Welcome to a new era of smartphones.

The excitement surrounding the release from the iPhone 5 was quickly eclipsed by the sad passing of Steve Jobs and also the unveiling of the iPhone 4S, but Apple competitors are still trudging forward within their attempt to dethrone the iPhone as the absolute ruler in the land of smartphones.

With Steve Jobs attended the Big Apple in the sky, iPhone engineers are lovingly working on what promises to be an astounding version that would have dazzled Steve Jobs himself. Meanwhile, Nokia is getting ready to dazzle Bill Gates with a new lineup of Windows smartphones.

Smartphone lovers do not have to wait for the iPhone 5 or the new Nokia Windows phones to materialize. The newest smart phones on the market offer a glimpse at a promising future.

The Apple iPhone 4S

Apple is constantly on the hold smartphone supremacy using the new and powerful iPhone 4S, a tool that is as powerful as the iPad 2. The same as its tablet cousin, the iPhone 4S features a dual-core Apple A5 1GHz processor. That’s seven times faster than the iPhone 4. Battery life has been expanded as well: 8 hours talk-time, and 6 hours of 3G data browsing. Connectivity-wise, the 4S lacks real 4G support, but its GSM and CDMA capabilities turn it into a true world phone. Within the looks department, the 4S is virtually identical to the iPhone 4, but once you talk to Siri -the newfangled Apple virtual assistant- you’ll be in love with the 4S. Siri is the smartest application for smartphones, and it is bound to get smarter.

Samsung Samsung galaxy s II

The Samsung galaxy s II is not only the reigning king from the Android devices, it\\\'s also a serious competitor towards the iPhone. The Galaxy may be thin and lightweight, however it features a lot of touchscreen real estate: more than 5 inches tall and 2.7 inches wide. The touchscreen is extremely responsive, but it isn’t the only real mode of input. The Galaxy comes bundled with Vlingo, a voice-control app which allows complete control within the smartphone. A quad-band feature and 4G access give the Galaxy international flair. Other connectivity goodies include Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, NFC, and possibly Google Wallet in the near future. Since the Galaxy runs on Android Gingerbread, all Google services can be found.

HTC Rhyme

The focus of the HTC Rhyme is style. With its purple color and charming soft-touch finish, the Rhyme is the sexiest of the smartphones. While the purple finish is mainly geared towards women, the Rhyme is also available in a champagne color in some parts of the world. It comes with a unique cell phone charm: a small cube that lights up with incoming calls which can be clipped to clothing or a purse. The Rhyme bucks the current trend of extra-large touchscreens having a compact design. It’s an Android Gingerbread device, and that means access to all of the Google goodies.
