Smartphone Development
A 3G Smartphone is a much more advanced phone than your regular mobile phone. One of the major breakthroughs in smartphone development is that it runs a complete operating system and has the ability to download and install various applications; these features make a Smartphone a handheld computer.
The main features that a user would look for in a smartphone would be its advanced features/apps, performance and style.
One of the most popular Smartphones around today is Apple’s iPhone. With the new iPhone 4 being released it is fast becoming the go to phone for any user. It has the largest selection of apps and it is one of the stylish and sleek phones around today. The main issue that surrounds the iPhone is its call quality and reception quality, however over the last few years these have become second fiddle to what smartphones offer and iPhone surely leads in what a smartphone should be, and advanced computing.
Blackberry’s have been proven to be very popular over the last few years because of their design, features and style and the RIM Blackberry Bold 9700 duly delivers. This blackberry improves on performance of its predecessor and also has a much sleeker design. The only issue with the new blackberry is its browser capabilities; it is lacking the browser qualities than you would find in even the oldest iPhone. Sprint phones have bulldozed their way into the top mobile phones to have and with the new HTC Evo 4G it is no surprise why. It has great features and a very stylish design; however 4G coverage is very limited and makes it difficult for anyone to justify buying the phone.
HTC Droid incredible is a 3G smartphone from Verizon wireless. It offers enhanced features from the android 2.1 the phone offers 8-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G. This phone lacks in quality audio playback which is one of the main things that holds this phone back.
The Palm pre plus is arguably twice the phone of its predecessor with double the storage and double the Ram making the performance of the phone much better. One of the major improvements of the phone is the add-on of an inductive back cover which allows for charging using the Touchstone tcharging Technology. The phone however does not have camera editing options and does not support V cast music or video.
In conclusion there are many Smartphones to choose from, the most outstanding is Apple’s iPhone, and it is the leading product in Smartphone Capabilities and overall performance. However there are several phones that would be perfect alternatives most notably the HTC Droid incredible which offers great performance and features. So for those that are looking for a new phone then 3G Smartphones is the way to go.
3G Smartphone
My husband and I each bought a 3G smartphone a few months ago. We intentionally picked two different phones because he is a software developer and hopes to create some apps for both phones down the road. I have the iPhone and he has the Android. I am more familiar with the iPhone while he is more familiar with the Android. I’ve come to my own conclusions and have also researched online to find the pros and cons of both phones.
The pros of an Android phone is that it is not limited to the Safari browser which does not have flash as this point. The default browser is faster on the Android. Also while working on Facebook, for example, the notification system alerts you to incoming voice messages, or email. Also, the Android has an open source access so anyone can improve on applications because it is transparent to various possibilities. And various carriers can sell the Android phone. It’s not limited to AT&T as a carrier as the iPhone is.
My personal experience with the iPhone will highlight what I like about it. It’s one component whereas the Android has a separate keyboard. The screen on the iPhone is a bit bigger than the Android. I seemed to have learned the functions of the iPhone faster than my husband has with becoming familiar with the Android. I love the ease of the iPhone, especially downloading apps from the app store. There are developers for the iPhone now so the system is not totally closed off to Apple workers. The sound that comes through on the iPhone is amazing. I have not checked out the app store for apps for the Android but that is equally good in both phones.
Basically, I love the iPhone but there are some drawbacks I don’t like. I have not figured out a way to leave one application and go to another without pressing a button to get me back to the icon page. Any page that is up when I am not using the phone will be the first one up next time. I must admit I don’t know if there is a possibility to change that in the settings so I can’t determine that for sure. It would be nice to have other carriers for the iPhone because that is limiting. My 8 gigabyte phone does not have a flash when taking picture nor does it have video.
However, the Android does have that. I would conclude that both phones have pros and cons but being a person who likes simplicity, I am totally happy with my iPhone. It would take some good convincing to give up my iPhone for an Android and down the road, who knows that might happen but not right now.
