Let’s take a look at 3 of the most exciting phones to arrive in the year 2009, smartphones that really show off what power their respective operating systems are capable of…
Nokia N97 – Symbian
After the triumphant launch of the Nokia 5800, which was only ever meant to be a mid-range phone, Nokia needed a new top-ender to really wow the public. And that top-ender is the hyper-powered Nokia N97. It takes the brand new Symbian Touch interface, and adds in bags more power, as well as a full QWERTY keyboard.
The impressive nature of the Nokia N97 doesn’t end with the exterior, as it’s what’s inside that really impresses. Equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, it effortlessly switches from phone to camera, letting you leave your separate camera at home. And then, of course, there’s the media player, and with a massive 32Gb of integrated memory, the Nokia N97 lets you leave your mp3 player at home. And, of course, with HSDPA data speeds, and WiFi, the Nokia N97 even morphs into a miniature laptop when you need it to.
Toshiba TG01 – Windows Mobile
Windows Mobile phones have had a tendency, in the past, to be a bit clunky. The interface wasn’t the best, and that ruined all that power they had. But now, we have to face facts; the Toshiba TG01, the most powerful mobile phone EVER made. That’s not an exaggeration, the Toshiba TG01 is the first phone in history to have a 1GHz processor, taking its performance way beyond any mobile phones before, into laptop territory. Combine that with a unique 3D interface on top, and at 4.1 inches, the biggest screen of any mobile phone, and the Toshiba TG01 is all set to take its rightful place as the most powerful and best Windows phone that’s ever been released.
Palm Pre – WebOS
However, there’s a new kind on the block, that aims to take the smartphone crown all for itself. The Nokia N97 and the Toshiba TG01 both go for raw power, but what the new Palm Pre goes for is sheer elegance. Using the brand new, never-before-seen WebOS at its core, the Palm Pre takes touch-friendly interfaces and innovative design to an entirely new level. Take, for example, the new Fandango app that should be available when the Palm Pre is launched. It’s an online cinema booking service, that lets you buy tickets and watch trailers on the phone. But even the Nokia N97 will most likely be able to do that. The Palm Pre, however, will also put an automatic reminder in your calendar, and contact people who are going with you, to organise getting there. It’s that kind of integration, and interplay between apps that makes the Palm Pre the real candidate for best in breed.
