I have a Noika N78 right now and I am really interested in the Samsung Galaxy (i7500). I like the looks of it, the screen and just plain the GUI of android looks great.
BUT- the programs I use the most are (appearently) not supported by Android, or am I wrong?
-Mobireader (I use my offline wikipedia ll the time, even if I have to say that online is an option too now that I have a data flatrate)
-Mobireader for the Longman dictionary of contemporary English
-Some GPS turn by turn solution ( AFAIK there is only one and you have to pay a monthly fee)
-Some sort of GPS tracking program like Nokia Sports Tracker
That's about it. Any input would be greatly appreaciated. I know that there is also the new Samsung Omnia HD which would propably work with my S60 programs but I realy like the look and feel of Android OS. What other advantages are there?
Thanks!

Hi,
No worries
As for your current preferred programs, there are alternatives in the Android world as well:
"-Mobireader (I use my offline wikipedia ll the time, even if I have to say that online is an option too now that I have a data flatrate)"
here you have (amongst others): Wikipedia, Wikitude AR travel guide, etc
"-Some GPS turn by turn solution (
AFAIK there is only one and you have to pay a monthly fee)"
You have Nav4All, AndNav, etc (which supports turn-by-turn) and i am sure there are others.
"-Some sort of GPS tracking program like Nokia Sports Tracker"
My favourite is BuddyRunner but there are more as well.
regards
Daniel
