    Apple iPhone vs. Samsung F700: Which is Touchscreenier?

    Apple's iPhone may have been announced first, but Samsung's Ultra Smart F700 (announced yesterda) seems to be one-up Apple's effort in a few feature categories.

    If you'll take a little journey with me, we'll compare the iPhone and the F700 and see which one comes out on top—on paper.

    Samsung F700


    Apple iPhone Samsung F700
    Screen Resolution 480x320 at 3.5-inches 440x240 at 2.78-inches
    Touchscreen Yes, With Multitouch Yes, With Drag and Drop
    Connectivity Quad-Band GSM (850, 900, 1800, 1900), EDGE, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 Tri-band GSM, HSDPA, EDGE
    Camera 2-megapixel 5-megapixel with Auto-Focus
    Keyboard Touchscreen/onscreen Slide-out qwerty with VibeTonz
    Email HTML Email Unknkown (probably not HTML)
    Browser Full HTML Browser Full HTML Browser
    Codec Support Standard iPod Support MPEG4, H.263, H.264, Real MP3, AAC+, eAAC+, Real
    Storage 4-8GB Unknown onboard + microSD expansion

    So it seems like although Samsung's F700 has more megapixels, a little bit more format support, an actual keyboard, and 3G connectivity, the iPhone has it beat on screen size/resolution, HTML Email, storage, widgets, google maps, and push email. Plus, of course, the whole built-in iPod thing.

    We're looking forward to seeing more of the Samsung F700 next week at 3GSM.
