Smartphone Shootout Featuring Apple, HTC, Nokia, Samsung
We all have our favorites and as a tech enthusiast its just great to see that no matter your preferred OS or Phone there are great choices available today and/or coming shortly. I remember two years ago critics were saying that Microsoft was too late to the game and they could never catch up in hardware or software with Android and Apple. Looking at this chart its clear that with the arrival of the Nokia Lumia 920 and Samsung ATIV S that Windows Phone 8 has at least two worthy flagship contenders that stand alongside the best that Android and Apple have to offer. This fall is a gold mine for anybody who loves great phones. Cheers to Apple, HTC, Nokia and Samsung for delivering great phones and OSes for us all to enjoy.
