With the likes of HTC, Sony Ericsson and Samsung in the big smartphone super phone market I think these phones are getting ridiculous. Technology has advanced so rapidly recently, with 3D screens, 1 GHz processor, 4.3 inch screens etc.. But now the two smart phones that will be coming out later this year are BIG. The HTC titan, a windows phone with an overly sized 4.7 inch screen for easy document editing and a hyper fast 1.5GHz processor. This may seem ridiculous but Samsung have just released an android operated smartphone called the "Galaxy Note", this will be competing with the Titan, it has a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor made by Samsung. The screen is not pocket-sized any more it is more like tablet sized, with inches of super HD MOLED screen, this is the most advanced phone up to date. These 2 phones are going to be the future role models for other companies. In my opinion the mobile phone industry is getting ridiculous, what do you think?
I prefer older phones. Ya' know, simple phones that text, call, can take pictures, and record stuff. My phone has Internet access, but I don't use it often since it's slow, everything is very small, and I can't do things I like on it. As for smartphones, I think they're only good if you want a mini computer. Otherwise I'd stick with a normal flip phone. I don't like touch screens because they're too sensitive and break easily.
yeah I'm getting my first smartphone which is the Sony Ericsson xperia mini pro, I have the Sony Ericsson w995 right now which is a very good music phone
I stick to the good "old" phones as well. It might be tempting to have one of the gadgets, but I don't have a lot of money, and I can access the internet properly through my laptop anyway. And touch screens... yeah, no, not my thing. This is however something I should probably learn how to use to add that competence to my CV... It makes sense in context.
I have an HTC desire (about as old as the Iphone4), and I'm quite happy with it. Although if I was given a choice of a free smartphone, I would definitively choose the Samsung galaxy S2, and not an Iphone.
