Conclusion After Compare With Other Smartphone, we have chose HTC Google Nexus One, the reasons below: CPU Speed Nexus One is reached the current highest standard (1GHz), so that it can operate its functions more faster and smoothly switch between different applications in high speed. Display Screen Nexus One not using the traditional Screen (TFT) but using the AMOLED, the AMOLED screen present more vivid and bright in colour, plus less battery power consumption. Memory Capacity Nexus One contain the highest capacity in RAM and ROM than other mobile phone (both are 512MB). It can help to increase the performance for running applications or loading web page. 16

Conclusion (cont’d) Battery life Nexus One have a respectable 10 hours of talk time and 290 hours of standby on 2G. 7 hours and 250 hours respectively on 3G. Weight Regarding the weight of Nexus One, it is almost lighter than other smart phone (only Samsung Omnia II i8000H is lighter than Nexus One), it will decrease the fatigue after long time talking. Navigation Nexus One use touch-sensitive navigation key like Motorola Milestone, also adding a trackball for additional option, user can have a better experiences. Virtual Keyboard Although Nexus One doesn’t have physical keyboard like QWERTY keyboard, but its onscreen keyboard remains very good because it is benefit from the well design by HTC. 17

Conclusion (cont’d) Applications Although Apple App Store have more than 35,000 applications, but Android Market is open for public and free to use. It is benefit for developers and manufacturers to develop what they wants and there are some 3rd party application stores (AndAppStore - England; Mobentoo - US; S 市集 - Taiwan; eoeMarket - China). Operating System Android OS have advantages in mobile phone market, because Android OS can embed into different phone, not like iPhone OS just operate in iPhone and compare with Windows Mobile, it is more stable and flexible. Finally, it is free. Competitive Price Compare with other smartphone’ specifications, Nexus One have a reasonable price ($4,710 - online purchase), most of smartphone at the same level are nearly HKD $5,
