Despite the endless battles between Apple iPhone's fanboys and those who would relentlessly be labeled as "haters", I'm seeing myself stuck in between the two. You just can't have the best of both into one single device, not as of yet. Each comes with the pro and cons to it. I don't want to be biased to any of the devices as much as I can but the followings are my findings and comparison between two amazing devices that caught my attention: Apple iPhone 3Gs 32GB and HTC Touch HD.
Lets have them in tabular format so it would be easier to digest what's cool and what's not for both of the devices.
| Apple iPhone 3Gs 32GB | HTC Touch HD | Favorably | |
| Processor | ARM Cortex A8 600MHz & PowerVR SGX Graphics | Qualcomm MSM 7201A 532MHz CPU | iPhone |
| Operating System | iPhone Mac OS | Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional | Both |
| Display | 3.5 inch 16M colors | 3.8 inch 65K colors | HTC |
| Handwriting Recognition | No | Yes | HTC |
| Memory | 32GB storage | micro SD | iPhone |
| Camera | 3.15 mega pixels | 5 mega pixels | HTC |
| Secondary Video Call Camera | No | Yes | HTC |
| Radio | No | Yes | HTC |
| Java and Flash | No | Yes | HTC |
Most of the other features of both are pretty much the same and not really that worth to mention in my opinion. From the table it would seem that HTC is more favorable so far. In terms of speed, iPhone has 600MHz which is fast. The use of internal storage of 8/16/32GBs helps as well. The only competitors in terms of processor speed I found out so far is Samsung Omnia which uses Marvell PXA312 624MHz CPU and BlackBerry Bold which uses 624MHz CPU as well.
Probably the reason I would get an iPhone is because of the graphics. I kept getting this notion that iPhone is over hyped due to the massive media promotion but as a whole the device is very appealing needless to say. If you like the iPhone's interface, I've seen that one done on a HTC. Watch the YouTube video below. It does look impressive.
