Racing to get out in front of Apple, nearly every major handset maker has launched or announced new smart phones in the past week. The good news is that the new spate of phones boast better cameras, bigger screens, longer battery life, and lower prices.
You just can’t get it all in one package.
Apple is expected to introduce a new slimmer, faster, iPhone with a slightly larger screen tomorrow and the scuttlebutt is that it will go on sale by the 21st of the month. Those rumors sent other manufacturers scrambling to get their phones out–or at least in front of the press–before the Apple PR deluge.
Nokia debuted its Windows Phone 8 models, for example. The top handset will be the Lumina 920, and many analysts were lukewarm to the introduction. The Windows software is arguably flashier and more flexible than Apple’s, though Windows’ array of tiles and files may confuse some consumers, and Microsoft has a very, very long way to go before it accrues the range of apps available on Android and iPhones.
