Talking about top mobile phones is not enough without talking about the HTC Desire. It is one of the best mobile phones available on the market today, offering top of the line features and unrivaled user experience. Since it was first introduced in February 2010, this phone has been highly anticipated. Want to know what HTC Desire has to offer? We are going to take a closer look in this part.
HTC Desire is one of the phones that use AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. The display is so much better compared to TFT-based screens, because AMOLED offers brighter colors and better display depth. The AMOLED capacitive touchscreen used in HTC Desire is capable of displaying 480 x 800 pixels resolution at the utmost quality. The screen size is 3.7”, large enough for maximum viewing pleasure.
This phone uses Android OS v2.1 Éclair as the base operating system. You can also expect HTC to release an upgrade to Android OS v.2.2 Froyo as soon as the new Android operating system is released. The operations of this handset are amazingly swift, especially because a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor is used to power the device.
Aside from built-in GPS receiver, you can also find other connectivity options including Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, and of course 3G connectivity with HSDPA of up to 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA of up to 2Mbps. Connecting to the internet or any private network using the HTC Desire will not be a problem at all.
Samsung is releasing their top handsets and flagship products to the market carefully, with new and improved versions being introduced on a regular basis. We have to admit that the strategy works, because some of the best handsets available on the market today are indeed made by Samsung. They listen to what customers want carefully and translate the acquired information into spectacular mobile phones with all the right features.
The Samsung S8500 Wave is no different, featuring ground-breaking AMOLED capacitive touchscreen for maximum display performance. The screen is definitely one of the best there is, capable of displaying 16-million colors and 480 x 800 pixels resolution. The large screen size, 3.3”, makes accessing features, viewing multimedia files, and using this phone in general very enjoyable for sure.
Samsung uses ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor for the Samsung S8500 Wave. This means the phone is more than capable of completing various advanced tasks swiftly. You can tell just how powerful the processor is as soon as you start using the phone; menus, animations, and fluid user interface along other more advanced tasks are all completed swiftly for maximum user experiences.
Samsung uses Bada OS for this particular handset. The base operating system is enhanced with native TouchWiz UI 3.0 for user-friendliness. Even though this is not an Android handset, you will find this phone worth every penny due to the fact that it packs a lot of features including 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and the latest Bluetooth v3.0 connectivity.
It is always nice to take break off touchscreen-based phones every once in a while. There are a lot of mobile phones offering QWERTY keyboard as the primary input method, although touchscreen may still be available to replace directional pad and make accessing menu and features easier to do. This next handset we are going to discuss, the Sony Ericsson Aspen, is exactly the kind of mobile phone that makes taking a break off touchscreen-based phones highly enjoyable.
Coming from Sony Ericsson, you can expect the Sony Ericsson Aspen to hosts Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional with XPERIA panels as the base operating system. Sony Ericsson is still developing Windows Mobile and enhancing the operating system to the next level, and seeing Aspen comes with Windows Mobile operating system is not surprising indeed. 2.4″ 65K-color resistive touchscreen is used as the primary input method, while the built-in 4-row QWERTY keyboard as well as D-pad navigation makes using the phone highly convenient.
Connectivity has always been one of Sony Ericsson’s strong suits, and the Sony Ericsson Aspen maintain the reputation by including 3G support with HSDPA of up to 7.2Mbps and HSUPA of up to 2Mbps. Accessing the internet using this phone is superbly enjoyable as long as you have quality high speed broadband network available.
If connecting through data network is not your primary preference, you can also use the built-in Wi-Fi b/g module to connect to private networks. With GPS and superb multimedia support also included as top features, you will find Sony Ericsson Aspen highly pleasing nonetheless.

Sony Ericsson successfully launched the XPERIA X10 Mini, a downsized version of the famous XPERIA X10. Apparently, HTC is intrigued by the success and quickly dips its tow into the lower market segment by offering the new HTC Wildfire. Many mobile phone reviewers and avid mobile phone fans quickly notice how the HTC Wildfire looks like a downsized version of HTC Desire.
The HTC Wildfire offers superb 3G connectivity with HSDPA support of up to 7.2 Mbps. It features Android OS v2.1 Eclair as the base operating system, although an upgrade to Android OS 2.2 Froyo is also possible. Just like the HTC Desire, you will also get a multitouch screen as the main input method. Since this handset features smaller form factor, the screen is also smaller than the one used by HTC Desire; a 3.2” capacitive touchscreen is used for maximum usability.
The native Sense UI developed by HTC for the company’s Android-based phones can also be found in the new HTC Wildfire. Accessing features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in GPS receiver, and even the FM radio will be as easy as it can get with this amazingly fluid user interface.
Facebook, Twitter and Flickr are all integrated through Friend Stream, perfect for those who love to stay connected with friends and relatives at all times. You will also find the Android App Market available, so adding more apps and features to the handset will be as easy as 1-2-3. To complete the handset, a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash and touch focus is added.
