HTC and Research In Motion shot their cards. A few weeks before the presentation assumed a 3G iPhone, both just presented their new top model, which must compete directly with the first revision of the phone Apple.
RIM is the last to get started. The Canadian presented Monday the BlackBerry Bold, including photos already circulating on the Internet. Known previously under the code name BlackBerry 9000, is the first phone brand to be fitted with a connection HSPDA, 3G +. Cerclé metal as the iPhone, it has a Wi-Fi a / b / g, a GPS module, a 1 GB of memory and a screen with a resolution of 480×320, 65,000 colors.
The main novelty, however, comes the interface, which brings translucent effects without slowing down browsing, is a first test of PCMag. No touchscreen in revenge. The regulars of the BlackBerry would be serious people who would prefer the good old keys, ensures the manufacturer. Either. Price: 300 to 500 dollars this summer, the USA at the moment.
HTC made a choice radically different. We knew the HTC Touch, the iPhone discount whose touchscreen still accompanied by a stylus and whose 3D cube tried unsuccessfully to forget Windows Mobile (see our test HTC Touch), which has not prevented to hear a success estimable. Here is the Diamond Touch, which is to open “a new era in the evolution of mobile”, just that.
On the menu, always Windows Mobile, latest version, 6.1, a careful design and a batch of advanced features. VGA screen, HSDPA and HSUPA (accelerated flows in both directions), 4 GB of storage, a camera with 3.2 megapixel autofocus, WiFi b / g, an accelerometer to change the orientation of photos at the same time that the camera, a module extreme weather “Mac” and shipping refined for use tactile. Unfortunately, the screen format remains the resistive without multipoint. Coming in June exclusively at Orange temporary. The price has not been clarified.
