With all the touch-screen MP3 players coming out now which ones give you the most bang for you buck? Surely the iTouch is the MP3 player to beat, but does the Samsung P3 hold its own? Well first of all, the Samsung feels a little more heavy duty than the iTouch. In addition to a thin, sturdy design, the P3 has a beautiful 3-inch, 480×272 WQVGA touch-screen. Not only does the Samsung display gorgeous, vivid colors, but the touch-screen controls are surprisingly easy to use. The P3 also sounds as good as it looks.  It offers a huge variety of multimedia support, FM radio, and voice recording. A cool new extra is the P3’s A2DP Bluetooth support. This allows you to listen to music through Bluetooth headphones and manage phone calls through the P3. The Samsung also comes bundled with a bunch of cool widgets, which Samsung promises to offer more of through updates.

Although the Samsung P3 may not make you want to get rid of your iTouch, but you may not need to shell out all of that cash in the first place. The best part of the P3 is that it is about $100 less than the iTouch. Though it’s cheaper, the P3 combines excellent sound quality, a gorgeous touch-screen display, 40 hour battery life, and all around solid performance. Though it lacks Wi-Fi, the P3 is a cheaper, high performing alternative to the iTouch.

They call it the Storm, but it is anything but disastrous.  The new Storm phone by Blackberry is the first touch screen Blackberry.  Verizon Wireless is the first network to carry this phone and is currently advertising buy one Blackberry get one free! I liked the sound of this so much that I went out and bought myself the new Storm and got one for my mother too!  I was skeptical at first since I had heard that this phone was “slow” but all I can see is clear skies ahead.  This new Blackberry allows you to perform all the normal Blackberry phone functions.  Its biggest perk though is the touch screen makes for an easier time using your phone and less of a hassle with small keys. 

The Storm is my first Blackberry phone and I have to admit that life is so much easier with it.  On my previous phone I could not check my email, go on the web, or Blackberry Message people. On the Storm I can do all of these things and a lot more.  The Storm has a very distinct feature that other touch screen phones do not have. When you touch a certain part of the screen it lights up blue showing where you are touching.  To actually choose something, you can press down on the screen and “click it” to perform an action on your phone.  This allows you to click what you actually want to click, and not just any random key.  Another amazing characteristic of this phone is that it can be used horizontally or vertically and automatically changes for you when you turn your phone.  This feature comes in hand because when I turn it horizontally, I get a full keyboard to type on, and when I turn it vertically, I can use a compact keyboard that has two letters per key.  At first I had trouble typing on this screen, but luckily the phone has a typing wizard that teaches you how to type on it and in a matter of hours I was having no problems using the touch screen.  The Storm allows you to enjoy having a phone without worrying about unreliability or a dim screen.

I would strongly recommend the Storm phone to anyone looking for a dependable Blackberry that is easy and fun to use.  I am able to transfer tons of documents, music, and pictures to my phone through my USB cord and Bluetooth.  This has been very helpful because I have not had the burden of lugging my laptop around as much because everything I need is on my Storm.  What a relief!  The Storm may have the name of catastrophe, but it has proven to be a ray of light in a plethora of disasterous phones.
