Speed - the new buying criteria for mobile phones

Speed. It's a short but important word, because in 2009, mobile phones are getting faster. Let's take a look at the three of the fastest phones on the market.

iPhone 3GS

The first thing that will strike you about the iPhone 3GS is how fast and responsive it is. After all, the 'S' in the name iPhone 3GS does actually stand for 'Speed'. It's up to twice as fast as its predecessor was, and that increase in speed isn't the only new thing. You now get a 3 megapixel camera, a choice of 16 or 32Gb of storage space, and full voice control throughout the whole of the phone. Plus, of course, you get the cool factor that only comes from owning an iPhone 3GS.

Samsung Jet

The Samsung Jet is all about one thing: speed. And to make it mind-bendingly quick, the Samsung Jet has a processor running at 800MHz, faster than just about any other phone currently on sale. Combine that with a beautiful 3D 'Cubic' interface, and the Samsung Jet becomes a true work of art, that's both easy and rewarding to use. As for features, you get a 5MP camera, and lightning fast internet access, making the Samsung Jet the obvious choice if you want a non-smartphone that's nearly as powerful as a true smartphone.

Toshiba TG01

So, there's the iPhone 3GS, which is the fastest iPhone ever made, but is, in a very definite way, not the fastest phone ever, because the Samsung Jet, with an 800MHz processor, is even faster. But finally, there's the fastest, the Toshiba TG01, which also has an unbelievable 4.1 inch screen. That huge screen and the ludicrously fast 1GHz 'Snapdragon' processor give Windows a whole new lease of life, removing any of the 'clunkiness' Windows phones of long ago may have had. In the case of the Toshiba TG01, Windows Mobile is allied to a brand new, 3D interface, with a series of 3 revolving strips that contain all your apps and shortcuts. The animations and actions of the interface are smooth and beautiful, and the Toshiba TG01 proves that as far as operating systems go, Windows Mobile is still one of the hottest properties in the world.
