Review of Top 3 Smart Phones
Smart phones are now the must have gadget for every business person and tech savvy consumer wanting to stay in touch when out and about on the move, but if you haven’t invested in one yet and you’re not sure where to start to begin the processing of choosing which is right for you then this review is here to help you.
We have selected the smart phones that, in our opinion, are the top three of those available at the moment and reviewed the available information about them and their apps to help you make your choice. Of course, everyone is individual so what might be perfect for one person isn’t going to be quite right for someone else, so don’t worry about the order of these three reviews. It’s all about what is right for you and the way you would like to use your smart phone.
The Apple iPhone 3GS is one of the most popular smart phones for a reason. It is easy to use, has a multitude of functions, an amazing array of downloads available, which is still growing, and is outstandingly quick to launch the required apps. This phone has all the usual features you would expect of a mobile phone these days, i.e. the ability to make calls, text, send and receive MMS, take photographs and shoot video.
However, on top of these basic functions you have internet tethering allowing you to surf the web from just about anywhere, multi-touch interface, visual voicemail, message threads for SMS and MMS, voice control, the ability to cut, copy and paste, maps and GPS, and a whole array of apps available for download allowing you to do just about anything from your phone.This phone is great for the business user or the average consumer who likes to stay in touch.
The Nokia N97, the latest offering from the largest phone marker in the world, is a great option especially if you don’t like the virtual keyboard of the Apple. The keys are better spaced on the QWERTY keyboard that is revealed when the screen is swivelled upwards, making it very easy to e-mail and message quickly.
Anyone who has ever owned a Nokia cannot fail to have noticed how easy the menus are to navigate around. There is something about the way a Nokia is put together that always feels right and their competitors never seem to beat this.The touch-screen display is simple to use and easily customisable.The 32GB memory (the same as the Apple) can be extended through the use of SD cards, allowing you to access thousands of hours of music, video, photographs or films, and the camera is an impressive 5Mp with flash.
What lets down the Nokia is the available apps for download, which are limited and not that easy to download! However, if you wish to use Skype to make free internet calls then the Nokia is for you (as long as your network allows Skype traffic over 3G). I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this smart phone for business users, but for those who make a lot of long distance calls and like the availability of the additional function s on this phone then it is certainly a pretty good bet.
The BlackBerry Storm is a great touch-screen phone which some may think is the traditional domain of business users, however don’t dismiss it if you are just an interested consumer rather than a business user. The features of this phone include the usual mobile phone array along with maps and GPS, e-mail and document download, internet browsing, tethered modem, social networking ability and of course their own range of apps. The apps are easy to download, simple to access and there are a good range, which is growing steadily. The BlackBerry is an excellent alternative to the Apple and more suitable for the business user than the Nokia.
Any of these phones will make a good bet, however I suggest you have a look at the features that are most important to you before you decide which way to go.
