The Samsung Behold II boasts a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The smartphone includes more-robust multimedia capabilities, and its 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support are all included

The phone is expensive, especially compared with the competition. The TouchWiz interface isn't all that useful. Runs Android 1.5

Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turn off.

The Samsung Mythic is slim and lightweight phone, and you can customize its home screens and menu pages. Its multimedia feature set includes AT&T Mobile TV, and it has good performance

The Samsung Mythic's streaming video needs improvement and its Web browser has only two zoom settings

The Samsung Mythic is an admirable multimedia phone with the added bonus of AT&T Mobile TV.

The Palm Pixi features a remarkably thin design and an improved QWERTY keyboard. An updated OS brings Yahoo integration as well as enhanced messaging features. It also offers Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support

Lacks Wi-Fi. The smartphone can be sluggish and battery can drain quickly. The camera's picture quality is subpar and still lacks video recording and editing options

While not as powerful as the Pre, the Palm Pixi offers first-time smartphone buyers a decent set of features in a sleek little package. However, to be really competitive, we think it needs to come down in price just a touch.

The Samsung Flight has a sturdy, easy-to-use design and a functional feature set

The Samsung Flight is sluggish at times. Call quality wasn't perfect, and streaming video was inconsistent

The Samsung Flight offers a unique, likable design and a fair number of features, but some performance gaps keep it from playing in the big leagues.

The Nokia 3711 offers a bright display, decent call quality, and admirable photo quality. Its feature set includes Bluetooth and GPS

The Nokia 3711's external display isn't useful. The handset's construction feels rather fragile

The Nokia 3711 puts style over usability, but it offers functional features and decent performance.

The Cricket Captr is small and compact. It's easy to use and has decent call quality

The Cricket Captr has a lackluster screen, poor photo quality, and the speakerphone could be improved

If you're a Cricket customer who just wants a really basic phone for calls, the Captr is a decent choice if you don't mind the bad photo quality.

The LG Chocolate Touch has a great music player, a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, EV-DO, a 3.5mm headset jack, and a responsive touch screen

The LG Chocolate Touch has a disappointing browser, and the overall look and feel of the phone is nothing we haven't seen before

Despite our issues with the browser and the uninteresting design, the LG Chocolate Touch is a terrific music phone for Verizon Wireless.

The HTC Droid Eris offers a slim design, plentiful features, and satisfying performance. It also has pinch and zoom multitouch

The HTC Droid Eris has mixed multimedia quality. It comes only with the Android 1.5 OS, there's no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish

Though performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price.

The Twitter Peek is slim, lightweight, and has a handy jog dial on the side for scrolling. You can do almost everything on this that you can do on the Twitter Web site. We also like the feel of the QWERTY keyboard

The Twitter Peek does not display full 140-character messages on the home screen, links in tweets lead to badly rendered text-only Web pages, you can only view images from TwitPic and no other Twitter photo service, you can't have multiple Twitter ...

The Twitter Peek does not deliver a positive Twitter experience, which is especially disappointing because that is its only purpose.
