Although possibly not 100% accurate nor technically correct, this article will provide you at least some basic information assisting you as a consumer prepared to make his next purchase for the following couple of years (or how long your contract may be with a carrier) unless you purchase a device at full retail price that won't bind you into a contract.When I was shopping around for a smart phone about couple of years ago, I researched and compared between devices. This were mainly the Android and iPhone. To be honest, I was about to switch to an iPhone (from a blackberry), when Android was introduced to the world. Spending some time researching I figured it was worth it to wait and purchase an Android device, at the time, the G1, which I still own. Although I always crave to get a hold of an iPhone to truly see what I may have missed in a device, I'm well comfortable with the choice I made, hopefully assisting you here to make YOUR comfortable choice, whether it is an Android or iPhone.
I intend on keeping each post brief, and thus will divide this article into several parts.
The first question should probably be what are you looking for in a mobile device?
It seems as the mobile device and computers are merging into one and will eventually meet. Your mobile device WILL be your computer. Although not perfected yet, technology improves in a rapid pace and will eventually allow you to utilize your mobile device as you were using a desktop computer. This can be seen now with phones that project images on walls, keyboard connected to the device, glasses will be your enhanced mobile screen, etc... Currently an advanced smart phone gives you the capability to cloud a lot of your information stored on your phone. In a more simple way to explain - any contact, image, email you produce on your phone syncs with an online server. More on that later. Specifically a mobile phone is no longer a device to only make phone calls, although I'm sure you already knew that. What you may not know is that the most advanced phones to date (March '10) are faster and more capable than the desktop computer back several years ago. If you want a device that will simply make phone calls for you and no more, don't even trouble yourself with either an Android or iPhone - save the money and get a free 'simple' device. Those people are still out there, either not realizing the potential of such device, or don't need the bother.
To summarize:
If you do email, chat, tweet, play games, all in one device, a smart phone would probably fit your needs.
If you just pick the thing up to answer calls and have hard time finding the green 'call' button....
Next - is it gaming you are after?
