There are many territories that mobile phone companies fight on. Camera phones, music phones, fashion phones… But the big guns really come out to play when you look at smart phones. Let’s check out two of the best in the field, the Nokia N95 and Sony Ericsson P1.
Nokia N95 – the king of Nokia
It was also the first mobile phone in the UK to feature a 5 megapixel camera, a fact that undoubtedly helped Nokia sell thousands of units. But it wasn’t just the camera. If anything, that camera was the just the starting point, and they built the N95 up from there!
The Nokia N95 also featured, in what would become a massive selling point, built-in GPS and sat-nav. Not many (if there were even any at all) mobile phones were including that at the time, and the ability to use your phone as a sat-nav… well, it rocked. Since the N95 was built around Symbian Series 60, as well, meaning you could install your own software, and get this awesome Nokia to do things its creators had never even dreamed of. It was, and is, a true smartphone.
Sony Ericsson P1 – the smartphone king
Sony Ericsson P1 has a 3.2 Megapixel camera with 3x zoom and auto focus, a 2.6-inch LCD touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and support for H.264 video playback.
The Sony Ericsson P1 runs the Symbian OS v9.1 and and UIQ 3.0. It has QWERTY keyboard and 160MB internal memory while there is also a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot.
But it’s not just about features, the experience of using it is the important thing. If i tell you that which mobile is best for that would be my opinion.
MacNN reports that Gameloft, one of the leading developers of games for Apple’s iPod and iPod Nano lines has declared that they will produce at least 15 games for the iPhone in 2008. Frankly, I wish they’d slow down a bit and produce 1 or 2 quality games, instead of shoving 15 out the door. The iPhone gaming market is already looking kind of crowded. With indy developers already tinkering with the iPhone SDK as well, you can expect a plethora of games to hit the iPhone – the question is…how many of them will be good?
