Grid comparison of current smartphone
solutions
(Choosing your perfect mobile device!)
|
The idea here is to score most current
PDA/smartphone solutions and see which one comes out on top. The scores for
each criteria are my own personal evaluations. You can apply your own
weightings, though, and the page will multiply everything up and work out
your most suitable smartphone solution. Models and scores: (10=excellent,
1=terrible). Weightings: 'Not'/'Quite'/'Very' multiplies scores by 0, 1 or 2
respectively.

additions and changes
Note that you must have Javascript enabled
in your browser for this to work! To use the Grid:
- Work your way down the 30 left hand side criteria,
rating each according to how important it is to you
- Read off your personalised scores from the bottom
row - which is best for you?

* How compatible is this
solution with the outside world? Is it effectively tied to a PC?
** How far
does the solution go towards helping you travel with less gadgets? (MP3
player/radio, camera, camcorder, etc)
*** i.e. how often does it crash? This
is somewhat subjective, I've had to rely on reports from owners.
10=super-stable, 1=buggy as hell
**** Includes consideration of battery life
per charge and whether the batteries are replaceable
***** I've included
cost as a factor, both for initial (new or second-hand) purchase reasons and
also for ease of repair or replacement in case of problems. Rating 10 means
£100 or less, 7 is £200 or less, 4 is £300 or less, 1 is
£400 or less, etc.
