Buying new phones now may not be a good idea. No, not because of the fuel price hike. Apple just launched its new 3G iPhone, priced at USD199 (previous iPhone retailed at USD399) and will be available first in 70 countries (not Malaysia, yet).
For those who can't wait for iPhone's availability in Malaysia, we have two iPhone killers worth owning, but yet to be available.
1. Nokia's Tube
2. Samsung's Instinct
With the iconic iPhone redefining the user experience in mobile phones, Nokia and Samsung have been toiling away with touch-based competitors to the iPhone. Both touted by critics as iPhone killers. (From my experience, nothing comes close to Apple's user experience). Tube is Nokia's first touch device, powered by the new Symbian operating system with built-in Java support (iPhone does not support Java, but Sun has announced will port JVM to iPhone).
Samsung Instinct has a touch screen (smaller than iPhones) featuring localized tactile feedback, called haptics, which allow the virtual QWERTY keypad and other operations to become a sensory experience. It has features like Visual Voicemail, allowing users to listen to messages in their order of preference and manage them with a simple tap of the screen. It also provides support for (POP3) email, multitasking capabilities that allow the user to play music in background mode while surfing the Internet, texting or playing games, a 2.0 megapixel camera with camcorder and expandable microSD memory of up to 8GB. It also includes a Global Positioning System chip. Does it have a feature that enables one to have more sex?
Here's a great review of Instinct vs 3G iPhone:
