Let’s take a look at three of the newest or upcoming smartphones, to see which can win in the battle between Windows Mobile, Symbian and the newcomer, WebOS.
HTC Touch Diamond2
The HTC Touch Diamond2 actually does a very good job of making it so you don’t have to go into standard Windows menus that often, as on top of the operating system, the interface is HTC’s patented TouchFLO 3D setup, where everything is achieved through various finger swipes and sweeping gestures. It is truly intuitive, and it’s the reason why the HTC Touch Diamond2 is such an unmitigated joy to use. Of course, it’s not all about being pretty, a phone needs to have decent features and the HTC Touch Diamond2 has them in spades, from the 5 megapixel camera, through GPS, to incredibly fast HSDPA internet access (not to mention the superb Opera Mobile web browser). To many, the HTC Touch Diamond2 is the ultimate Windows Mobile phone.
Samsung i8910 HD
Sitting right at the top of Samsung’s product range, there’s the awesome Samsung i8910 HD. It doesn’t just have the looks. It doesn’t just have an 8MP camera. The Samsung i8910 HD is a true smartphone, using the powerful Symbian OS. On top of that, though, it has a 3D version of the TouchWiz UI, making it simply incredible to use. And finally, there’s the Samsung i8910 HD’s party piece: its camera doesn’t just take phenomenal photos; you see, the Samsung i8910 HD is also the first phone in history to record true HD video. It really is as powerful as phones come, and if you want an uncompromising smartphone, with just about every bell and whistle imaginable, you need the Samsung i8910 HD.
So, there’s the HTC Touch Diamond2, which takes Windows Mobile to new heights. And then, there’s the Samsung i8910 HD, which wows you with its Symbian OS and its HD video recording. What does the Palm Pre offer that’s different? Well, one could talk about the WebOS interface it uses, as it’s unique in the annals of phone history. And indeed, there’s one feature of WebOS, directly related to the keyboard, that makes the Palm Pre so cool. Universal search. Now, many phones do that, but the Palm Pre does it so much more cleverly. Just start typing what you want to know about, from the front screen, and the Palm Pre will search your contacts, apps, music, pictures, and even the internet, to interpret and find what you’re looking for. That really is a cool feature, and it may well make the Palm Pre the coolest QWERTY phone out there. If you value the interface above all else, the Palm Pre is the phone for you.
