Fighting the iPhone - Samsung and Sony Ericsson mega-phones incoming!

By: Mobileshop.com LTD

With the launch of the iPhone 2 due to happen soon, the big manufacturers are ramping up their development on new super-powered mobile phones designed to take it on and beat it at its own game. Today, I'm looking at two of the largest, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
There are some things set the iPhone apart from its competitors, in the game of mobile phones. First up is the full touchscreen interface, something that HAS been seen on other devices, but never this slick, before. But more crucial than the screen itself is what's inside, and it's here where fans of the iPhone say it has a distinct advantage over its rivals. To put it simply, the iPhone has the slickest user interface around, one that is sublime to use, on top of being awesomely powerful. It's an amazing combination, and one that really sets it apart.
Well, it did until now, because the fact is, the leading manufacturers of mobile phones (try saying that if you're drunk) are catching up, and soon, we'll be getting their OWN touchscreen devices, designed to beat the iPhone. Actually, it's already started, with the announcement of the amazing Samsung i900.
Samsung mobile phones - i900 against iPhone
Let's deal with the exterior of the Samsung i900, before we get into the details of what's inside. It's pretty obvious that it's heavily influenced by the iPhone, but that's no bad thing. You get a groovy, huge touchscreen, and the body is made predominantly of metal, something that really gives it a classy air, and makes it look absolutely mouth-watering. The screen is massive and bright, and to be frank, it's one of the best looking mobile phones I've ever seen. Inside the Samsung i900, it gets even better, as the whole thing is based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, making it truly powerful, and a unique interface, making it slick! You also get a 5 megapixel camera, god knows how many multimedia options, and a huge 8Gb of memory to store your stuff!
In essence, then, it's going after the iPhone big time. But what about that other bastion of the mobile world, Sony Ericsson?
Sony Ericsson mobile phones - top secret iPhone beater incoming!
Samsung have got the i900 as their secret weapon, but Sony Ericsson have potentially got something even more brilliant up their sleeves. But the thing is... no-one knows what it is! I mean, it doesn't even have a codename yet, but we can put together some hints and do some logical thinking to work out what we'll be getting. The first clue is that Sony Ericsson showed a new version of the UIQ operating system a while back, that was quite obviously influenced by the iPhone. Second clue: a Sony Ericsson promo video recently showed not one but two unheard-of mobile phones, with no name and no branding... but they DID say to keep an eye on them, as they will be coming out later in the year. Add that to the fact that we have an entirely new line of phones from Sony Ericsson, the Xperia line, designed to give the user unique experiences, and I reckon it's abundantly clear that something absolutely amazing is going to be announced by Sony Ericsson, soon!
