Cheapest Apple iPhone

The iPhone has gotten everybody under its spell. With its attractive look and huge number of applications available online for immediate download, and some are even FREE, the cellphone manufactured by Apple is much more than just a phone. It is also a personal computer, a digital and video camera (and a fairly good one I might add), an organizer, iPod and many more. Basically the whole life of the user can revolve around this small but highly advanced machine. If you don't have one already you surely want one and you are searching for the best deal available out there.

The first thing you should know, if you want to make sure you get the best deal, is that the phone makes sense if you have a mobile service plan which includes high quality access to the Internet. The iPhone is designed for easy browsing and emailing so it would be a shame if you wouldn't be able to use it at its full capacity.

There are many providers out there and it is hard to identify the best deal especially as it depends on you specific needs. One of the providers, is Tesco in the UK, and it has an exceptional offer that stands out because the term of the contract is of only 12 months. It is the shortest term contract you can get on the market and you get very good coverage and quality. You can also unlock or sell your mobile earlier if you decide to do so. The secret is to get out of the contract as soon as you can because a shorter contract usually means a cheaper phone. You can notice that, simply by looking at the fee structure in the contracts of other types of phones. Keep in mind that Tesco is not the only provider.

The best Apple phone right now is the model 3G with a storage capacity of 8 GB which you can get for about 99$ and it is tied to a two year contract. If you want the fastest phone available right now the 3Gs at a good price you can wait until the summer when the iPhone 4G will probably be launched. The price of the older models will drop. The best buy for a 3Gs of 16 Gb is now about 199$.

The key to getting the best deal on the Apple iPhone is comparing all the offers available on the market and even consider buying a refurbished one.

Two Stylish New Handsets - The iPhone 4S And The HTC Rhyme

There is no question that the iPhone 4S from Apple and the new HTC Rhyme are two of the most attractive smartphones currently available. Their slim design together with various colour options will make these two devices a certain hit with consumers everywhere. Here we take a look at how these two stylish handsets compare in terms of specification.

The key difference between these two models is the operating systems that they both employ. The iPhone 4S employs the superb new iOS5 platform developed by Apple. This OS presents us with a familiar interface that we know from previous iPhones but with many improvements. A new notifications centre is a simple way to keep us updated with information from a variety of applications and programs whilst the new lock screen enables user to launch directly in to camera mode. Obviously these are just two updates but it does show that the developers at Apple have carefully considered what the public want from their devices. The HTC Rhyme runs on the Android platform and boasts version 2.3.4 of the system. Items such as a notifications centre are already present on Android but the platform does offer the excellent Sense user interface which includes some great user friendly features such as Friend Stream. This excellent feature collaborates your social networking accounts together in one place to make viewing and posting updates fast and simple. Another advantage of Android is that it enable Flash files to be played which means browsing the web on your phone is a much more satisfying experience. Whilst iOS5 remains simple to use Android is undoubtedly the most visually appealing of the two operating systems and for every consumer who loves the Apple platform another will be equally as attracted to Android.

In the power department the iPhone 4S definitely holds the upper hand. This is the first iPhone to incorporate a dual core processor which is part of the same chipset that was used in the excellent iPad 2. This chipset features the 1Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor as well as a very powerful PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics processing unit. This set up brings the iPhone 4S in line with the fastest handsets currently available. The HTC Rhyme offers a more modest processor in the form of a single core 1Ghz Scorpion processor together with an Adreno 205 GPU. Although the iPhone 4S eclipses its rival in this area it is worth remembering that the Apple device is a premium smartphone where as the Rhyme is a mid range device aimed at people looking for a more wallet friendly price. Extensive camera features are offered on both of these models with the iPhone offering a higher photo resolution of 8 million pixels compared to the 5 million available on the HTC Rhyme. High Definition video capture is available on both of these models with the HTC offering 720P and the Apple capturing footage at the highest possible resolution of 1080P.

Although the iPhone 4S outshines the HTC Rhyme in most departments both models will appeal to different types of consumer. The Apple will attract consumer looking for top specification regardless of cost whilst the HTC will be at a more attractive price point thanks to the sacrifice of some quality.
