Worthwhile Smartphone on Every Platform [Smartphones]

The major thing about your next phone isn’t what carrier it’s on, how big the screen is, or maybe who makes it. It’s the platform, stupid. So listed below are the proper phones on every platform.

iOS: iPhone 4 (32GB)

Duh. Once you can pick up an iPhone 3GS on the cheap, there’s no reason to. Saving $100, you lose out on the iPhone 4′s frankly a-mazing screen, killer camera, faster speed (for better gaming) and FaceTime. In terms of iOS, there is just one choice: iPhone 4. And actually you need to get the 32GB model. Why? Because apps, HD video and 5-megapixel photos can take plenty of space, and you’re gonna be stuck with this thing for two years.

Android: Epic 4G and HTC Incredible

Picking the suitable Android phone is somewhat trickier. But that’s component to the great thing about the platform: There are so damn a lot of them. Do you wish a keyboard? A smaller phone or a much bigger screen? A clean Google experience, or one who’s been tweaked and molded by phone makers and carriers?

So we’re going to cheat and pick two: The Epic 4G on Sprint, because it’s got a large keyboard-for those that must have a keyboard-WiMax powers, a good camera, sweet Super AMOLED screen, and Samsung’s skin is pretty tolerable for most folks.

For the second, we’ve still got a soft spot for the HTC Incredible on Verizon . It’s a touch more pocketable than among the hulking Android phones coming out right away, it’s got a solid (though not stellar) camera, and HTC’s is likely one of the better Android skinjobs obtainable. Plus, it’s just $150-somewhat cheaper than a number of the other top-end Android phones for the time being.

Windows Phone 7 : Samsung Focus

The early Windows Phone 7 phones are a reasonably generic bunch, but the phone that stands proud one of the most is the Samsung Focus. The Super AMOLED screen really shines with Windows Phone’s technicolor interface, the camera’s decent and it kind of feels to do the right job of getting out of ways of the OS, that is the $64000 star of the show.

BlackBerry: BlackBerry Bold 9780

BlackBerry’s touchscreen experience continues to be haphazard at best, so in the event you’re going to head BlackBerry you need to follow the phones they’re best at: the standard BlackBerry. The Bold 9780 is their top-of-the-line BlackBerry, a refreshed version of the present Bold, with a far better camera, more RAM and most importantly, BlackBerry OS 6, so you’ll have the ability to run each of the new apps coming out written for it.

Palm WebOS: Palm Pre 2

Getting your hands on a Pre 2 isn’t as easy as walking into the AT&T store and walking out, but you should purchase it for just $450 unlocked-that’s fairly cheap as far as unlocked phones go. Bonus: You’re not tied to an two-year contract. (That said, it’s coming to Verizon soonish for those wanting commitment.) The Pre 2′s not a revolutionary lunge from the original Pre, but the tweaks add up to a higher phone: a faster 1GHz processor, redesigned case materials and longer battery life. Oh, and it comes with webOS 2.0 right out of the gate, that is a none-too-shabby update to webOS , with fancier multitasking and a number of different new features.
