Q. I'm considering buying a phone but I wonder which among these phones I have considered is the best. These are my options:
HTC Desire
Samsung galaxy S
Sony Xperia x10
Iphone 4
Blackberry 9780
I want all in one phone. A phone for business, entertainment, camera, etc...
A. Update: find out whether we think the iPhone 4 is the best phone in the world.
Apple's launch of the iPhone 4 has seen the greatest excitement for a new phone ever - and with HD video recording, a super high-res screen and ridiculously slim dimensions, it's not hard to see why.
But things are a little different now - not only was the iPhone 3GS something of a non-update to the iPhone range, but there are finally decent alternatives in the smartphone market, with the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S leading the Android fight right to Apple's door.
Add to that the first major leak of an Apple product a couple of months before launch, and suddenly the iPhone 4 has a lot to do to impress.
At least Apple has unleashed the big guns for this effort - before we get into the headline specs, the design itself is a massive talking point on its own.
Jobs' chats on stage to unveil a new iPhone might have got a little repetitive (best this, magical that etc) but this is the first time since the first iPhone way back in January 2007 that we've seen a variation on the standard iPhone design.
Gone is the traditional curved back and plastic exterior with slightly chunky dimensions; in is a chassis that's only 9.3mm thin at its thickest point and a new stainless steel and glass industrial design.
If you're an iPhone fan, there's a good chance you won't like the look of the iPhone the first time you pick it up - it's the same weight as the iPhone 3GS at 137g, but it's a lot smaller, with dimensions of 115.2mm x58.6 mm x 9.3mm, so it feels like a much weightier and compact model.
The edges are stainless steel, apparently forged by winged unicorns in an iceberg (or something) to be 10 times stronger than 'normal' steel.
The front and back of the phone are made of glass, which has also been treated to be a lot stronger than the normal variety we're used to seeing through and drinking out of.
This claim holds up - not only did we feel the need to drop the phone onto the floor a few times to test, someone nameless of the TechRadar team also knocked it out (an admittedly low level) window onto concrete - and not a scratch.
If you're the protective type, then you can buy an official 'Bumper' for the iPhone 4, which encases it in a small ring of rubber, if you haven't bought the handset only for its slim lines.
The chassis shape isn't the only different thing with the iPhone 4 - the whole ethos has been tweaked. For instance, no longer is there a slightly plasticky rocker switch to control volume on the left-hand side, as it's now two discrete metal buttons with '+' and '-' written on.
The volume silencer rocker switch is above too, but that has also undergone the uber-metallic treatment.
The top of the phone still holds the headphone jack, and the power/lock key. However, the 3.5mm port is now flush to the chassis, and the power button feels much nicer to hit than before.
There's also a separate microphone for noise cancelling next to this as well - we imagine a few people will be pushing paperclips in there before they realise that it's not for the SIM card slot.

What's in the box?
The screen features a 5-inch (130 mm) (sometimes stated as 4.99-inch[13]) PenTile RGBG Full HD Super AMOLED screen with 441 pixels per inch; it is made of Gorilla Glass 3.[14]
The S4 comes with either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, which can be supplemented with up to an additional 64GB with the microSD card slot.[15]
The S4 GT-I9505 includes a multiband LTE transceiver and both models feature an infrared LED that can serve as a universal remote control.[5]
Built into the 2600 mAh battery is near field communication (NFC) connectivity, which allows users to perform non-touch payments at shops that employ specially equipped NFC cash registers. The SC-04E model has a FeliCa secure element, unlike other models which contain an NFC-A secure element. The NFC-A secure element on the SC-04E is provided on the SIM card. The battery can be wirelessly charged using a Qi standard special charging pad (sold separately) that utilizes magnetic resonance to produce a magnetic field through which power can be transferred.
The Galaxy S4 supports the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video format.[5][6][16]
In addition to the touchscreen, the S4 has several physical user inputs including a home button located near the bottom of the screen, at the bottom of the S4 is the primary microphone and the microUSB port for both data connections and charging; it also supports USB host and MHL 2.0. There are volume keys on the left side and a power/lock key on the right. At the top there is a 0.14-inch (3.6 mm) headphone jack, the secondary microphone, and infrared blaster. The backside of the S4 has the 13 megapixel camera lens and LED flash, and at the bottom left edge has the loudspeaker.[17]
The S4 features a sensor that when the the cover is closed, it displays on a screen window that allows view-through access to alerts and status. This sensor is utilized by the Samsung official accessory, the S View Cover.
What should I go with? Samsung Galaxy S3 or Nokia Lumia 720?
Q. I have a big dilemma about it. I have a few priorities, which I want my phone to fulfill. Please help me accordingly. Descriptive answers are welcome.
These are my needs:-
1) Friendly and fast interface.
2) Nice loud microphone and speaker for good quality calling. I had had a Micromax A57 in the past and its call quality is not worth mentioning.
2) Quick email and office stuffs. Saying that, what I mean is -- my emails should not have problem in sending attachments through my phone. Office stuffs means -- small presentation or word processor works.
3) A nice clear screen to read PDF eBooks, since I love to engage myself in reading something. So a good display of the books I read as PDF is a must.
4) Headphone quality should be awesome, since I am a music freak.
5) Camera -- it should be vibrant and I should be able to click pictures with ease and in awesome quality.
6) I don't have time to play games and whenever I have, I don't mind playing smaller ones. So I want something, which has a processor, which can run decent games.
7) The call and message alert is a big problem I faced while using android 2.3. My notifications used to be caged on the topmost corner in the android interface. So a phone, which can give a loud notification sound or some kind of alert is welcome.
Other than that, in short I can say is, all the basic features should be top class.
I can go for either of them. But some good advice will help me take the correct decision.
THANKS :)
A. android is much better than windows phone. yet do not remember android is deeply flexible and you can change every thing you want. every part you have problem with, can be replace with a widget or an app. but how about windows phone?
