Question
Hi, I am Tanzim. I was thinking about buying a smartphone. But I am really confused: iPhone OR Samsung Galaxy OR nokia n9 OR Sony ericsson?! Android OR Symbian OR IOS OR MeGo? I am really confused about all that. Which one would be best? I would be very grateful if you could help me.
My personal opinion is that I wouldn't consider Symbian and I'm not familiar with IOS or MeGo. Android is the platform that the vast majority of SmartPhones are being designed for. It's like the Windows is to computers. The two main contenders really are Apple and Android so if you want a SmartPhone where you can take advantage of the apps that are being created each day, choose one of these platforms. The Galaxy is a Tablet, so that's a much larger device than the others. iPhone is by far the best in class and in my opinion, the best maker for Android OS is Samsung. Nokia and Sony are yesterday's news as it relates to what's going on today. Hope this helps.
