These days, smartphones are divided into two classifications, namely touchscreen phones and QWERTY keyboard-based phones. QWERTY phone are basically those that have a full QWERTY keyboard in the main panels as well under a sliding panel. Unlike the QWERTY phones, touch screen phones do not have a manual keyboard and it operates by pressing through the active points in the screen. Some touch screen phone models actually have navigation function keys available. Apple's iPhone is one example of a touch screen phone while RIM's Blackberry is an example of a QWERTY smartphone. Although Blackberry is not the first and sole player in the QWERTY smartphone market, it is widely considered as the most popular of the many models.

Touch screen phones may actually be elegant in design but they can be challenging to use especially when you have to enter large chunks of data, write strings of SMS message, or get into instant messaging. Despite of the touch screen phone's stylish look, it will unlikely that it will be used as a serious business gadget. It is just difficult for any person to write e-mails, edit Excel spreadsheets or Word documents, and sort out the PowerPoint presentations without the use of control buttons.

You can find QWERTY mobile phones that run Windows Mobile OS in the market such as HTC, Palm, and Pantech. Those who are using Windows for PC will find the features of the Mobile OS familiar in regards to interface and operation. In addition, Windows-based phones are actually designed for editing Office documents, better e-mail use, management of tasks and calendar, and convenient browsing of the web. A lot of people say that phones like these are not likely to crash. When it comes to entertainment, basic smartphones normally include features such as enhanced digital camera, video player, and MP3 player. Generally, touch screen and QWERTY smartphones both include these features except for a few older models.

There are advantages when you use touch screen mobile phones. The advantages for using these smartphones include memory and battery longevity. There are some touch screen smartphones that you can buy that includes 8 GB or 16 GB memory depending on the specifications. Majority of QWERTY cell phones have lesser memory than that and even less ability to expand its external memory via MicroSD card slots.

Buyers will also have a hard time looking for the right MicroSD card in just about any electronic store. In terms of battery life, smartphones that are touch screen-based normally last 6 hours of Wi-Fi browsing and 5 hours talk time. You can even just leave it for 300 hours in standy mode, while QWERTY phones do not really last that long.
