Modern touchscreen phones – the showdown between Symbian, Windows and Android

Touchscreen phones are rocking the area. Let’s have a look at three of the best currently out there.
Nokia 5530
The first phone up is a fully new entrant into Nokia’s Xpress range of music cellphones, the lovely Nokia 5530. This one’s quite obviously designed for music and video. Then, in fact, the Nokia 5530 has a wonderful touchscreen, to can help you play with those different media files. Basically, the Nokia 5530 was designed to be a teeny portable jukebox and picture player, and as music phones go, this is often pretty much the sweetest. The Nokia 5530 has also got a three megapixel camera, HSDPA data access and sat-nav, making it a superb all-rounder, in addition an outstanding media gadget.
Toshiba TG01
Windows Mobile haven’t been resting on their laurels, and the brand new fruit in their labours is the ultra-powerful Toshiba TG01. Not just does it have the most important screen ever seen on a cell phone, measuring in at 4.1 inches, however the Toshiba TG01 also has the foremost powerful processor put right into a cellular phone. Dubbed Snapdragon, the 1GHz processor gives the Toshiba TG01 power, and many it, and because that’s what’s had to let Windows Mobile live as much as its full potential, the Toshiba TG01 is arguably the simplest WinMo phone that’s ever been announced.
One thing’s needless to say, though, the Toshiba TG01 is certainly the foremost powerful phone in this list.
HTC Hero
So, there’s the Toshiba TG01 , which depends upon raw power to make Windows Mobile truly awesome. After which, there’s the Nokia 5530 , which wows you with its Symbian OS and its music playback. However, there’s an open source alternative to these two. Android is making an attempt to take over the sector, and its new house is the gorgeous HTC Hero. It has each of the great things that made the 1st Android phone (the G1) good, but puts all of it in a touchscreen-only body, that’s both sleek and sexy. Because the keyboard has been removed, the HTC Hero also has a whole, onscreen keyboard, and a luxurious new interface called Sense. You furthermore mght get the Android Marketplace, which helps you to download and install third party apps on your HTC Hero, and it finally ends up making a smartphone that truly can morph into whatever you desire it to be. Based purely on that logic, the HTC Hero ably demonstrates just why Android is this sort of threat to the incumbent operating systems.
