Featuring a top of the line 4 Super AMOLED screen with very well-off and deep energetic colors, it really is hard to hit. It uses the same WVGA resolution as the Quantum and expounds on it with the Super AMOLED’s ability to provide superb visual quality in pictures and videos, as well as the simple stuff like apps and messages.

This one is a hard one to disagree with; both phones have 1 GHz CPU built in, but the Focus has 512 MB RAM inside, compared to the 256 MB RAM in the Quantum. Both phones have the same battery size and type, both Lithium Ion batteries using 1500 mAh.

The Focus has an advantage for button placement. But on the Quantum, 2 out of 3 buttons are touch, while the Windows button in the middle is a physical button that is placed a little further. For example, LG has its own app store in Marketplace called “LG Apps Store”, and Samsung has one called “Samsung Zone”.

This leads me to believe that LG has more plans to continue expanding its Apps Store. Both phones use 5 MP cameras, and both have 720p HD quality available.

Verdict

An final face-off between the two very good and powerful phones. The difficult thing is finding a real winner between the two, because as you can tell, both phones won almost the same number of categories. It’s been a wonderful experience to play with both phones and would be happy using either one.

It’s a cute little stainless steel device that offers a numeric keyboard and basic touchscreen functionality. It runs on Symbian Series 40, so it’s likely to be very basic. It looks a bit like the older Nokia 6700 and 6300 devices, and can be used with just one hand — ideal for you multitaskers.

It carries 3G, Wi-Fi and a 5-megapixel camera with flash. Storage-wise, it supports microSD memory cards of up to 32GB. That steel bodywork could also make it stronger than you might expect.

It’s a fairly low end Android device in a smart but fairly unremarkable grungy design, but reviews have been very positive, LG have shown some in both hardware and their own software add-ons, the pricing is right and the “LG” badge on it certainly does not hurt sales.

This is an Android 2.2 smartphones with various LG-sourced software enhancements. Inside is a 600 MHz CPU, which doesn’t seem like much when high-end devices are 1 GHz, but then the Optimus One’s fairly reserved hardware doesn’t need much. Well, the 3.2″ 320 x 480 pixel display is about as basic as Android phones get, but it certainly does the job… Especially for first time smartphone users and the Optimus One has a capacitive touchscreen much is much nicer to use than the resistive panels found on many rivals.

The HTC Mecha would be getting some great response to their carriers, i.e. Verizon as it’s the first mobile that supports the 4G/LTE network of Verizon. The official release of specifications is not yet made, but through some sources, we found that the screen would be of 4.3-inch, 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, a front facing camera, all this making the Incredible HD a similar member of HTC Evo 4G, and the actual primitive model i.e. HTC Incredible was not taken into consideration for an upgrade.

Vodafone revealed it had started the rollout on its forum, and owners ready to upgrade should have found out from a text message. You’ll need to use Samsung’s Kies software to download it, rather than it being an over-the-air update. To perform the upgrade, follow the instructions we’ve helpfully provided here – we recommend a swift backup beforehand.

There have been reports that the update has taken a while to download, possibly due to the number of people trying to update at the same time. Some users also seem to be having trouble with Kies if you’re having issues, it would be wise to check the forum to see if there’s already a solution.

Those who have performed the update successfully seem to be happy with it. There’s been the expected performance boost over Android 2.1, plus a smarter layout, some new features and an improvement with the Galaxy S much-criticized GPS.

There should also be some new call settings, one allowing you to bar calls from unknown numbers. Vodafone seems to have listened to the many complaints about bloatware it was putting on Android phones.

The most notable is the 5-megapixel camera, which offers up far superior shots than its forebear. We were genuinely impressed by the quality and honestly weren’t expecting so significant an improvement. Sadly, the same can’t be said of the phone’s video-recording prowess, which is sketchy at best. Those of you expecting RIM to jump on board the increasingly popular 720p-capture bandwagon are going to be severely put out by the 9780′s blocky and jerky footage. One element of the phone’s specification which hasn’t changed since the 9700 is the CPU, which remains locked down at 624MHz this is comparable to most low-level Android devices these days.

Conclusion

While there was nothing particularly wrong with the Bold 9700′s design, to make its direct successor almost identical does strike us as a little lazy. The internal improvements made by RIM make the BlackBerry Bold 9780 a pretty enticing proposition, and the inclusion of the BlackBerry 6 operating system at least ensures the phone is up to date. That said, it’s clear the software has been coded expressly with touchscreen devices in mind, and this can make using the 9780 a little awkward.
