For several years now, many people in the world of technology, as well as ordinary consumers, have viewed the iPhone as the very best option when it comes to mobile smart phones. Apple has done a great job advertising and marketing its iPhones, and they are indeed sleek, impressive phones that serve just about every function you could possibly ask for in a mobile device.

However, with that said, there are now more options in advanced mobile technology, and some of the emerging alternatives are pretty exciting. Google’s Android OS has been making quite a mark in the smartphone market. With the release of the version 4.0.x (Ice cream Sandwhich) the user experience and has been made much more sleeker, something that iPhone iOS has always been well known for. The iPhone is however six years old (released 2007) and have not had a major over haul in their iOS in a long time. For an average person, iPhone’s prices might put them off, the pricing for iPhone however competitors can be quite appealing.

For a few examples, consider a few of these android mobile offerings from O2:

Samsung Galaxy Ace

One of the very sharpest mobile phones on the market, the Galaxy Ace is a hot item right now, and has been noted for its fantastic functionality and sleek appearance. The Ace has a 3.5’’ screen, which is a nice size for any touch and viewing screen. Additionally, it includes an 800 MHz processor for fast Internet action, as well as a 5 MP camera that takes truly wonderful pictures.

This mobile phone is free with a monthly payment plan, depending on the number of minutes, texts, etc. that you want available to you. Or, you can pay £129.99 on O2’s Pay & Go program.

Samsung Galaxy S II

For a slightly more expensive but arguably even more impressive android option, consider this sleek new mobile from Samsung. The Galaxy S II was made to be a powerful device optimized for the functions you desire from a smart phone: gaming, web browsing, picture-taking, etc. It has a 4.3’’ touch screen, as well as an 8 MP camera, both of which are top-of-the-line features.

Depending on your specific plan, this mobile costs anywhere from nothing to £179.99 on monthly plans (again, depending on the amount of data usage, texting, minutes, etc. you want), or can cost you £449.99 on the Pay & Go program.

These are just a few of the many impressive Android options you can now find from providers like O2. Many people will still swear that the iPhones are the very best in the smart phone market, and indeed they are certainly part of the conversation. However, as you choose your next mobile phone, remember that there are other options out there that are equally impressive in the eyes of tech reviewers. Depending on what you are looking for in your mobile, and how much you are willing to spend, an Android like the ones mentioned above could be ideal for you.

New things to come. In mean time some Spec ops!

Bilal — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:38:08 +0000

It has been a while since I blogged. Been busy for a while thanks to my third and final year in the University. I am going to be making a few changes over the couple of days (If I manage to find some time from Skyrim ). You will have to wait and find out what changes are due. In mean time do not forget to subscribe to the Facebook and the Twitter Page.

In mean time, as you all would know that I am from Dubai, here is a trailer of Spec Ops for you. The game is set in Dubai it self and I can not wait to get my hands on it. Sad to see all the usual places where I hang out are being destroyed. But it is fun none the less.
