THE SMARTPHONES RACE

NOKIA FACING NEW CHALLENGES

Without any doubt Nokia is the world’s leader manufacturer of mobile phones, but recent trends in the smartphones arena have made Nokia to return to their drawing boards and released one of its high tech N97 which was announced in dec 2008 in Barcelona Spain at Nokia world.It is one of the Nokia’s most prominent touchscreen device equipped with a wide 3.5inch(360×640 pixel) touchscreen display.A sliding phone and QWERTY equipped,a fifth edition S60 symbian OS. A great piece of device on smartphone platform.Since the release of iPhonein June 2007 and a year later on July 2008 iPhone 3Gwas launched neither resting,they made it again and released more smarter iPhone 3G S.This was released on June 2009 just almost same time with Nokia’s N97 and Samsung’s Omnia HD.The surge in releases from phone makers has reinvented high tech as the norm for quality products.

As seen above Nokia’s N97 and Samsung’s Omnia HD specifications showing a tough race to win Global attention. Every new high end phone released on the market today is more high tech giving you more options.It’s the software applications that really make these phones more smarter than others. For example the default Home screen iPhone 3GS has not less than 20 applications which gives a user broader options.Coming to the data field as seen
above samsung’s Omnia HD claim of data speeds of upto 7 mbps is a hype I don’t buy that, cause there are so many things
determining data speeds for example your ISP,position, cache, cookies, phone memory and how to use your phone.

Different strategies are used in being the best out there.Some handset makers insist on improving the hardware and some
have opted for software as most consumers don’t care on what ‘s the built in hardware is.For example Samsung has opted to make a great piece of hardware out of its smartphones and apple’s iPhone has beautified its phone more on appearence and great software applications.On the other hand Nokia may decide to make an extra powerful phone with great features but fails in screen size, battery or applications.

Smartphones do resemble a Small computer on your palm. Softwares like Word.Excel and photo editors once only accessed through a computer have been mabilzed and now we can have office on the go.Apple have even made easier to write and post your blog on their iPhone.

Recently many users of the new iPhone 3G S complained of overheating which made Apple to update
its online support documents. This is a sensitive matter to Apple taken the success behind their last releases.Apple response on
overheating issue was to blame users for improper use of the phone citing using in high temperatures was the cause.
Apple say the iPhone 3G S is twice as fast as the previous iPhone 3G but the amazing thing with the iPhone 3G S is the first iPhone to include video recording which
can record upto 640×480 pixels at 30 frames per second.This is way too behind when compared with other smartphones with 12 megapixels and worse it’s their first venture in video platform.One of the greatest innovation included in iPhone 3G S is an application to locate a lost iPhone on a map and a remote wipe feature if stolen The other intresting thing with iPhone is that it supports Multi-touch and a special coating to resist finger prints which Apple competitors cannot manage.

You can assume that Samsung and iPhone are leaders in the touchscreen platform by their new major releases.
For example Samsung Omnia PRO B7610 has a 3.5 inch (480×800) pixels display and a slide out QWERTY keyboard,
supported with 3.5G for data.WiFi and GPS.This is an improvement taken that Samsung is taking the leader Nokia by the
head not leaving any stones unturned. Nokia is on the edge can they stand the heat?.

But no matter what, mobile makers are focused on personalizing technology to our palms away from the big
computer.If a neo-mobile processor is 600 MHz same as a computer pentium III or even better,bigger storage capabilities, then we are seeing some early signs of mobilizing the computer for good.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the amount of data sent over a connection in a given amount of time.Or in other words bandwidth is used to measure the data sent over a connection.

Broadband

Broadband is a connection used in data communication, and it supports highspeed data transfer.Technically it is more defined to refer to data transmitted in multiple pieces of data sent at a go and with high speed.

GPRS

GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Services.GPRS has data transmission speeds of 115 kbps but it can be limited to around 35 kbps It is mostly used mobile internet and MultiMedia services. GPRS uses GSM networks to transfer data .The data transmitted usually comes in the form of packets.

EDGE

EDGE means Enhanced Data for Global Evolution and can also be called Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) EDGE is considered 2.5G and has a maximum speed of 475 kbps which is three times faster than the aged GPRS system. EDGE can have an average speed limited at 135 kbps compared with GPRS at only 32 kbps.To meet the requirements of EDGE both the GSM Network and the phone must be EDGE supported.

3G

3G can be defined as 3rd generation. Its includes High data speeds and great voice capabilities. 3G also enables
Live streaming video. It has very high speeds on data transmission and probably a great step in the wireless world.
3G has twice the speed of EDGE and can be put close to 800 kbps when using supported phone.There are different 3G standards for example HSPDA, UMTS. And it seems 4G is on its way, probably will match the revered Fiber optic.
