February 23, 2011 at 4:19 PM

Since the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung’s most popular Android phone, has been released there has been a great deal of talk, from both phone reviewers and by members of the general public who have bought the phone about it being one of the best smartphones on the market. I have to admit that I do agree with this assertion, the Galaxy S is a fantastic handset. But what is it that makes the phone so good, and why is it better than other phones on the market? Here are some of the better features on Samsung’s flagship phone that will hopefully help you realize just why this is thought of as a very special mobile indeed.

Firstly, the phone has a more than impressive camera. This has become something that is very important to mobile phone owners over the last decade and customers will no longer settle for a below par camera. Although the Galaxy S does not rival the Nokia N8, for example, in terms of mobile phone cameras it does boast a great 5 mega pixel camera with 2592 x 1944 pixels and features such as autofocus, geo-tagging and face and smile detection so you can just snap away to your heart's content.

Google Maps is another feature that comes with the phone as standard and, as anyone who has ever used the service on Google’s website will know, is a fantastic little application. Google maps will use the phones GPRS and 3G signal to find your location and you will be able use the application to navigate, something that I must admit has helped me in the past! You can also find places wherever and whenever you are, allowing you to plan journeys in advance or just browse the incredible amount of maps if that is what interests you.

Finally there is the Social Hub, a real master stroke as it allows you to stay in contact with your friends and family at all times by utilising the social networking aspects of the internet and combining them for ease of use.

Blackberry Smartphones

February 23, 2011 at 12:52 PM

Anyone who knows anything about mobile phones will know about Blackberry. The mobiles, best known for their business features and their peerless email and messaging services, have become one of the most popular ranges of mobiles since their launch in 1999. The firm that develops the Blackberry, Research in Motion, a Canadian electronics company, is less well known but should none the less be applauded for their continuing development of impressive hardware and efficient software that has gathered an army of fans over the last decade.

RIM first developed a Blackberry device at the end of the 20th century, releasing a two way pager that was known as the 850 and first stamping their mark on the world of communications. The first smartphone to be developed by the company was the real beginning of big things for RIM though.

Released in 2002, the 5810 ran on Java and included such features as push e mail, web browsing, internet faxing and, of course, mobile telephone. This could truly be considered a ground breaking model but Blackberry in 2002 was very different than it is today. The 5810 and it’s contemporaries were aimed entirely at the business market but it is RIM’s move into the general public that has seen them truly become big players in the mobile phone business.

Blackberry is now one of the most popular mobile phone ranges all over the world and they contain far more than the business features that made them famous previously. Features such as touch screen displays, optical trackpads – which replaced the extremely popular trackballs that used to be common on Blackberry mobile devices – and top social networking features are common on Blackberry phones, showing just how far the range has come along in the last 9 years.

One of the latest phones to come out in the Blackberry range is the Blackberry Pearl. First developed in 2006, the Pearl has been redeveloped several times and the latest model, the 9100 boasts the optical trackpad, full e-mailing and messaging services from Blackberry and a 3.2 megapixel camera. This shows that the future looks just as impressive as the past for Blackberry.
