The Apple iPhone, among other PDA phones, is the most amazing phone today. Probably because it has great Internet capabilities, cool applications and of course, gorgeous 320 x 480 backlit screen. While those are enough reasons to buy an Apple iPhone, people flock to the iPhone because they can actually customize its applications. Here are the top two iPhone utilities that every iPhone user must have.

Marq application. This application allows you to get your message across to anyone you want to, in a very unique way. Marq is short for marquee, so if you know marquee tag, you probably have a picture of how your message is displayed on your iPhone.

Your message will be displayed in a powerful marquee-style method, which scrolls across your iPhone screen. Marq application is a fun addition to your iPhone. You can show your friends how creative you can be, by customizing the speed and color of the text. Using marq application is definitely a cool way to have your thoughts heard.

iRibbit application. This iPhone application serves more practical purpose than the marq app. It is like having eBay on your cell phone. This cool application allows you to not only view items that are up for bid, but they let you actually bid on items as well. If you are an eBayer, or simply an eBay fan who frequently checks out the eBay to see cool items, then you must have the iRibbit application on your iPhone.

This application actually won first place in the eBay International Widget Contest, so you do not have to worry about your bid’s security when you place it on iRibbit. You can bid in confidence that you are getting the upmost in security, stability and simplicity. If you own an iPhone and you use eBay for a living, iRibbit is definitely a must have.

Another good thing about using iRibbit on your iPhone is that you can create and manage a watch list, just like the way you do it on your computer.

There are a lot of applications available for your iPhone. It can be an application simply for entertainment or an application for a more serious purpose, like running an eBay store. Just make sure to download an application that really suits you best. These applications will give you the ability to enjoy your iPhone at its best.

Both the iPhone and the Tilt are AT&T smartphones (at least in the United States), however, the overall main difference between the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt, according, at least, to the way the two devices are being marketed, is that the iPhone is being targeted more towards the consumer-user and the AT&T Tilt towards the business-user. Both smartphones, however, have excellent qualities appealing to both types of users.

Both the AT&T Tilt and the iPhone are touch screen smartphones, though the iPhone touch screen can be controlled by your fingers whereas controlling the AT&T Tilt touch screen requires using the included stylus. Beyond the touch screen, the iPhone has a single multi-purpose navigator button while the AT&T Tilt has several additional buttons.

Unlike the iPhone, the AT&T Tilt sports a unique screen design that allows users to slide out a full QWERTY keyboard from behind the main casing and tilt the display upwards so the user can view and control the phone similarly to the way one would a laptop or PC. The iPhone is a single candy bar unit with no sliding parts, though both the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt can be turned sideways for a widescreen view of the display screen as an alternative to the standard portrait.

The weaknesses of the feature-rich iPhone are in the way of the basic, essential functions of a smartphone - call quality and speed of the data network. Even though the AT&T Tilt uses the same EDGE data network as the iPhone, the Tilt has a wider array of wireless options available, including access to the 3G network, a feature the current generation of iPhone’s cannot claim (though a 3G iPhone is reportedly in the works). Also, according to a perusal of online customer feedback, the Tilt also boasts superior call quality over the iPhone. Having said that, however, the iPhone has up to 480 minutes of talk-time whereas the max talk time on the AT&T Tilt is only about half that.

In the way of features, the digital camera on the AT&T Tilt is 3.0 megapixels while the iPhone’s is only 2.0 megapixels. The Tilt includes a GPS but the iPhone does not. The call history on the Tilt is more substantial, indicating talk time duration and other details not available in the iPhone’s call history. Likewise, the Tilt displays a distinction between calls received and calls made whereas the iPhone does not. The processor on the AT&T Tilt is significantly slower than that of the iPhone, with a much higher tendency to freeze up and necessitate a reboot. The iPhone has a much larger built-in storage capacity (at 4-8 GB) while the AT&T Tilt can only hold 128 MB.

The major sweeping difference between the two devices is that the iPhone runs on Apple’s Mac OS X while the AT&T Tilt runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, which is tantamount to the difference between any Mac PC or laptop and the equivalent Windows PC or laptop. So the AT&T Tilt offers users, for example, the full Windows Office Mobile suite of programs (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) while iPhone users benefit from all the innovative software resulting from the newly issued iPhone SDK (software development kit). The bottom line here is that, since most computer-users classify themselves as either Mac-people or Windows-people, the decision as to which device is “better” really boils down to one’s personal preference between Mac and Windows.

The AT&T Tilt sells for at least $100 less than the iPhone.

Faraz Khan asked:

The iPhone 3G is an extension of the earlier iPhone model. When released, iPhone had a lot of problems, they fixed some of those problems in the 3G model but they still have a long way to go before they can declare the iPhone perfect. Here I will be comparing Apple’s iPhone 3G to LG Cell Phones KU990 Viewty, and will explain in detail why the Viewty is a much better option.

Design:

Both the phones have unique design and stand out from the other phones in terms of look and feel. The dimensions of the Viewty are 103.5 x 54.4 x 14.8 mm, and weighs about 112 grams. On the front of the phone we have an impressive 3 inch touch screen display having a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. Below the touch screen we have 3 normal keys, the green call key, the red end key and the clear key. The clear key can be used as a backspace key in text editing or to go up one level in menu. Above the display there is a secondary VGA camera.

The iPhone 3G on the other hand has dimensions of 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm and weighs about 133 grams. The iPhone 3G also has a touch screen display of about 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. Below the screen it has only 1 key which is used to return back to the menu.

Connectivity:

LG Cell Phones have done a wonderful job with this phone and have added 3G capability to it. This means faster uploads and downloads. The phone is Tri-band, this means that it can be used anywhere in the world without the fear of compatibility issues. iPhone 3G, as the name indicates also has 3G capability. The iPhone can also be used anywhere in the world since it is a quad band phone but sadly it is locked to selected providers. The phone will have to be unlocked before it can be used with any operator.

If you are looking for a Wi-Fi or a WLAN phone then sadly the Viewty is not for you as it does not have any WLAN connectivity. The iPhone on the other hand can connect to wireless networks with it’s built in Wi-Fi.

In terms of Bluetooth the LG KU990 is way better than the iPhone. Although iPhone 3G has the option of Bluetooth, it can only be used for synchronization purposes. iPhone cannot transfer files via Bluetooth and since it does not have A2DP, stereo Bluetooth headsets cannot be used with the phone. The KU990 on the other hand can use all the features of Bluetooth without any problem. The phone can also be connected to a stereo Bluetooth headset.

Memory:

The LG KU990 comes with an internal memory of 100 MB. This memory can be expanded up to 2 GB via a microSD card slot, i.e. the Viewty’s memory is expandable. The LG Cell Phone comes with a USB cable and thus the phone can also be used as a storage device.

The iPhone on the other hand comes with an internal memory of 8 or 16 GB. It has no card slot therefore the memory cannot be expanded. Unlike the Viewty the iPhone cannot be used as a storage device.

Camera:

In terms of camera the LG Cell Phone is way better than the iPhone. The iPhone’s camera is only 2 mega pixel, having a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. There is no flash, no auto focus and no image stabilizer. It is a simple 2 mega pixel camera. The camera also has no option for video recording and a third party application must be used for recording videos. The recorded videos are not worth watching as they have been taken using a 2 mega pixel camera.

The LG KU990 on the other hand has a 5 mega pixel camera, with a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels and unlike the iPhone it has all the advance options such as auto focus, image stabilization and various shooting modes such as landscape, beach, party, portrait, night, sport, high sensitive, continuous shot, panorama and frames. The camera also comes with a strobe flash. A strobe flash lies somewhere between an LED flash and a XENON flash. The KU990 can record videos without any third party application and can record in VGA resolution at 30 frames per second and in QVGA resolution at 120 frames per second. For those of you who did not understand the previous sentence, the video camera f the Viewty is awesome.

Conclusion:

Aside from the differences mentioned above both of the phones are almost the same, both have huge touch screen displays, they both have accelerometers to figure out if the phone I being held vertically or horizontally. Another point worth mentioning is that the iPhone cannot send multimedia messages or MMS. Some third part application has to be used for this purpose.

So the comparison clearly puts LG KU990 in the lead but die-hard apple fans will still prefer to buy the iPhone. The iPhone’s software is buggy and it freezes often. Its Safari web browser does not have java or flash capability. LG KU990 does not suffer from any of these problems. And above all the 5 Mega Pixel camera of the Viewty clearly makes it an iPhone Killer.
