7 Jul 2009It appears that quite a few smart cell phones are developing into either a all touch screen or the full horizontal qwertylthe full horizontal Qwerty keyboard. On the touch screen end of the series of smart mobile phones, the iPhone becomes the standard. On the other end of high-end mobiles are phones with different combinations of touch screen and keys. So far as touchpad focused smart phones are considered, BlackBerry is thebig winner in the field of presenting a user friendly keypad which allows the most efficient emailing and other text-concerned capabilities.
The LG Voyager is kind of all touchpad outside. And the sides to display a little screen that slides up, perch on top of a full Qwerty keyboard. Another new image on theme of the keypad is the quite new Nokia E75. This cell phone is a keyboard fan’s years’ desire. From the front it is similar to a classic bar-type phone, with half of the phone’s real estate sacrificed for the smallish screen and the vertical keyboard. Slide the Nokia E75 open to unveil a full Qwerty keyboard underneath. Of course, nearly all variations could think of all things in between these two spectrums.
Constant in the progress of mobile phones is the allocation of space for phone keyboards and screens. However much mobile users adore these larger screens, none of them can deny that a real touchpad or keyboard allows for the most intelligent typing. Smart phone users mostly for texting, emailing and online chatting pick up a touchpad focused cell phone. Screen lovers tend to use their mobiles for entertainment; watching videos, playing games, surfing the net and skimming through, just about everything way more enjoyable.
The BlackBerry Storm is nearly the first high-end phone that came from catering to the business man’s needs to one which strove to be with all touch screens and click-touch technology. Although there are many mixed reviews, the general consensus is that although RIM has been sick of recommending new things with the mouse click-like technology, the practically usability is not great. In switching to a no-keypad, all touch screen phone, the Storm seems to have failed to capture the unique user experience as the iPhone has.
On the other end of the spectrum HTC’s GI Android phone, in trying to show-up Apple iPhone, included a slide out Qwerty physical keyboard. Having all the advantages of a total touch pad, with just a tiny added thickness to the device, the GI Android phone offers the user a full touch keypad. While, on the surface it shows the best of both worlds, in addition to a new and amazing mobiles OS, it is quite clear that no phone can present the best without compromising something.
What is the conclusion about the evolution of smart phones? The market leaders are mostly those who are possibly all touch pads, but they insist on just one and make it a success
