Phones manufacturers had made many kinds of phone, but among those phones, there are few of them which are smarter than the others. However, our fellows at the cnet has compiled a comparison test over four of the ’smartest smartphones’ available to date. Please welcome the Nokia E71, Blackberry Bold 9000, HTC Touch Pro, and of course the Apple iPhone 3G. There will be side by side comparison between the Nokia E71vs Blackberry Bold 9000 vs HTC Touch Pro vs Apple iPhone 3G under this post, so keep on reading, guys..

Depending on your needs, you may find some smart phones more useful than others. Take touchscreen phones such as the iPhone 3G, for example — they’re excellent if you’re keen on a large screen for reading documents or watching videos, but not so great if you want to type out massive emails and aren’t used to using an onscreen keypad. Texters, stay away from the iPhone 3G

If the thought of fiddling around with a touchscreen sends shivers down your spine, don’t fear, because smartphones come in Qwerty keypad flavours too, such as the Nokia E71. While some prefer a large slide-out keypad that hides beneath a screen, others might enjoy the simplicity of a keypad on the front of the phone, right underneath the screen.

Keypads and screens aside, it’s a smart phone’s insides that give it its ’smart’ title and these days you can get almost everything you’d find in a laptop crammed into a tiny little phone. If it’s the Internet you’re after, keep an eye out for Wi-Fi and HSPDA (3.5G), and GPS if you’re planning on getting lost during your business travels.

Depending on your email needs, it’s always worth checking out whether the smart phone you’re about to buy is compatible with the office’s email system. It’s also worth looking at what documents the phone lets you view and edit, as some don’t support Microsoft documents, which may be annoying if you like to work on the go.

So yes, when you choose a smartphone, you should choose wisely. And in order to help you decide which smartphone is the best smartphone for you, here comes the comparison between Nokia E71 vs Blackberry Bold 9000 vs HTC Touch Pro vs Apple iPhone 3G! Enjoy, folks.

Review summary	We’ve been year- ning for a phone with a Qwerty keypad that looks good and works like it should, and here it is. The Nokia E71 exceeded our expectations and is a great example of Nokia’s ability to combine ease of use with attractive design. While we don’t like the camera, we think the rest is pretty close to perfect	Unlike Palm, RIM has built up an impressive product portfolio that is made even better by the addition of the Bold. Aside from offering a plethora of features, the Bold’s screen is one of the best we’ve ever seen	This is HTC doing what it does well. The Touch Pro is another fully featured smart phone that deals with email and text editing well. Our only disappointments are that the TouchFLO 3D interface can be slow at times and it isn’t as big an upgrade as we expected from the TyTN II	Apple has taken the iPhone to the next level and added some truly mouth-watering features. 3G is lightning fast compared to EDGE, and GPS means you’ll never get lost again. You still can’t send MMS and there’s only a 2-megapixel camera, which may annoy you, but overall it’s a wonderful experience

Now what do you think? Which smartphone is the smartest? is it Apple iPhone 3G? or Blackberry Bold? or perhaps Nokia E71? or is it HTC Touch Pro? Well…I leave the decision to you guys…

But if you wanna ask me, I’d go for the Nokia E71. Hahaha…

When I wanted to buy a new smart phone, i did a thorough research on a number of mobiles and finally zeroed on two, the E71 and I-Phone. E71 scored over a lot over the I-phone. I-Phone cannot be termed as a business phone. I-Phone a wonderful piece of device, but lacks a number of business features that are present in the E71. I settled for E71 and no regrets. I have the best phone in hand and is quite user friendly. Cheers to Nokia !

Yeah the E71 is a great phone and is loaded with features. I was doubtful whether to buy a blackberry or the E71. I am now thoroughly convinced and will go with the latter.

Editor > I see you have rated the touch pro at 8. Either you havent actually reviewed it or your’e a complete retard. It’s a shit phone that should have gotten a 3 at best

Hello, bolgo. First I have to remind you that using offensive word is not allowed here. However, I have to clarify that I do based this article on CNET review. Hit the source button to find out more. Actually I prefer to review it my self, however I still haven’t had the chance.

I have the HTC Touch pro, and I have to say that Windows Mobile is going to need some real help. It’s a great OS, but it’s too emphasized on being “Windows in you pocket”. Start menu????

Anyway, my actual overall opinion of the device itself is SUPERB! It’s my first ever smartphone, and my first ever device from HTC. They did really well, I only wish for a newer more hip version of Windows Mobile.

So…get an iPhone I guess, lol.

don’t even think of going for HTC , I owned a touch.which died right after its warranty flushed…. shit started crashing . did all flashing and format stuff whatever!!! ultimately took it back to HTC service dickheads. and they said motherboard is fucked up and repairs would cost 70% of the total fucking price… wow what more nasty can a nightmare possibly be. fuck the Taiwan shit guys go for Black berry if you need a serious business connectivity muscle on the go. I own one now…

HTC PRO TOUCH VS E 71 BETWEEN BEST MOBIL

i totally agree the HTC would not have been reviewed as it could not possibly rate an 8 in any comparative review against the others, especially in battery life. I’d rate it a solid overall 3 as well.

Definitely go with the E71. Got GPS, HSDPA, big keyboard for quick emails/sms, everything needed. Stable phone and good reputation for its quality.
