Android is the most exciting operating system in the mobile arena, and it is housed in some of the coolest phones out there. Let's take a look at three of the best.
Samsung I7500
Android. It's Google's Android OS that gives the Samsung I7500 its undeniable power. Make no mistake, Android is right on the cutting edge of interfaces, by being completely open source, letting anyone and everyone code software for it. Quite literally, if someone can dream up an app for the Samsung I7500, then you can get it, whether it be barcode reader, that can scan products barcodes, then find you the best deal, either on the internet, or using GPS to find the nearest shop to you that sells what you're after. It's things like that which make the Samsung I7500 so compelling, and along with the tightest integration with Google's whole suite of apps, maps and email clients, as well as killer looks, it makes the Samsung I7500 a true force to be reckoned with.
HTC Hero
Android is trying to take over the world, and its new home is the beautiful HTC Hero. It has all the good stuff that made the first Android phone (the G1) good, but puts it all in a touchscreen-only body, which is both sleek and sexy. Since the keyboard has been removed, the HTC Hero also has a full, onscreen keyboard, and a sumptuous new interface called Sense. You also get the Android Marketplace, which lets you download and install third party apps to your HTC Hero, and it ends up creating a smartphone that really can morph into whatever you want it to be. Based purely on that logic, the HTC Hero ably demonstrates just why Android is such a threat to the incumbent operating systems.
Motorola DEXT, with MOTOBLURSo, the Samsung I7500 is the prettiest Android phone, and the HTC Hero is the most powerful one so far, but there's a third alternative. The first important fact about the Motorola DEXT, and the bit that has made it so talked about, is its interface: Google Android, with MOTOBLUR riding on top. As it's the first Android phone to focus on social networking as its key feature, the Motorola DEXT has garnered an awful lot of trade and consumer interest. It's certainly more of a looker (especially in the interface, the newly designed MOTOBLUR UI) than previous Android phones, and that fusion of enhanced looks and the still-awesome power of Android makes the Motorola DEXT a very compelling phone indeed. If social networking is your thing, this is the phone for you.
