The smartphone arena is all set for the operating system showdown of the century. Let’s check out the three main contenders.
Toshiba TG01
There’s little doubt that Windows Mobile is one of the big operating systems in the world. However, to get the best out of it, you really need a phone with a fast processor, a big screen, and a custom user interface on top, not unlike the Sony Ericsson X1 or HTC’s range of handset. Well now, there’s a new kid in town, called the Toshiba TG01, and it fulfils all three of those criteria. Not only that, but as well as the custom interface, it has the biggest screen of any mobile phone, and the fastest processor, coming in at 4.1 inches, and 1GHz, respectively.
The Toshiba TG01 is quite simply the most powerful Windows Mobile phone out ther
Samsung Omnia HD
Now let’s check out the Symbian contender: the Samsung Omnia HD. It is on this list for two reasons. First, the Samsung Omnia HD is built on Symbian, so whilst the interface will be familiar (the top shell is TouchWiz), the phone gets a massive power boost over its lower-end siblings, giving it real smartphone credentials. The other factor that makes the Samsung Omnia HD so spectacular is video. Not only does it take still images at 8 megapixels, but the Samsung Omnia HD will also record video in true, 720p resolution, high-definition video. No other phone in the world can do that yet, so the Samsung Omnia HD must surely be the best 8MP phone in existence!
So, there’s the Toshiba TG01, which relies on masses of raw power to give you an exceptional experience. 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.
