Net Book Or Smart Phone?

Just a few weeks ago, I've posted something about my laptop being fixed and how I almost bought a new laptop. Even if it's fixed now, my perennial problem is still there - it takes approximately 30 minutes to start up the system, and running some programs take time. Like for example when I open Adobe Lightroom, other programs hang, it will take 10 minutes before the window of Adobe Lightroom pops up and I can resume my activities. It's "turtle-like" actions has been my complain for several years, and people have been telling me to buy a new one. It crashed for three times already and I'm getting dissatisfied more and more. I thought maybe because of the operating system (Windows Vista Home). But if I'm going to buy another license to change into Windows 7, heck! I'll just buy a new one instead. Perhaps a net book.

On the other hand, I just got a new mobile phone unit (white Nokia X3-02 Touch & Type) at the start of the year because of plan rebate and upgrade of postpaid plan. For basic necessities like SMS, calls, FM/AM radio and camera functions, it's ok. The downside is when you surf the internet. The screen is very small and I'm confused with its buttons/controls even if I've read the user manual many times. The OS of the phone is Symbian, not Android. Probably perhaps it's not quiped for frequent 'net users like me. For months, I've been studying/looking into Android phones. Not primarily because it's the trend but the necessity of installing applications into mobile phones for quick reference, specifically medical ones. I have an iTouch but having too much gadgets is confusing & heavy on my pockets. I barely use it nowadays, strange as it may sound. 

Both gadgets (the model units I'm targetting at least) are priced almost Php25K. I want 'em both but I have to choose only one and prioritise which I need more - the new netbook or an Android phone? I'm starting to weigh the pros and cons of each one.
