 Smartphone round robbing

Kijk: dit is tenminste een goede manier om een mening over een product te krijgen. Gewoon er echt mee aan de slag gaan! Een aantal smartphone gerelateerde bloggers hebben hun oude vertrouwde handheld ingeleverd en gaan aan de slag met een concurrerend product.

Hier zijn de partnerruilverslagen te lezen.

  • Windows Mobile versus Palm Treo 680: Yet despite all that, I found the Treo 680 to be a very usable smartphone, one that after some 3rd party apps and other smartphone-nerdery came very close to being a device I could be happy with for awhile -- perhaps even for the 18 months it's going to take Palm to release the Linux-based PalmOS. Don't get me wrong, I'll take a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device over it any day of the week, but I don't think I can say that WM is objectively better. It's just better for this power-user's needs.
  • Palm Treo 680 versus iPhone: Well, I am overall very happy with the iPhone and am so glad that I bought it months ago. Moving forward, I plan to use it much more. As mentioned above, I've found the phone reception to be better in the iPhone. I'm so glad that I don't have to choose between the iPhone and the Treo. I love them both and plan to use them equally from now on. I'll probably use the iPhone more as a phone and of course use my Treo as my organizer. It rules regarding PIMs. The iPhone will be my main music and video device and my Treo will be my gaming device. And of course I'll rely on my Treo to create documents since I prefer the Treo's keyboard and also the Treo's ability to copy and paste. I prefer the iPhone's camera though. Each device has fine qualities, great features, super UI's and are a joy to use.
  • BlackBerry versus Windows Mobile: So that’s where I’m at with Windows Mobile and the AT&T Tilt! I’ve been told there is lot of performance and usability to be had out of the Tilt if you “hack” it. I don’t know what the process is, so if any of the Tilt fans reading this want my final taste of Windows Mobile candy to be sweet I’m going to need some help.
  • iPhone versus BlackBerry Curve: I think that iPhone and BlackBerry are diametrically opposed in what they try to do, which makes them complementary. What the BlackBerry is good at, the iPhone sucks at. Where the iPhone excels, the BlackBerry sucks. And both platforms provide updates to their users, which I like. If I worked for a business, that expected me to lug around a second smartphone besides my iPhone, I'd try and finagle my way into one of the smaller BlackBerries like the Pearl. There, I said it. I would hide all but like eight icons on the BlackBerry and use the iPhone for everything else on the sly and let each device play to its strengths. Also, in the event that I ever get sick of having a touchscreen smartphone, I'll look to BlackBerry first (another compliment-dig).
