There has been so much of hype about the iPhone and its 3G status. I am not sure why everyone is going ga ga about the iPhone. There has been news that Apple has sold more than one million of its 3G phones on first weekend. Then, on the other side of the continent-- there is the new HTC Touch Diamond, another revolutionary mobile device that you might not want to miss out on.
Perhaps you might want to look at what these phone’s have to offer and you can then make your own verdict.
The Apple iPhone 3G
The iPhone 3G has a fast wireless technology, which allows users to make calls by tapping on a friends name, listen to music and watch videos on a 3.5” widescreen iPod with a multi-touch display, and the ability to browse the net with html emails and GPS mapping. It claims to be a ‘personal computer’ and redefines what a mobile phone can do.
Based on the specifications the iPhone runs on GSM Quad band frequency, EDGE Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a 2 Mega pixel camera. It comes with an 8GB (Black Model) and a 16GB (White Model) flash drive and weights about 4.7ounces (133 grams). The iPhone 3G is to be priced from $199 (this is not a stand alone price).
With lots of application platforms that you can download, the iPhone seems to be user friendly. It is rather a good tool to make your iPhone personalised and personal and this will put the internet in your pocket.
HTC Touch Diamond
However, from the other side of the world, HTC has launched its own unique version of its mobile device: the HTC Touch Diamond device. The HTC Diamond comes with a compact size handheld device that comes with a mobile browser and a 3D interface called TouchFLO 3D, which provides animated access to people, messaging, email, photos, music, weather forecasts.
The device runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and supports high speed mobile Internet access, which includes Bluetooth, and also a built in GPS system. The HTC Diamond has a new YouTube application for its users to watch user generated video content and the ability to access Google Maps for mobile mapping and traffic data and it comes with a 4GB internal memory and a 2.8 inch VGA display.
Observing and comparing these two devices based on its functionality and visual looks, I would prefer the HTC’s Touch Diamond mobile device. It is sleeker and smaller than the iPhone and it has a great craftsmanship with a comfortable feel when you hold it in your hand. It is also relatively simple to use as it comes with a Windows Mobile Software, which makes it easy to use as many are familiar with the use of Windows and it also puts the internet in your pocket.
Verdict: Personally, I would prefer the HTC Diamond as it has a sleeker and smaller design with added comfort to hold on to when on the phone.
