the::unwired on the New Samsung Smartphone and "Windows Mobile Messengers"
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"I got a couple of E-Mails from you guys where most of you asked regarding the comparison between the lately announced Samsung SGH-i320 and the Motorola Q and here we go with some impressive (I think) shots between both devices which should gives you an even better overview how small the i320 is, while I wouldn't say at all that the Motorola Q is huge but it's interesting to see how small you can go:"
Our sister site, Smartphone Thoughts, is obviously covering the i320 Smartphone a lot more closely than we are. However, I particularly liked this comparison shot (a bigger version is in the article) including the four "messenger" Windows Mobile devices, that is, devices with a smaller screen and non-slide-out thumbboard. It's obvious the iPAQ hw series are the largest and the i320 the smallest, but it's remarkable how competitively-sized the Treo is compared to the Q -- in fact, it looks narrower. The Treo does really feel like a "smartphone with a touch screen and Pocket PC compatibility", and Palm has done a decent job striking a balance between the two platforms and helping to blur the Windows Mobile platform a little further.
