My name is Patcharaporn Laobundhitporn. People call me patt as a nickname. I am 19 years old, a sophomore at MUIC. My major is BBA-TIM and my minor is Spanish. I am interested in traveling, art and dancing. My future goal is to travel the world seeing new things, knowing new people and getting a life fulled with adventures and laughters, but before that I am aiming to graduate within 6 years with both bachelor and master degrees.

IPHONE 4 Build and design

At 9.3mm thick, the new iPhone is 24 per cent slimmer than the iPhone 3GS, and Apple claim it's the "slimmest smartphone on the planet.” It’s built with stainless steel and glass for strength and scratch-resistance.

Processor

Apple’s bespoke A4 processor nestles within the new iPhone’s innards. It’s the same as is found in the iPad and provides super speedy operation and quick multi-tasking.

Operating system

The recently renamed iOS 4 brings much sought-after multi-tasking, the ability to organise apps into folders, the iBooks store, threaded email and the new iAds in-app advertising platform to the phone. iOS4.1 which has just been launched, adds uploading hi-def video over Wi-Fi, High Dynamic Range photos, and a Game Centre for multiplayer gaming.

Multi-tasking

Double tap the home button to see a list of recently used apps and switch between them. Crucially this means you can listen to third-party music apps (like Spotify) or receive VoIP calls while using other programs.

Display

Apple calls it the ‘Retina Display’- it’s 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 960x640 pixels, four times more pixels than the iPhone 3GS. With 326px per inch and an 800:1 contrast ratio, it's been lauded as better than OLED.

Battery life

A bigger battery, coupled with the Apple A4 processor's efficiency, make for claims of 7 hours 3G talktime, 6 hours 3G browsing, 10 hours WiFi browsing, 10 hours music, 40 hours of music, and 300 hours of standby.

Connectivity

Connectivity is Quad band hspda/hsupa, giving a potential 7.2mbps down, 5.8 up. An 802.11n Wi-Fi chip will provide blistering speeds when in range.

Camera(s)

The camera’s had a major beefing. This time there’s a 5-Megapixel cam on the back with a backside illumination sensor and LED flash, plus a VGA cam on the front for the new ‘FaceTime’ video calling feature. It’ll also shoot 720p HD video at 30fps.

Data storage

16 and 32GB models are available

Apps

You know the drill; paid and free apps from all and sundry on the App Store. At the time of writing there are around 225,000 apps. Apple tightly controls what makes it in.

Special features?

The new iPhone benefits from the iMovie app ($4.99) that lets you extensively edit and upload videos on the phone. There’s also a built in Gyro, for 6-axis motion-controlled gaming, plus a dual mic with noise suppression tech built in. Apple thinks its FaceTime video calling feature will “change everything.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

HTC Desire Build and design

HTC Desire: A simple, understated but ultimately classy design, built with a rubberized plastic back to be reasonably tough. The new optical track pad eschews the trackball for slimness and aesthetics, while tactile buttons at the bottom feel better than the Nexus One’s touch-sensitive ones.

Processor

The increasingly popular Qualcomm SnapDragon processor gifts the Desire 1 GHz of power, making it extremely swift.

Operating system

The Desire ships with Android 2.1, but is soon to get the ‘Froyo’ 2.2 update. According to reports, this will make it 450% quicker, allow you to store apps on the MicroSD and gift support for Flash 10.1 during web browsing.

Multi-tasking

The Android platform supports multi-tasking like a champ, letting you easily switch between several running apps. Heavy multi-tasking does take its toll on the battery life, though.

Display

A 3.7-inch AMOLED screen that provides pin-sharp detail while not being too power hungry. Being OLED, it can prove hard to read in bright daylight.

Battery life

400 minutes of GSM talk time, 390 over 3G. HTC claim the Desire has 390 hours standby time.

Connectivity

Near identical. HTC say the Desire boasts a 7.2 Mbps download speed and 2 Mbps upload speed over 3G. The Wi-Fi chip is the same as the iPhone: 802.11 b/g.

Camera(s)

The Desire sports a very impressive 5-Megapixel camera with LED flash. Video and images aren’t HD, but it’s certainly up there with the best smart phones around. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  Nokia N8

For the phone that I would choose from the three, It would be Nokia N8. The main reasons are software, camera and design. All in all the specs of these three are nearly the same, for example, they all have memory slot which can be up to 32GB. And they can access to the internet as well, so with the similarity of hardware, it brings me to look at the software instead. With iPhone, in order to put music or vedio on, I need to do it through the program iTune, which from my experience with iTouch, it is sometimes complicated. With nokia n8, you can easier put stuffs into the phone directly through USB and I like that. Coming to the camera, Nokia N8 has the highest number of pixels, so I choose it because of its quality. Talking about the design, just really simple, I prefer to own white mobile phone and smaller size rather than owning a black and super formal-look one like HTC. Nokia is my only choice here definitely.
