With the exception of the iPhone, most OS may have optimizations and customizations specific to the device, carrier, and/or the manufacturer. Examples: Samsung Symbian vs Nokia Symbian, HTC WinMo vs HP WinMo, Nokia non-branded vs AT&T branded (loaded with different apps), etc.We compare computers using their parts because almost all of them are running Windows. Most phones aren't running the same OS, so it's difficult to do.

Buzzard44 wrote:The XP phone hasn't actually made it into production yet. A poke around the interwebs shows a great deal of publicity around last September, only to fade into the background. Potentially vaporware, but it does look extremely beast from a cellphone hardware standpoint, assuming it becomes a reality.

lolwut? This actually exists? Don't people know that ARM is the undisputed king of mobile?

Unless you needs include cooking your eggs on it in the morning, and surfing the net on your W7 phone for 23 minutes, I don't see how anyone's needs are met. I want to see one in real life just so I can laugh at it.

From memory, Apple is the only one proud of their hardware proudly proclaiming it's powervr chip. And why wouldn't they. Any user will tell you it's 3d performance and ability to play games and other such things is great. Well, you won't get that experience on any of the android handsets i've used, because they don't have such great graphics. This is also going to be a responsible part to snappiness and overall functionality of the home screens and browsers.

SlyFerret wrote:I'm not sure there have been enough Sense UI handsets out to draw that conclusion quite yet.
With the exception of the DROID and N1, as far as I know, all other Android handsets are running 1.5 or 1.6 still, regardless of Sense UI.
I'm still waiting on the 2.1 update for my Samsung Moment. It's currently running 1.5, with no Sense UI (since it's not an HTC device).
If you haven't seen it yet, this site is a good one for android handset info:

Heiwashin wrote:Have you looked at the 3d benchmarks. Iphone3gs has stomped any android phone in any tests i've seen. Your speculation that this is entirely because coders don't want to put out the effort isn't wrong in relation to apss but it doesn't disprove the fact that iphone, is in fact, more capable on many levels despite having a slower processor in some cases. So to reiterate, graphics hardware is just as important as processor and should be taken into consideration when reviewing the potential power of a phone.

Skrying wrote:Anyway, why in the world are you wanting the Samsung Behold? It's so inferior hardware wise on a highly unoptimized platform that I wouldn't want to be stuck with that device for any length of time. Honestly, its the Nexus One or bust right now with Android for me. The Droid/Milestone is a good option sadly hurt by a very poor keyboard.

I own a Samsung Moment, which runs 1.5. I'm looking forward to the Android 2.1 firmware for my device that is supposed to materialize in the next couple months.
