Smartphone Showdown

Get smartphone

RIM today announced the arrival of the Blackberry Storm, but what will it be pipped up against? We've rounded up this motley crew of smartphones to see if the Storm could take the smartie crown?

BlackBerry Bold 9000

Love: Punchy, bright screen. Still best for email. Decent talk time. 3G and Wi-Fi for rapid surfing

Hate: Quirky operating system. Too wide for comfy or non-stupid-looking calling. Basic camera.

We say: The fastest, coolest and most effective BlackBerry so far, and a true iPhone rival.

Storm breaker: Well the fact is the Storm whoops the Bold's tush.

iPhone 3G 16GB

Hate: Lacks talk time. Poor camera. Limited Bluetooth

We say: It's not perfect... but it's pretty darn good

Storm breaker: Stunning touchscreen and interface

HTC Touch Pro

Love: Gorgeous, high-res screen. Screen-waking stylus

Hate: No memory card in the box. Chunky and heavy. Tricky keyboard. Interface is fun but unreliable

We say: Too big and too slow

Storm breaker: Slide out keyboard

Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 8GB

Love: Tasty interface. Five-meg camera. Opera browser

Hate: Stylus on a lanyard is less than sexy

We say: The most stylish touchscreen phone outside of Cupertino, but ultimately no match for the iPhone

Storm breaker: Five meg camera

Palm Treo Pro

Love: Slim build. Responsive touchscreen. Well-spaced keyboard. Dedicated Wi-Fi button

Hate: Basic camera. Windows Mobile in general

We say: Great touchscreen, svelte size and decent features, but perhaps a bit lacking in va-va-voom

Storm breaker: Slim build

Agreed. It baffles me how some designs make it past product testing... The Palm looks like a calculator.
