Smart phone sales have been on the rise, growing 13 percent in the third quarter of 2009 alone. And where BlackBerry had reigned, other devices have started to infiltrate the enterprise. From Motorola’s Droid to Apple’s iPhone, here’s a quick overview of the top smart phones today.
The Blackberry
One of the newest models out there is the Blackberry Bold 9700. It offers WiFi support, trackpad navigation, a 3.2 megapixel carmera, a high resolution display and advanced multimedia playback.
Apple iPhone 3GS
Easy of use, killer good looks, and the proliferation of great apps are what make this a killer device, and several business applicaitons are also available. Apple introduced this update to its classic iPhone this year which offers video recording, a3 megapixel camera, plus some features to satisfy the enterprise-minded, such as encryption.
Motorola Droid
The Droid is the most recent smartphone to be called an iPhone killer, and with its higher resolution screen (WGVA on a 3.7 inch display) and a slide out physical keyboard and a 5 megapixel camera, it does have features that the iPhone lacks. But the brand new device, which uses Google's Linux-based Android operating system, doesn't yet boast the number and quality of apps that are available for iPhone.
T-Mobile myTouch G3
T-Mobile offered the first Android-based phone, which also promised to be an iPhone killer. It's got the celebrity endorsements and the advertising campaign, and the most recent version has a 3.15 megapixel camera, video calling, a 3.2 inch screen, plus its own aps store.
Palm Pre
The Palm Pre was promoted as the device that could make Palm competitive with iPhone and BlackBerry, and shipped earlier this year with a 3.1 inch screen, a sliding full keyboard, WiFi, GPS and a 3 megapixel camera, plus 8G of internal memory.
