iPhone, G1 or Storm: Which One Is Right for You?

“Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.”
~Scott Adams.

There is a battle going on out there in cell phone land involving the 3 hottest-of-hot cell phones. I write of course about the iPhone from AT&T, the G1 from T-Mobile and the upcoming Blackberry Storm from Verizon.


All include the obligatory-cool touch screen interface--the G1 also sports a keyboard under the hood for you touch-typing phobes--but each has its strengths and weaknesses. It would be foolish to buy a phone that doesn't meet your needs just because it's popular, so let's take a closer look and compare these three hotties. Perhaps it can help you make a decision about which one is right for you.

The Apple iPhone

It was the first popular touch-screen phone and it sports a very intuitive, clean interface. You can access the internet using the AT&T 3G network when available or use WiFi. It comes loaded with applications that have been tuned to the iPhone and the App Store gives you access to hundreds of add-on application that enhance the iPhone experience. With a choice of 8 MB or 16 MB of onboard storage, the other two phones can't compete on this spec.

On the down-side it is a distinctly closed system--Apple maintains tight control over developers in the App Store. It has a pathetic 2 MP camera and doesn't have a video camera. Some people complain about the lack of a physical keyboard or even a compatible external, portable keyboard. The battery is locked away, so that if it goes, you basically need a new phone.

At $199 for 8GB of on-board storage for a two year contract plus $30 a month data fee, however, it's not the worst deal out there.

The G1

The G1 is the HTC dream running Google's open source Android phone OS. The fact it's open source is a huge advantage for this offering because it means that anyone can create applications for it, not just the ones that Google approves of, and those applications in turn are usually open source, creating a huge open source eco-system. This could result in some very interesting interactions between applications, the different parts of the phone and even other phones running Android. It includes a keyboard, which is a big advantage for some people. It kicks up the camera to 3.2 MP, decent as cell phones go. In the coolness department, the G1 offers a customizable home screen and street view GPS for simple directions, especially on foot.

On the downside, the interface is not quite as clean as the iPhone and adding a keyboard adds extra bulk and weight. It's offered by a small US carrier in T-Mobile (but remember there will be other Android-powered phones in the future). Another big negative is the paltry 2 MB of onboard storage (although it is expandable to 8 MB using a Micro-SD card)

At $179, it's a hair cheaper than the iPhone, but $20 is not likely to affect your decision all that much. T-mobile offers a $25 and $35 data plan. Again, plus or minus $5 is not going to be a deal breaker either way, but chances are you are going to have to invest in a Micro-SD card.

Blackberry Storm

This is the new touch screen offering from RIM, the makers of the wildly popular business phones, the Blackberry. These phones have been famous for their keyboards and their fanatical keyboarding user base. Will Blackberry users want a touch screen? It's a big unknown, but the biggest advantage for any Blackberry phone is how well it plays with enterprise email systems and how comfortable businesses are having its employees use them.

The Storm boasts the 3.2 MP camera like the G1 and also records video (a big point in its favor). It loses points with only 1 MB of onboard memory, which is expandable via a Micro-SD card slot. At first glance from the pictures I've seen of the unit, the interface looks busy, not as clean and sleek as the iPhone interface.

Pricing and data plans are not currently available, but if history holds any clues, it will probably be slightly more expensive than the competitors (although rumors, for what they're worth, peg it at around $199 plus a hefty monthly data fee).

So there you have it, cell phone fans. Three hot phones and you can't buy them all (well, most of us can't anyway). You have to look over the specs, the costs, the pros and cons, and decide which of these lust-worthy phones is right for you. It's not going to be an easy decision, but take comfort in knowing whichever one you go with, chances are you are going to be happy.

Which one do you want? Why do you want it? Leave a comment and let me know.

iPhone

The iPhone may be the gadget du jour among people who routinely pay attention to that sort of thing, but it's also managed to find a warm place in the hearts of those who aren't so tech-centric. At least, it has in the case of Mary Jo Pehl, who prided herself in resisting gizmos until she got her

Breathless, my body trilling with excitement, I hold the small, sleek box in my hand. The sun breaks through the clouds and a choir of angels seems to sing as I open it. Behold! In the hands of this mere mortal -- an iPhone!

No mere telephone this. It is an MP3 player, digital camera, text messager, calendar, GPS , voice recorder, tiny TV, and cell phone. You can check your e-mail anywhere, anytime! Clearly it is a wondrous and magnificent item because you must stand in line at the Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) store for hours to have one bestowed upon thee. It fairly sparkles as I hold it aloft. And for this one fleeting moment, I am modern. Dare I say I may even be ... cool? Hear me, world! I have an iPhone!

Hold everything. Am I the woman who never even wanted a cell phone? Two days earlier, I would have been happy to communicate with two tin cans connected by string. Now I am cooing over this precious little miracle, oohing and aahing over everything it could do. It never left my sight. Had I not had one last filament of restraint left, I would dress it up in cute clothes and carry it around in a baby sling.

What happened?

Chronic Late Bloomer

I have always been a latecomer to everything. For one thing, I tend toward frugality because I think that most of the stuff we "need" is superfluous. But mostly, my overriding philosophy can be summed up in the words of the Marx Brothers: "Whatever it is, I'm against it." Because I am afraid. Every new iteration of the once simple telephone seems like a testimony about technology as a whole, and I cannot keep up. I have seen the tip of the iceberg and I'm overwhelmed. (Granted, this is coming from someone who thinks an ironing board is an engineering marvel.)

It had become rather a point of pride that in resisting the forces of progress, I'd actually circled 'round and become radically progressive in how far behind I was. After all, it was only three years ago I finally acquired a cordless phone after the ancient cord phone finally gave out. Everyone I knew had cell phones, and here I was marveling at the newfangled device that permitted me to move about freely in my apartment and converse -- at the same time! This was that "technology" that people were talking about! Maybe the lemmings were on to something!

Whatever it was, I wanted to be part of it. Just being an average American, I am part of the modern age, whether I like it or not. And so I managed to incorporate computers and the information superhighway and even electricity into my life. It was time, I figured. Who knows, maybe it would even be somewhat helpful to be somewhat less un-current?

And then I got the iPhone.

The Things You Can Do

Like any convert to anything, my addiction to it is now full-blown. With my new state-of-the-art productivity tool, I can do things I'd never planned or wanted to do, like watch YouTube any time I want. The GPS (global positioning system) tracks my progress walking to the coffee shop I go to every day. I can take photographs of my home and send them instantly to my husband, who lives in the same home.

And what is this vague feeling of smugness when people are impressed with the contraption? Why, I'm so in love with the thing I barely have time to register my disgust with myself! Isn't technology amazing?

I know that this mere thing cannot bring me happiness (I suspect they're still working out the kinks in that application). But for this flash of a moment, I feel in step with the rest of the world. Even a little bit, well, progressive.

And ... there goes the moment. It was fun while it lasted.
