Wi-fi? They don't mention it, although I guess 3G may be sufficient. And I think that "Full HTML" is a total lie, one that they are opening themselves up to liability for.
Again, it is a total comparison of hardware features, when the iPhone is really about the software. It just shows that, like the iPod, nobody else gets it or is willing to spend the time getting it right. I mean it is now how many years, and the other MP3 players still often have interface flaws.
Hmmm. I think Helio needs to work on their reports of horrible customer service which is what kept me from considering them. Also the phones are okay at best. They are nowhere near as cool as they should be for the market they want.
Yeah, given that in Brooklyn they claim to have complete coverage but I can't even make one phone call without a drop (this despite a supposed 5-bar status), I think that they should spend time building more towers instead....
Hmmm.. maybe because they want to totally overcharge you to get MP3s on your musicphone and make you rebuy your music? Or did they discount those music phones.
Camera... sure. Crappy LED flashes make everyone look like ghouls. Rarely have autofocus and only now are 3mp phones coming to market that are the minimum for anything considered keepable.
And the Symbian OS is barely a smartphone OS in most of its implementations. Smartphone should either have stylus entry or a keyboard to be counted.
So why don't you link to this study and its methodology so we can see what is really going on?
I assume the owner paid the extra gas and compensated everyone for their lost time? Probably too much to hope for...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
