Posted by searchaphone 23 July,2010

The mobile phone market, specifically the smartphone market is very saturated nowadays, with manufacturers big and small racing to put their latest offerings on the market.

One such offering is the Snap, a full QWERTY handset from HTC, a manufacturer that was little known for before, and is now gaining popularity for its quality handsets. Many carry the Android operating system for mobile phones, developed as an open source project by IT and tech giant Google. HTC was one of the first to embrace the system, which turned out to be very stable and performance wise, gives other mobile phone operating systems like Windows Mobile or the iPhone OS a run for their money.

Posted by searchaphone 22 July,2010

One of the most – if not THE most – anticipated gadget to come out in the market today is the latest version of what can probably be called the world’s most popular mobile phone – the iPhone 4 from the folks at Apple.

There’s been a load of speculations and rumors about the iPhone 4 before it was even launched, culminating in an exclusive peek by technology website Gizmodo, who managed to get their hands on a lost iPhone 4 a hapless Apple engineer left at a bar one night. The specs and the technology looked promising – the metal case doubled as an antenna (which on paper was brilliant but went bust when applied; more on that later), a much higher resolution, and a lot more added features that just made you want to have one for yourself.
