It’s the old, old story, that’s played out across PCs and mobile phones: operating system versus operating system. Let’s take a look at three of the best mobile OSes currently on the market.
Samsung I7500
The first important fact about the Samsung I7500, and the bit that has made it so talked about, is its operating system: Google Android. As it’s only the second phone to officially go on sale using Android, the Samsung I7500 has garnered an awful lot of trade and consumer interest. Even more importantly, the Samsung I7500 is the best-looking Android phone to feature a keyboard-less, touchscreen-only design, a thing that seems to be all the rage in 2009. It’s easily more of a looker than any previous Android phones, and that fusion of enhanced looks and the still-awesome power of Android makes the Samsung I7500 a very compelling phone indeed. If innovation is your thing, this is the phone for you.
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.
So, there’s the HTC Touch Diamond2, which relies on Windows Mobile and a beautiful interface on top. And then, there’s the Samsung I7500, which wows you with its Symbian OS and its HD video recording. But for ease of use and sleekness, nothing can touch the Palm Pre. With its WebOS operating system, the Palm Pre is easily the most intuitive phone on the market. Not only that, but the integration between apps on the Palm Pre is like nothing ever seen before, making it feel like the phone is, at times, doing your thinking for you. There’s never been a phone like the Palm Pre, and for that reason, it must surely be the phone of the year, so far.
