I want to receive a smart phone. I really like the multitouch capabilities of the I-phone but I am really interested in android and its being open source, however if I were to receive an android phone, I would want it to be open source and on a better network than t-mobile. First, should I wait for a new Android phone to arrive out or just go with the i-phone? Second has anybody heard of a new Android phone coming out with the capabilities I've mentioned and on a better network?

Some things like mp3 quality, browser capability, battery life, OS (WM vs the number of developers it has vs. Apple vs. its 20 dollar games rumored), call and speakerphone quality, multitouch vs. stylus and keyboard, price to just add onto a family plan, etc... Also, are there any other reasonably priced phones that should go into this comparison?

This isnt much of a question, and im sorry if you find this a waste of your time. Just a quick poll; who here thinks technology sucks? I personally believe every this technology is brain washing. yeah sure its great, but we could live without that stuff. Technology has done some great things, but now its beginning to take over society. For example, the iPhone, yeah its a third generation phone, but who really needs it, the multitouch screen is really nice. But people are becoming more and more dependent on technology and less dependent on themselves. they need to learn to be INDEPENDENT. We are rapidly becoming reliant upon technology, and that just blows. Whats happening to the world? yes, i share a strong opinion over this "technology" issue. but hey, its my opinion, you could think other wise. please feel free to share some of your thoughts and feelings towards the world's modern technology. Thank you for your time:) yes, thank you joey. thanks for pointing that out to me. i am here talking about how technology is destroying our minds, when i myself am using technology.

okay well im not FOR SURE, im just confused. for example the iphon/ipod touch uses a glass screen, so you cant really push the screen in. so why do phones like the storm, or venus, or the game device niontendo ds Always have a plastic screen which inorder to press the button, you have to apply pressure, some alot like on my Venus. why cant they use glass, like the ipod.? the only other media player i know with glass and multitouch is the Zune HD. thanks, im just confused.

I have an ipod touch and a Voyager and I adore it....but Im also in adore with the iPhone and how it looks...should I switch networks and just receive the iPhone and sell my ipod touch on ebay or something or just keep what I have. The iPhone is sleeker and cooler but the Voyager has Mobile Tv and a full Querty keyboard. The ipod touch has just about everything the iphone has except the phone and text messaging and every the phone stuff. Plus, with the iPhone you need Wifi for an internet connection BUT it is easier to work with, with the multitouch and what not. But the Voyager can receive internet anywhere. With every these pros and cons each...what do you suggest? btw, I adore how the iphone looks (even the more bulkiness then the ipod touch) ALSO: the iphone is both of those things in 1. But I adore the Querty keyboard and is it easy to text on iphone and is there a plan where texting is free?

Hi, i broke my old phone (Hooray) so I decided to go Smartphone? Which one should i receive, apart form the iPhone which i don't like. Needs: - WiFI - USB chargeable (mini-USB be perfect) - Vibrant developer community for (free) apps. - not relying on a single application source (like AppStore) - GPS - Multitouch Screen - QWERTY Slider kayboard would be nice, but doesn't have to. DON'T: - suggest iPhone thats a no go. - suggest HTC HD2 - yes that would be the perfect phone, but i'd have nice of a domestic if i shell out more than 500GBP on a phone. Price: below 300GBP would be lovely (sim-free) below 400 is ok too. Thanks! /Edit: Blackberry pushmail plans are too expensive, well for the amount of Emails i need. So while i adore BBs, without a BB-Plan they are useless :)

CES 2009 brought us a new player in the smartphone upper-echelon. Let's drill down and look how the Palm Pre compares with the iPhone and Android's G1. 1. Multitouch touchscreen/gesture control: every three are capacitive, only the Pre and iPhone have multitouch. The Pre's glowy little "gesture area" has dropped the touchable real estate every the way down tto the bottom of the phone, which is great for being able to navigate with one hand and not interfere with the screen at every. The wavey dock you bring up from the bottom looks awesome, but can you use it out of the box without a second thought or page through the manual? That's my question. Advantage: iPhone/Pre tossup. 2. Multitasking: One of the beefiest of our beefs with the iPhone SDK is its insistence on Apps running one at a time. The G1's notifications drawer was definitely a step in the right direction, but the Pre's interface is the first smartphone OS that was built with multitasking as a core design element. Resembling the Xbox's old Blades, or a less-jarring OS X Expose even, the Pre's "Cards" interface always places you in the context of every app running for quick switching, and notifications from other apps don't tug you away completely from the task at hand. Multitasking is hugely important on a phone, and it's a good sign that Palm recognizes. Advantage: Pre 3. Hardware: Adrian says: While the hardware is definitely high quality, I'm not entirely blown away by the design. It looks really nice, and original, but it's a little too cutesy in shape and nice of reminds me of an oversized pebble. A slightly larger screen could have definitely been put to good use, and I really don't like the black space on the sides of the screen. A phone with a built-in QWERTY still hasn't touched the iPhone in terms of sleekness and pure sex. And it might still be a while. Advantage: iPhone 4. Development platform: The Pre's "Web OS" sure sounds nice—every developers need to know is JavaScript, HTML and CSS? Sounds good in theory, but building a mobile app will never be as easy as cranking out a new theme for your Tumblr. Palm's stressing ease of development, though, so it will be interesting to look how it stacks up against Apple's solid, familiar-to-devs OS X-based SDK and Android's fully open source approach. Advantage: Pre? If it's straight-up JavaScript, that's a lot of programmers ready to go. Note: we had iPhone here before, but we've switched with a qualification. Developer community still goes to iPhone for volume. 5. Web Integration: The Pre subtly integrates the internet into the phone at every opportunity, and it's awesome. Contacts receive pulled in from Facebook, Gmail, IM and and scanned for dupes; the messaging app shows your last several emails, IMs and SMS with that contact in a single window. Really, really smart stuff. Advantage: Pre 6. App Store/developer community: A smartphone is only as good as the software it runs. On the Pre, Palm is still keeping application delivery details like pricing behind the curtain, but they did say the app delivery will be entirely handled by the phone (without a desktop app), which is a shame. They're saying that they're not going to duplicate Apple's Hobbesian app approval black box mistake, which Android has also hasn't fallen for, but there will be an approval process based on "security and stability." But as we know with Android, a dev community needs enough devices in the hands of consumers to reach critical mass, which the Pre will have to match. Advantage: iPhone, even with the black box, but Android and Pre's more open stances are reassuring. 7. Wireless charger: We've seen wireless charger tech for years at CES, but it's taken this long for a major consumer gadget to arrive bundled with its possess wireless charger in the box. Whoops, it's not in the box, sold separately for unknown $$. But still: Bravo. Advantage: Pre 8. The Network: Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO, gave our coast-to-coast 3G test a yell out in his press conference. Of course he did: Sprint won (in download speeds). Sprint was the only major carrier without a powerful, hype-catching smartphone choice, and now they have one. The Pre is a data-centric phone with a network we've proven to be strong in a big swatch of the country—that's a good combo. But would you switch to Sprint for the Pre? Ugh. Advantage: Not clip and dry for everyone, but we stand by our numbers: Sprint is the best 3G network in our tests. 9. Physical keyboard: It's preference, but one held by a big swathe of the gadget buying public: physical QWERTY keypads are still the mainstream input of choice. Touch is getting better every the time, but a lot of people still want physical keyboards. But better yet is the ability to pick; unfortunately, the Pre doesn't have a soft onscreen keyboard, and its slide-out is the same meh QWERTY from the Treo Pro. Advantage: It's preference, but on me, the iPhone's soft keyboard can't be beat. 10. Camera: The P re has an LED Flash for its 3MP camera, something both the iPhone and G1 lack. Flash cellphone photos are ugly, but for a lot of people, they're good enough. So credit for throwing it in. Advantage: Pre 11. Battery: Apple's still an outlier with their non-removable battery; like the G1's, the Pre's comes out for a spare swap too. We've heard Apple's reasons for this a million times, we know the drill, but removable batteries will never cease being handy. Advantage: Pre 12. Copy & glue: Yep, Pre's got it. iPhone still doesn't. Advantage: Pre/G1 13. Browser: every three use a browser based on WebKit, which has become the standard for the mobile web. We couldn't put it through our Mobile Browser Battlemodo ringer obviously, but what we saw looked great, and it's the only other mobile browser besides the iPhone that supports multitouch zooming. Advantage: iPhone/Pre So there you have it. We're excited. Are you?

Don't receive me wrong, i have an iPod Touch(and loving it), but I just don't receive why people really into iPhone. Yes, the UI is pretty, yes there are a lot of apps. But iPhone offers very little to no new technology(maybe Multitouch, but that doesn't feels so revolutionary). And everyone keeps comparing almost every new Touch phone with 'THE' iPhone. If you want touch games then receive NDS, if you want good graphics then receive PSP(or even PS3/360, but that's not portable). If you really like the UI, then just receive an iPodTouch and another cellphone. Like me, I have an N97(i know the UI sucks and a bit buggy, but the phone itself is really great) and an iTouche.

if i understand it correctly the finger produces minute current and that the multitouch screen on my iphone detects this current. so the question is how many amps does it take for the phone/screen to detect an object? if so then you would be able to something other than your finger, which you cant. so your incorrect.
