Palm Centro, Samsung i760 best designed handsets

We all know there are different kinds of research methodologies and you should always check several sources before making any judgments. But this one comes from Strategy Analytics whose buyer behavior writeup suggests its the Palm Centro that users picked as the best designed handset. Now don’t get me wrong, the Centro is quite nice device — as a matter of fact it’s probably the best looking Palm OS based smartphone ever. But what about the iPhone, or some of the Nokia and HTC models? HTC Touch anyone?

Anyway, what struck us the most was that the Samsung i760 took a 2nd position in the survey. Say what? Were users just exposed to these two phones? Apparently not, as Nokia Prism and LG Rumor also scored few points along the way. Still they were not considered to be “multifunction and fully integrated” enough, whatever that means…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
