Don't want an iphone,well just pick another touchscreen phone

the samsung omnia i900
Many mobile phone have come up with there ownproduct to combat the Apple's Iphone 3G released ealier this year and so I decided to highlight some of the competition that the iphone is facing especially this christmas season,the main contenders are the nokia 5800,samsung i900 and the blackbery storm 9500 and so am just gonna go over some of the similarities of these phones and the iphone.

Similarities
-All are touch-screen phones although the Iphone screen is most superior
-All have accelerometers which are devices that enable the phone to detect when it is rotated
-All have built in GPS function
-All have TV out capability except the Blackberry storm
nokia 5800
-All have wiFi/WLAN capability except the Blackberry storm.
-All are quadband phones(they can operate on 4 2G frequencies so most likely work in any country.
-All support HSDPA data transmission






okay those are the major similarities now let us go to the differences that make them special.
Differences
1.design
In terms of design I have to say the samsung i900 takes the cake due its elegant and metallic like finish,compared to the others that have the plastic look and finish.

2.screen resolution and camera
The nokia 5800 screen has an amazing resolution of 16 million colours and 360 x 640 pixels compared to iphone's 320 x 480 pixels but as for the camera the i900 outshines them all with its 5MP camera with autofocus,stabilizer and flash
iphone 3g
3.User friendliness
Apple have been well known for their easy to use device interfaces therefore the iphone takes this one due to its easy and interactive interface where users can just flick their finger on the screen to so a certain task(this is one of the iphones collest attributes).Also the various iphone apps which increase functionality of the phone.




4.Storageblackberry storm
Another win for the i900 as users have the option of getting either one with 8 or 16GB internal memory and if its still not enough they have the option of adding more via a microSD card slot,as the iphone has no card slot.

Since I have just touched on the surface you can view the individual phone specifications here
Samsung i900
Apple Iphone
Nokia 5800
Blackberry storm 9500

But overall I think the Samsung Omnia i900 is way more superior that any of these phones but it has quite a hefty price tag so if you are considering it you better start saving up.
