|
Dear islam, October's been an exciting month with three big hitters released: the HTC Desire HD, the Nokia N8 and the BlackBerry Torch. Each one is ground-breaking in its own way. Plus, check out our best Pay as you Go bargains at the bottom of this newsletter. | | | | HTC Desire HD The HTC Desire HD delivers more power than probably any other smartphone currently available, with the Android Froyo operating system, a 4.3 inch screen, 8 megapixel camera, HD video recording, GPS, 1GHz processor, 14.4 Mbps internet access and 1.5GB of internal memory. It may be big, it may be costly, but if you're excited by the opportunities that the phone offers, you won't find better.
Best buy: *Free* from Mobiles.co.uk . | Nokia N8 The Nokia N8 is the best Nokia we've seen yet, with the latest Symbian^3 smartphone operating system and an amazing 12 megapixel camera with xenon flash and HD video recording. With a responsive touchscreen with pinch-and-zoom capability, GPS with free navigation software and maps, 16GB of onboard memory and great battery life, it's a strong all-rounder.
Best buy: *Free* from Mobiles.co.uk (Black) or Mobiles.co.uk (Silver) or Dialaphone (Lime Green). | BlackBerry Torch The Torch is a groundbreaking phone for BlackBerry, with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system and a slide-out keyboard design. The new OS is a definite improvement over the previous version, but won't alienate existing users. The slide-out keyboard and capacitive touchscreen work very well. The Torch comes with integrated social messaging, a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, a media player, excellent connectivity, outstanding battery life and plenty of memory. Its negatives are its chunkiness, its high cost and its slow processor.
