Blackberry has created two great phones that have similar features. They include camera, built in GPS, Media Player, Video recording, maps, wireless e-mail, organizer, browser, corporate data access, phone, sms/mms. Although, they are different in physical appearance they have many of the same features and functions. Consumers will have to really dig when comparing and contrasting them before making a final decision.
For a more in dept look of the two cell phones, I am going to compare and contrast their most popular features starting with the Storm and then the Bold. The display windows of both has transmissive TFT LCD, Font size (user selectable), light sensing screen; supports over 65,000 colors. One however, has a 3.25 inch screen size with a high resolution of 480 x 360 pixel color display and the other has a 2.6 inch screen size with half VGA resolution of 480 x 320 pixel color display.
Next the camera on the first one comes with 3.2mp, auto flash, auto focus and 2x digital zoom. The second one only has 2.0mp with flash but is equipped with 3x digital zoom. Both may require a microSD card to enable the video recording feature depending on the amount of memory available.
The battery life has a slight difference. Stand by time is 15 days and the talk time is 6 hours vs. a stand by time of 13.5 days and talk time of 4.5 hours. Both have a removable/rechargeable cryptographic lithium cell battery.
You will not get lost with either phone because they both offer a built in GPS system and maps. These features allow you to plan and view your trip right on the screen, save a list of favorite places you like to visit and step by step driving directions to any location of your choice.
They both have built in 3.5mm stereo with headset compatibility, integrated earpiece/microphone, speaker phone and Bluetooth ready. However, one has a touch screen keyboard (allows you to type by touch) vs. a QWERTY keyboard (allows you to type on a regular keyboard) on the other. The built in microphone is a great asset to both phones because it allows users to send voice e-mails. This comes in handy when you are in a hurry, donÕt feel up to typing or want to give a message in person but are unable to.
They both have media player which allows you to watch video or audio formatted programs, allow you to edit your Microsoft word or PowerPoint slides (copy and past, adjust font and other formatting) and doubles as an iPod allowing users to create their own playist list for easy listening.
The Blackberry Storm and the Blackberry Bold are very similar with few differences. Overall the Blackberry Storm offers a little more. It offers better picture resolution, more digital camera MPS, a longer battery life and more built in memory. However, if you donÕt like touch screens and prefer the usual keyboard style, the Blackberry Bold offers it. There are such minute differences between the two; one would have to begin to look at styles, colors, prices and services to help them make a choice.

Samsung G600 vs. Samsung J700
On the surface, the Samsung G600 and the Samsung J700 look similar, but how similar are they really?
Both devices are slim and slender, compact candybar style slider phones (which means they both come with a slide-out keypad). They also both just about the same size - with the G600 being 101 mm x 47.8 mm x 14.9 mm as compared with the J700 which is 99.5 mm x 48 mm x 14.8 mm. The J700 is, however, a bit lighter weight than the G600, weighing in at 92 g to the G600's 104 g.
The G600 has a 2.2 inch display screen with 240 x 320 pixel resolution and is capable of up to 16 million colors. The J700 has a slightly smaller 2.0 inch display screen and only 128 x 160 pixel resolution, capable of just 65,000 colors.
Both of these phones run on the AT&T EDGE network, and neither of these phones support 3G speeds. Both phones have Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and a USB v2.0 port, but neither one has Wi-Fi.
The G600 features a speakerphone but no photocall, while the J700 features the reverse - photocall but no speakerphone. The phonebooks in both devices, meanwhile, are each able to store 1,000 contacts, but the G600 can save 10 more each of your dialed, received, and missed calls than the J700 can (with 30/30/30 versus 20/20/20).
Along the same memory-related lines, although both devices sport microSD card slots for expandable storage, neither of these smartphones has very much internal memory, with the G600 having 55 MB and the J700 having 10 MB.
Similarly, the batteries powering the two devices are similar - both Lithium-Ion batteries - but the one with the G600 is slightly more powerful, able to retain a charge for up to 300 hours of standby time and 3 1/2 hours of talk time versus up to 250 hours of standby time and 3 hours of talk time with the J700.
One enormous difference between the two Samsung devices is their digital cameras. The G600 has a 5 megapixel digital camera, but the J700 only has a 1.3 megapixel digital camera. Plus, the camera on the G600 includes autofocus, image stabilization, and LED flash, whereas the J700's camera has none of these. Both devices have some degree of video recording or capture and playback capability, but the G600's is better, being VGA capable at up to 15 frames per second.
For your music listening pleasure, however, both devices have a built-in MP3 player and an FM tuner (though the G600's is in stereo).
What is most surprising about these two smartphones, perhaps, is that it was the Samsung G600 that was released first, in July of 2007, while the Samsung J700 was released in February of 2008. You'd think it would be the other way around because the G600 seems like an upgraded version of the J700. So to sum up, unless you really want a pink smartphone (the J700 does come in black too, by the way) or unless there's a significant deal or pricing difference, then there's really no obvious reason to choose the J700 over the G600.

LG Arena KM900 Mobile Phone
The Arena by LG has been launched in competition to the Apple's iPhone. Needless to say, it has a wide touch screen, great connectivity and good balance of technology and features. The phone also sports an excellent high resolution camera and can be your perfect mate.
Form and Design The Arena is supposed to be a slim built, wide screen phone. However, at 3inches, the screen still remains a tad bit on the smaller side when compared to the iPhone screen. The rest of the story is quite same to the Arena's famed competitor as the phone bears striking similarity of design with the iPhone.
Key Features The new S class user interface is the first thing you will notice about this LG mobile phone. A unique 3d experience that sets the phone apart from rest of the lot also awaits you. A few of the most impressive features of the phone include a mammoth 8GB of Flash memory and a slot for microSD card and a cool 5 mega pixel camera capable of DVD quality stills and video capture. The camera comes with auto focus and a LED flash giving some amazingly clear results.
Other Features This LG mobile phone is also high on connectivity and features Bluetooth, WiFi and GPRS plus a USB port for wired connections. LG Arena KM900 Mobile Phone supports both dual and quad band networks and is the best in LG's touch screen interface.
Verdict It is a good LG mobile phone for those who want a good blend of technology and features from their phone. Also for those who find the large screen of the iPhone too imposing, this might be a good choice. The camera is of course awesome and so is the memory. However, the phone could do a wee bit more with multi media features and seems to be lagging behind there.
