Several years ago multimedia on the phone was not such a big thing. Most smartphone users were on the Symbian or Windows Mobile platform and were more interested in light web browsing, keeping themselves organised and connecting to their all important email.
In today’s smartphone world, as more and more users adopt such, there is a growing requirement for features that the user actually wants, so that the device fits more into their daily lifestyle.
There are many operating systems but without doubt Windows Mobile is the strongest and has the greatest flexibility and integration options.
Now depending on who you are, will depend on what you want but most require improved camera’s, display’s and connectivity options.
Connectivity is part and parcel of any serious smartphone available today. WiFi 802.11g and HSDPA has become the standard, even if the UK is still lagging behind in many areas in terms of HSDPA connectivity and speeds.
It is unlikely that a smartphone going to have a camera that will beat a standard camera, but they can come close. The new Sony Ericsson Satio and Samsung Pixon 12MP are good examples.
Unlikely that any device will have a HD display but they are improving. Many have VGA displays now and Samsung have pushed the AMOLED display, which are exceptional.
You would like to view some video footage, capture a photo all on a device that can keep you connected.
