iPhone 3G S Beats Palm Pre in New Smartphone Ratings

Consumer Reports reveals that the new iPhone 3G S has topped its new smartphone ratings, citing strong performance in everything but voice quality. The device has also scored points for its superior display, top-notch multimedia, navigation, Web browsing, and battery life, the report says.

“The iPhone 3G S tops our new smart-phone Ratings [...] with strong performance in everything but voice quality, an area in which few phones score well. It's not a runaway winner, though,” Consumer Reports claims. “A number of other phones ranked close to the iPhone, including the Palm Pre, which turned in a fine performance, as we expected from our head-to-head review of these two highly publicized rivals,” the company shares about the Consumer Reports blog.
