My 5 Favorite Smartphones
Here's a list of my top 5 favorite smartphones.1. iPhone 3GS
2. Evo 4G
3. Nexus One
4. The Droid
5. Palm pre plus
OK, now for my reasons.
iPhone 3GS: I love the apps. With 170,000 to choose from, you'll never run out of new apps to download. The user interface is so good. My Mom loves her iPhone, and she knows how to do pretty much everything on it. I don't think it matters that the iPhone doesn't have the best specs; it's still very fast. If Android phones could optimize the OS the same way Apple has the iPhone OS, Android would scream on the 1 GHz snapdragon processors.
Evo 4G: what do I need to say? It's a beast. It has the best specs on a mobile phone ever! The front facing camera would be awesome to have. With an 8MP rear-facing camera you can take some really nice pictures, and if you live in a city with fast Sprint 4G, this would be a great choice. Oh, and it has HTC sense UI and Android 2.1.
Nexus One: the first device to offer Android 2.1 and is sold on Google's own website. It has a handy trackball that you can use to navigate the screen which I think would be very useful for clicking tiny links on web pages. This phone also has a 1GHz processor. I love the form factor of this HTC phone. You can only buy it unlocked on Google's website.
The Droid: the best selling Android phone ever and one of the few with a physical qwerty keyboard, although many people do not like the keyboard. With Google's voice navigation, its map's application is a winner. All Android phones with 1.6 firmware and above include voice navigation.
Palm Pre Plus: if you want super multitasking, then this is the phone for you. I really like Webos. I think its qwerty keyboard is too small but that's just me. Palm isn't really doing very well right now, but I still really like Palm devices. I don't love sliders though because of the wiggle in the sliding mechanism.
So those are my top favorite smartphones. I have an iPhone so I hope I didn't sound too biased.
I also like the HD2 but it's not in my top 5. Feel free to tell me what smartphone you use in the comments and why you like it.

I would have put the Nexus one above the Iphone. It has a larger screen and performs faster with the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. Don't get me wrong, I love the iPhone, but the fact that your ranking it because of the apps does not seem right. If it was just based on phones Nexus would win hands down. Besides, its only a matter of time before Android catches up on the apps.
ReplyDeleteThe phones I put down are MY top favorite smartphones. Now I don't think Android will catch up to the iPhone app count or at least for years and years. The Android app store is not growing as fast as the Apple app store. Plus I don't think the Nexus is faster. The iPhone is about as fast as it gets.
