The Top Phones You'Ll Want To Buy In 2009
Toshiba TG01 - Power WindowsThere"s no doubt that Windows Mobile is powerful, but the new Toshiba TG01 shows just how powerful it is. The huge 4.1 inch screen and the ludicrously fast 1GHz processor give Windows a whole new lease of life, removing any of the "clunkiness" Windows phones of long ago may have had. In the case of the Toshiba TG01, Windows Mobile is allied to a brand new, 3D interface, with a series of 3 revolving strips that contain all your apps and shortcuts. The animations and actions of the interface are smooth and beautiful, and the Toshiba TG01 proves that as far as operating systems go, Windows Mobile is still one of the hottest properties in the world.
Nokia N97 - a true handheld computer
With the Nokia 5800 all set to deliver touchscreen mobile phones to the mid-range market, that leaves a very big gap at the absolute top-end of the product range; well, there IS a touch-based mobile phone on its way to fill that gap: the frankly awesome Nokia N97. This uses the same Symbian S60 Touch interface and crams it within the shell of a proper, full-tilt smartphone. Which means it"s got a massive, 3.5 inch screen, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and the camera"s been upgraded to 5 megapixels.
The Nokia N97 is, obviously, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it"s genuinely as powerful as the rumours said, with HSDPA, sat-nav, digital compass, and integrated Flash, meaning you get an internet experience that tops any other mobile phones! Put it like this: the Nokia N97 is unbelievable. It easily outdoes other mobile phones and while the Nokia 5800 (or, to give it its development name, the Nokia Tube) angles to take over the mid-range, I"m predicting that the Nokia N97 will totally DESTROY the competition next year!
Palm Pre - the most innovative phone ever...
There"s one soon-to-be-upcoming phone, though, that can top even the heady power of the Toshiba TG01. That may be the pinnacle of Windows Mobile"s evolution so far, and the Nokia N97 may have a brand new version of Symbian to run on, but the Palm Pre is new in every sense of the word. With Windows Mobile growing in user-friendliness and raw power, it"s down to a brand new operating system to really wow us. Say hello to WebOS, as found in the stunning Palm Pre. This takes phone interfaces to a whole new level, easily surpassing the supposed king of mobile phone interfaces, the iPhone. The Palm Pre does this by simple expedient of being at least as user friendly as the iPhone, but with vastly more power and potential. Everything becomes interconnected and synergised, so that the contacts menu on the Palm Pre links into your maps, which links into the browser, which links into email and so on. Everything is interconnected and intuitive, and on top of that, the Palm Pre has one extra thing that the iPhone can"t manage: true multitasking. The Pre is simply one of the most important phones ever to have been announced!
