Phone Arena presents you with a side by side comparison of the iPhone 3GS and HTC Nexus One, so you can get a good idea of their similarities and differences, and in the end, hopefully you will have a better feel for which one is right for you, assuming you haven’t committed yet to one of them.

If there’s anything professional about Meizu M8, it’s got to be the PR action surrounding it, since the device recently got a very neat promo video, showcasing the features of its UI. Notice that it borrows a lot from other platforms and check out the vid below:
A couple of weeks after announcing that it’ll develop an in-house called Bada, Samsung launched the platform in London. The event took place yesterday and the features of the OS get showcased in the video below. Notice a couple of feats borrowed from iPhone OS and overall, the OS looks like nothing new, if you ask me.
Bada OS is all about touch devices, since it’s based around Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. The mockups shown at the event looked very much like the Pixon12 models and back to the new platform, it’s meant to “increase the market share of smartphones up to 50%” and it’ll allow developers to mess with all sorts of handset features and sensors.
Flash UI, motion sensing, proximity and face detection, plus all sorts of interactivity options will make it to the future apps. Social networking will also be approached, as well as location-based services, sync, content management and more, once the devs start using the SDK and creating apps for Bada.
The SDK is available right now and Samsung seems more keen on reaching developers at this point, rather than consumers. There’s even a “Bada Challenge” set up by the company, allowing devs to win part of the $2,700,000 prize by submitting apps for the new operating system. Expect further events to promote the OS internationally and app store for it as soon as software is developed.
PhoneDog’s Adriana Lee had the unique opportunity of messing with the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi in the same video session. She compared both devices in a 10 minute dogfight, that can be checked out in the video below. Slim candybar phone meets the original slider. Who wins?
Palm Pre was announced in February 2009, being the first webOS smartphone on the market and packing a very cool 3.1 inch TFT capacitive touchsreen display, with a 320 x 480 pixels resolution. Pixi was announced in September 2009 and it features a poorer screen, a capacitive TFT touchscreen as well, but this time with a 2.63 inch diagonal and a 320 x 400 pixels resolution.
Both devices sport a QWERTY keyboard, but the Pre features a sliding one, while the Pixi integrates a front full QWERTY keyboard. Since we’re in the similarities section, both handsets feature an 8GB internal memory, no memory card slot, Palm webOS, HSDPA connectivity and a 3.5mm audio jack. Pre’s camera is far better, thanks to its 3.15 megapixel resolution, enhanced fixed focus and LED flash.
Pixi sports a 2 megapixel unit with flash, no video and no secondary camera. Also, this device lacks WLAN… Although the second webOS phone looks rather poor, for the right price it could become a hit, if you consider it a stripped down Pre.
Sony Ericsson X10 unboxing and hands-on video by HDBlog.it. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is the manufacturer’s first Android phone. It is rather high-end, equipped with a 1GHz Snapdagon processor, 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 480×854 pixels and an 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus. However, its software features are just as impressing. What it adds to the Android universe is a personalized interface, called UX (from User eXperience). Basically, UX combines various entertainment and social media features.
