new cellphone separately
  • 3g Capable
  • touchscreen with Handwriting Recognition
  • with front and back Camera
  • Wi-Fi Capable
Cons:
  • small Memory: 8Gb
  • non-expandable memory
  • small screen
  • no infrared (Actually...I don't care...there's bluetooth)
  • still not available in the market
  • unknown price


iPod Touch 32GB:


Pros:
  • 32 GB Memory
  • touchscreen
  • wider screen
  • Wi-Fi Capable
  • iPod with Mail
  • accelerometer (I like this feature!)
Cons:
  • media player only
  • not 3g Capable
  • non-expandable memory
  • small screen
  • no camera
  • I need to buy a separate cellphone

Which is which???
