To think,
only a year ago, Samsung was in fourth place in terms of bestselling
smartphones, but it has since skyrocketed to first place, beating out Apple,
Nokia and Blackberry, and Nokia was in first just last year to, but it has now
has dropped to third, but I think there is a chance that it will rise again
someday, everything has its ups and downs every now and then, there’s no saying
were Nokia will be a year from now, same thing with Samsung, Apple and
Blackberry, I think that every smartphone, no matter the carrier, will have its
time in the spotlight, it’s just that now it’s Samsung’s turn, and for the past
fourteen years, it was Nokia’s turn, but with the release of the Galaxy Note, I
think it will be a while before that happens.
If you’re a
fan of Sony more that Samsung, Nokia or Apple, then the new Sony Erickson might
be the smartphone for you, well I don’t know it you would consider the Erickson
to be a smartphone, it’s more of a PSP Go, that has the capability to make
phone calls and text messages, and the next generation is going to have some new
features, but the one that is getting the most attention right now is the fact
that it is getting a patent for dual keypads that will be, you guessed it,
touch sanative. Sony is currently talking with the US patent office to get the
idea patented for them. Now I have no idea if Sony knows that Apple has a key
pad for the iPad that you can split apart so that it feels more ergonomic when holding
the device in your hands, but then again, it’s not patented, and I have no idea
if the patent that Sony is getting is for two qwerty keypads, or on that has
half on one side and the other half on the other side of the screen, there is
no way for me to tell until the phone is out on the market.
