Following lots of unofficial leaks, Nokia yesterday unveiled the awaited Nokia N900, the first Linux phone for the company.

Research In Motion’s first touch screen smartphone, the BlackBerry Storm didn’t do what it was intended to do, and that was dent the popularity of the Apple iPhone. So RIM is again attempting to put a dent in iPhone 3GS popularity with the new BlackBerry Storm 2 also known as the BlackBerry 9550 reports an article on iphonehelp . Apparently the BlackBerry Storm 2 now features a really responsive user interface and a much better touch screen, where the improved SurePress delivers a much better experience than the original

The results of the survey show a divide between the average customers liking for the Apple iPhone and the moaning from insiders in the industry along with some software devs on Apple’s heavy handed strategy which includes their outing of the Google Voice app for iPhone which is thought to protect the iPhone’s exclusive carrier AT&T.

There are many mobile phones out there on the market and we could give you our favourite but then that would not be fair as everyone has different opinions on what phone is the best on the market, but personally we do like the iPhone . You cannot miss the fact that the Nokia N97 , BlackBerry Bold , BlackBerry Tour and even the LG Viewty Smart ll (We will be reviewing this LG phone pretty soon so keep coming back) are very good phones as well, many of you buy phones for different reasons, i.e
