We’ve all been there, pouring over the various websites looking at glitzy marvels of glass, metal and plastic. But how do you decide which one is best? More importantly, how do you decide which is the best one for Warcraft?
There’s two main smartphone camps to consider: Apple’s iPhone on the one hand or an Android based device from a huge range of suppliers. Apple only make a handful of different iPhone models, making choosing one fairly straightforward. By contrast Android is heavily fragmented, which is a fancy way of saying there’s loads of different phones which are all slightly different.
There are a few non-contenders. Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7, the Palm/HP WebOS platform and RIM’s Blackberry all miss out on Blizzard’s Warcraft apps. As a result I’ve not included them here.
To make the comparison a bit simpler I’ve used a flagship device for each camp. For Apple I’m using the iPhone 4, while Android is represented by the brand new Samsung Galaxy S 2.
