Choice – Verizon’s HTC Imagio or Blackberry Storm 2?
Posted by Z on October 4th, 2009 - Tags: blackberry, imagio, storm2
I am due for a new phone and had my sights set on the Blackberry Storm 2… although as I was surfing this morning I found that Verizon will be offering the HTC Imagio (w/ WM 6.5). The Imagio is looking like a better option… but I can test in store on Oct 20 and plan to do so… I welcome your thoughts here… Quick compare:
* Phone capability – assume equal
CDMA 1xRTT/EVDO Rev. A, Quad-band GSM/EDGE, Single-band UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz only)
* world phone – draw
* resolution – Imagio (800×480 vs. 360×480)
* size – draw (+/- mm)
* bluetooth – draw
* std charger – draw (USB-type)
* GPS – draw
* music player w/ 3.5mm jack – draw
* touch device – draw (the Imagio looks FAST in terms of “touch to action” time)
* microSD slot – draw
* wifi b/g – draw
* camera – Imagio (5MP vs. 3.2 MP)
* video capture – ?? both have it, not sure of capture resolution
