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.
Review: HTC Hero

First of all say that I do not like touch sites. I have a LG KC780 for my number current that pisses me off to die to dial numbers on a virtual keyboard, especially when I like to watch the phone.
And with all this, Hero’s captured me from the first moment (which iPhone, for example, did not). Starting from as strange and continuing with the phone that is Linux, so you can rotate and do what you want on it.
Okay, to clarify the situation: I use HTC’s more like a PC (stand on Twitter, on the net, etc..) Rarely talk to him. So I usually watch are stopped and when you use your phone. So I need to feel the finger keys.
I like the virtual keyboard, I feel okay with it already (Midget ask me how I write so easily on the narrow, but just seems wrong). Not a keyboard you try to write a blog post (as was that of the HTC Touch Pro 2, or even the Nokia N97), but certainly it does its job well.
Applications:
The most important thing in this sort of phone is the applications available. That idea, I have a UK number that you can use to buy the Market (although you can take your applications directly on the net without problems).
Well, here there is a store applications, like I said (like iPhone or Nokia), called Market, but not as rich as the iPhone. The difference is that most applications are free, even some who are paid on the iPhone (Shazam is one of those where I think). On the other hand, their quality is rather low (from what I saw), and the games are weak compared with the iPhone or Windows Mobile games (I saw Syberia 2 on WM and seemed to me super hard).

The Touch HD doesn’t benefit from the HD2′s mighty 1GHz Snapdragon, so you might think that emulating Android 2.0 on top of Windows Mobile on HTC’s last-gen superphone would end in tears, but surprisingly, it seems to hang tolerably well. xda-developers has a project coming along to run Android on the handset through a layer called Haret, meaning you can kind of have your cake and eat it too, if you consider Windows Mobile a cake, that is, by switching back and forth between the two environments at your leisure, and by all accounts, Android seems to be just a couple notches slower and more stuttery than your average MSM7200 device. It looks like you still need a cold boot to get between the two platforms, but it’s better than flashing your ROM every time, right?
