You know the drill. A new cell phone gets introduced to the market and it is claimed to be “the most innovative and technologically advanced cell phone available today.” And with the race to smartphone supremacy, all manufacturers are putting their best product forward. So here we are with the upcoming release of two new, hot phones.

BlackBerry Bold Release Date Postponned
It’s been rumored that Research in Motion (RIM) is delaying the release of its iPhone contender phone, the BlackBerry Bold, to mid-August. Initially, the Bold was going to be released in July by AT&T, but there’s been talk that the BlackBerry Bold is having potential complications with battery life, software issues and overheating problems.

RIM has yet to confirm any of these statements, but analysts are predicting that it could noticably set-back second quarter earning for the company.
LG Dare Brings the HeatThe LG Dare hits Verizon Wireless stores today and its touchscreen abilities have made this a highly anticipated phone. It is quite noticeable that LG and Verizon took some time to think out the design and software for this feature-phone. Here’s a quick pro/con list that will give you an overview of the LG Dare, so you can make your own opinion on whether this phone is up to the task of giving other smartphone’s a run for their money ….
PRO CON
- Feedback while typing - Two phone menus
- Handwriting recognition - Trouble with QWERTY keyboard
- Video recording/editing - HTML; but not very good
- 3.2 megapixel camera - Standard external design
Race to Smartphone Supremacy
I think this is an ongoing battle between all manufacturers and service providers. While I think LG did a good job in creating the LG Dare, I believe it will be no competition for the Apple iPhone or the BlackBerry Bold. The ultimate race will continue with BlackBerry and Apple and for the time being, Apple has pulled out ahead.
