If you have been following the smartphone market lately you may have noticed that the market has been experiencing quite a rollercoaster ride. One minute BlackBerry is making a big comeback with its 9800 Torch, the next minute Google’s Android platform is surpassing Microsoft in market share.
If you are in the market for a new smartphone, first of all good luck to you, second you might want to continue reading this post for a quick market recap.
A few years ago, having a smartphone meant you were already ahead of the curve because you could connect to the internet on the go. Now, with numerous platforms entering the market, we are no longer satisfied with just the internet. Instead we have started basing our purchase decisions on operating systems, app selections and browser speeds.
As many of you might remember, a couple of months ago we wrote a blog post on choosing the right Smartphone. We will be the first to admit that our post has already turned into yesterday’s news. So to stay as up-to-date as possible we wanted to recap the latest entrants into the smartphone playing field:
Having the latest smartphone is no doubt great, but lets not forget that no matter how fantastic a smartphone may be, it is useless if it is not a right fit for the person using it. Just imagine a Wyoming Realtor showing a ranch in an Armani suit: she may look great but lets face it people will likely think she has lost her marbles. So make sure you do plenty of research to find the phone that is best suited for you, which may not necessarily be the one that is best suited for the masses.
Now that you have had time to soak up all the information, we want to hear what you think! To spice things up, we thought it would be interesting to see which Smartphone platform ActiveRainers are loyal to. If you want to see your smartphone platform move up to first place, don't forget to vote!
What do you think of the latest smartphones to hit the US market? Are there any other new phones that have you excited? Let us know in the comment section below.
Take care and be safe everyone!
