Click to viewApple'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.
| 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 |
| 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.
