Mobile Phones Offer Consumers an Increasingly Broad Range of Alternatives to the iPhone

With the rising popularity of Apple’s resoundingly popular iPhone, other mobile phone manufacturers have decided that they want a piece of the proverbial pie. Each of the big mobile phone makers are working to put their foot forward into an emerging market that is being warmly embraced by consumers around the world. In terms of handheld mobile phones, the touch screen innovation has definitely advanced what users expect out of their mobile devices and this means that despite any stranglehold Apple may appear to have on this sector of the market, its competitors are briskly sweeping in to give the electronics giant a run for its money.

The HTC Hero is one such phone that is offering its customers a 5 megapixel camera on its handset that runs on the Google Android software. Nokia’s latest offering, the N97 sports a stereo FM receiver, 32 gigs of memory and a 3.5” touch screen above a kick out QWERTY keyboard. T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G offers consumers a choice of black or trendy merlot on their offering that comes YouTube ready for users who favor heavy video usage. Samsung’s latest handset, the Galaxy, promises a high end handset experience that has thus far failed to impress reviewers in the press, but a longer battery life may change the minds of those looking to buy one.

With the influx of new touch screen handsets, those seeking mobile phone deals are bound to find retailers increasingly willing to offer improved pricing as the manufacturers go to war over dominance of the market. The touch screen world is sure to get increasingly more competitive as consumers all but abandon traditional phones in favor of these much more feature-rich alternatives.
