As the manufacturers’ flagship handsets, the HTC Sensation and Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 are two very impressive smartphones. Whilst they are equally impressive, at the same time they are two very different devices. In this article I will give an overview of some of their key specifications, so you can decide which is the better phone.

HTC Sensation
The HTC Sensation is something of a powerhouse, featuring the latest advancements in dual-core processor technology, along with the latest version of the versatile and powerful Android operating system. the Sensation has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a flagship HTC smartphone; an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, one of the most advanced touchscreens of any smartphone on the market and of course super fast Wi-Fi internet browsing. The latest version of the HTC Sense UI is also installed, with previous versions proving to be a hit thanks to its high level of customisation. Android market is a major selling point of this device; over 100,000 apps are available for the user to download directly to the handset. The tech heavy spec list ...
... is certainly impressive, but who is the phone aimed at? It is particularly suited to multimedia enthusiasts thanks to its impressive integration with different media formats. This ranges from the many music and video file formats it supports, to the fact you can stream your photos and videos wirelessly to a compatible television. Thanks to the apps on offer and powerful multitasking capabilities provided by the processor, it is also an ideal phone for the business user. However, the latter may also be interested in the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 if they are seeking a dedicated productivity device.

Blackberry Bold Touch 9900
Blackberry smartphones have long been the handset of choice for the business user who is looking for a no-nonsense device to get the job done. The new Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 is ne exception, but it stands apart from its predecessors in the Bold range with a facelift which includes numerous performance enhancements and software upgrades. Until now, Blackberry handsets have been considered somewhat basic in comparison with the offerings from other manufacturers such as HTC and Apple. The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 though provides a number of welcome improvements such as the inclusion of a 2.8 inch touchscreen, much more powerful processor than its predecessors (1.2 GHz) as well as improved internet browsing speeds. Another area which has been given an overhaul is the operating system. previous Bold models has BB 6.0 OS, but this handset has the all new BB 7.0 OS, which has many new features aimed at making the device more efficient and user friendly. With the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900, Blackberry seems to have realised that business users also want many of the other features found in competing smartphones. The result is a Blackberry device which retains its functionality as a productivity device but also has the camera, multimedia and gaming features of its competitors.

So which is best?
This is a question which will largely be down to personal preference. However on paper, the HTC Sensation has the best spec list for the most part, but there will be users who will favour one over the other based upon the brand, preference for a physical keyboard over a touchscreen etc, and those who will find one better suited to their needs in terms of the features on offer.
