The Global Mobile Awards jury decided: the phone of 2009 is smartphone HTC Hero. On the nominations list was found in May 9700 Blackberry Bold, Samsung Omnia HD, Samsung S5230 Star and Huawei U8220 (T-Mobile Pulse).

What can we say, we are happy that HTC Hero was elected, even if Omnia HD was preferred by most of us. Taiwanese smartphone is really valued and dignified facilities, despite some shortcomings such as inability to transfer files via Bluetooth or lack of advanced multimedia support, is back with a huge potential platform (Android). Applications will certainly appear to cover gaps.

MWC 2010 HTC has used to announce a number of phones in November. These and HTC Legend, factual and legal successor of HTC’s Hero.

With minor differences, HTC Legend takes his predecessor design. One distinction is the optical trackpad which took place at the HTC Hero existing wheel. Another difference is that HTC Legend is built from a single piece of aluminum. This is shown by the manufacturer and in the video below.

Beyond the technical facilities construction and not very spectacular, HTC Legend is leading a high quality AMOLED screen. In the smartphone operating system behind Google’s Android 2.1 Obviously, the main graphical interface is HTC Sense.

Overall size of a phone operating system might scare some users. Major producers seem to have noticed this and began to launch mini versions of dedicated terminals. That appeared HTC HD mini, with a thickness of 11.7 mm and weighing 110 g Screen 3.2 ‘is not quite as “HD” with resolution of 320×480 pixels, but probably fits better on the dimensions of 103×58 mm. 6.5.3 Windows Mobile operating system runs on a Qualcomm processor 7227 to 600 MHz, using 384 MB RAM and 512 MB of ROM memory. The reader supports microSD cards with capacity of up to 16 GB.

Although Nexus One is a good phone, his name is more about Google than the Samsung. Thus, the Taiwanese manufacturer has decided to launch version “simple” phone, as the HTC Desire. Obviously there are some external differences, the most obvious being physical buttons, which replace those of his touch and Nexus One’s trackpad, which is now optical. Otherwise, we have the same AMOLED screen of 3.7 “with resolution of 480×800, the same processor at 1 GHz Snapdragon same operating system Android. The latter has reached version 2.1, called Eclair and provide support for HTML 5, and speed optimizations a better virtual keyboard.

There are only a few days until the opening of Mobile World Congress 2010 trade fair (15 to 18 February, Barcelona) – the largest event dedicated to mobile telephony and communications. This year, Global Mobile Awards ceremony (the equivalent of the Oscars, but in mobile communications), we find among others that is in the opinion of specialists the best phone released in 2009. Category has five nominees that we present below.

Blackberry Bold 9700

Redoubtable smartphone is receiving a processor clocked at 624 MHz, 256 MB RAM and OS BlackBerry OS 5.0. On the connectivity offers a complete support, consisting of HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP. Auxiliary branches are the integrated GPS receiver (plus maps BlackBerry Maps) and 3.15 MP camera with autofocus. BlackBerry Bold 9700 ensures a quick handling, thanks to full-QWERTY keyboard and optical touchpad navigation.

The screen measures 2.44 inches and has a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels, thereby overcoming the main competitor of the business category – the Nokia E72. Moreover, E72 is lower and in terms of speed (128 MB RAM, Bold 9700 comes with 256 MB). Sure, the Symbian operating system is more popular and there are many applications for it, so a significant proportion of users would opt for Finnish smartphone instead of Canadian. Therefore, our alternative proposal is the Nokia E72. I believe it can be used more efficiently in terms of software.

Samsung S5230 Star

Can hardly be explained by the presence of this terminal in the list of nominations. As it were dozens of models from different manufacturers and specifications are disappointing: resistive touch screen (there are similar models but with screen capacitance), Lisp 3G/HSDPA and Wi-Fi connections, missing GPS module. Neither the multimedia highlights not too much: 3.15 MP camera without autofocus, QVGA @ 15 fps video recording and Sony’s proprietary interface for connecting headphones.

Currently, the most powerful mobile processors are based on Snapdragon clocked at 1 GHz. HTC, a company renowned for mobile devices with high-performance processor, but wants much more, and scoring on a smartphone to launch it this year may be rightly compared to a laptop, having a processor back to 1.5 GHz, all Snapdragon.

Android operating system will be version 2.1 or 2.2. On the connectivity, the HTC Libra will benefit including support WiMAX technology more widespread in Asia and the United States. Details have not been officially confirmed.

Legend has recently been the emergence of the Internet with two photos of the device itself, the photographs that help us get an idea about the construction of the first device.
As you know, Samsung Legend will be based on the Google Android operating system. It will use the interface Samsung Sense, one of the most successful graphical interfaces of intelligent field devices. In the picture appears on the back of the device we realize that we have to do with a solid end, literally. At least back piece seems to be constructed of aluminum.

Chapter technical facilities did not appear any new information on that occasion. From what I knew before, Samsung Legend will have a thickness of 11.4 mm. The display will measure 3.2 inch and has a 5 MP camera.

When will be released and how much will it cost Samsung Legend are questions whose answer remains unknown at this time.

From what we see, the company HTC is very active in launching a lot of smart phone models, and had heard the last of which information was confirmed by several appearances on the Internet.

HTC Supersonic was confirmed by some “flaws” on the Internet, and began to be released only to the mobile phone operator “Sprint”, and among its characteristics we find some common specifications of the HTC model H2.

Otherwise we mention that it will have operating system Android, a 1GHz processor (known Snapdragon), 1GB of internal storage, display very large 4.3-inch capacitive type and built in OLED technology.

What is interesting is that he will have a higher capacity battery than the average for these smart phones, and will have the same 5 megapixel camera found in model “Nexus ONE.

Yet not known until the approximate date of release, to be held in March, the price still remains unknown.
