When Is A Feature Phone as Good as a Smartphone?

3 replies · 2,353 views · Started 27 April 2008

Ever stopped to consider what makes a smartphone 'smart?' Steve has, as he's been looking over the LG KF750, a high end feature phone with an accelerometer, 5 mega pixel camera, DivX VGA playback, and a 12mm width body. But is it any good compared to a P1i or N95?

Read on in the full article.

That's you Steve, the "man on the street" as you so often say would love something like this. How about posting some photo samples from the KF750?

So how do the built in features that both phones share compare? Is the feature phone quicker, are the smartphone apps more robust?

Can you compare the cameras, music players, video playback, pim features, etc to help determine which device actually works better?

Thanks

I'd like to see a comparison of individual features too.

Putting the smartphone vs feature phone OS debate to one side, how does the built-in camera app on smartphone compare to that of a feature phone. Ditto for address book, calendar, music player etc...

I only have very limited exposure to feature phones these days, but my guess is they're probably a bit snappier for some things but have less features and more clunky UIs.
