Here's another service written around the handset madness following Apple's foray into this field which had hitherto been Nokia's backyard. Well, one can understand it. Such is the state of affairs in handset market and you would know it as most of us are stalling our plans to get rid of our old ones while grabbing on every opportunity to justify drooling over iPhone.
By show of hands, who here is not planning to buy iPhone (planning!). No hands??
http://www.tryphone.com/ has come up with a unique way of testing your favorite mobile handsets without having to pay for anything and more importantly without leaving your computer. I wouldn't really make or break my opinion based on the simulated experience, but it was fun checking iPhone's simulation on this site.
But like I said, there is not much to play with as most of the features that Steve Jobs raved about in his presentation towards the beginning of this year, can only be felt when you have the device in your hands. Actually its user experience, its feel, that they have been able to dispense with stylus and such features constitute heavily the USPs of iPhone. Currently iPhone is being sold exclusively by AT&T and Apple, otherwise I would have suggested you to go straight to Amazon for company write ups etc. on the device that are usually very well rounded for you with costumer reviews.
But good old GsmArena has always been there to give an old fashion but exhaustive coverage on the device, with toppings of their cool 360° spin view. I'm not a big fan of their voting thingy, but that some of us are always kind enough to leave a few words of wisdom for others of us, land some weight to their overall customer review process.
