Symbian OS vs Windows Mobile vs Google Android

The 3 big operating systems in the world of Smartphone are always trying to outdo each other. Let’s see what each OS’s ‘ultimate’ phone is like.

Sony Ericsson Idou (Symbian OS)

Symbian Touch evolves in the Sony Ericsson Idou. There’s a reason for that statement: the Sony Ericsson Idou is the first ever handset to use Version 5.1 of the Symbian OS, and boy does it show. Fuse that together with a sleek, touch-friendly front-end, and it add up to the Sony Ericsson Idou being, very probably, the slickest Symbian phone yet produced. That’s not its big killer feature, however, since THAT comes in the form of the Sony Ericsson Idou’s camera, which weighs in at a mind-boggling 12 megapixels. Because of its huge camera and the amazing interface, as well as media playback and social networking better than we’ve yet seen on a phone, the Sony Ericsson Idou has to be one of the coolest phones ever to be produced!

HTC Magic (Android)

Android is trying to take over the world, and its new home is the beautiful HTC Magic. It has all the good stuff that made the first Android phone (the G1) good, but puts it all in a touch-screen-only body, which is both sleek and sexy. Since the keyboard has been removed, the HTC Magic also has a full, onscreen keyboard, a first for any Android phone, lining it up as a direct rival to the iPhone. You also get the Android Marketplace, which lets you download and install third party apps to your HTC Magic, and it ends up creating a Smartphone that really can morph into whatever you want it to be. It really is a kind of magic; it’s the HTC Magic.

Toshiba TG01 (Windows Mobile)

So, on the Symbian front, you have the Sony Ericsson Idou, wowing us with that enormous camera. In terms of Android, there’s the HTC Magic, with the superb Android Marketplace. But Windows Mobile goes down a different route. You see, Windows Mobile needs two things to run at its best: a powerful processor and a big display. Well, say hello to the Toshiba TG01, the phone with the fastest processor AND the biggest display in the history of phones! Weighing in at 1GHz and 4.1 inches respectively, those specs mean that the Toshiba TG01 will run Windows Mobile more smoothly than any other phone in existence; as well as that with that immense screen, the Toshiba TG01 makes drilling down into menus, and actually getting into the internals of Windows, so much easier. If power is your thing (and lets be honest, who doesn’t want a powerful phone?), then the Toshiba TG01 is the phone for you!
