BlackBerry Bold 9700

The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 boasts a sleeker design that includes an optical trackpad, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a brilliant display. The smartphone is 3G capable and offers Wi-Fi with UMA support, Bluetooth, and GPS. It also gets a faster ...

The BlackBerry browser doesn't compare to the competition. The handset's compact size results in a smaller display and keyboard, but they aren't deal-breakers

The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 brings T-Mobile its first 3G BlackBerry and improves on its predecessor with a sleeker design and more power. We only wish it had a better browser to complete the package.

Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 (T-Mobile)

The Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 has a bright display, multimedia features, and decent call quality

The Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717's external display and controls aren't easy to use. We continue to push Sony Ericsson to abandon proprietary ports and memory cards. Speakerphone quality is average

The Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 has potential, but its multimedia features are undermined by design missteps and a subpar speakerphone.

Samsung Caliber (U.S. Cellular)

The Samsung Caliber is slim and lightweight with an attractive display. It has plenty of features like a built-in accelerometer, a 3.0-megapixel camera, and a full HTML browser. It also has great call quality

The Samsung Caliber lacks a 3.5mm headset jack and Wi-Fi, and the touch screen takes some acclimation

The Samsung Caliber could use some refinements, but it is overall a decent touch-screen multimedia phone for U.S. Cellular.

Motorola Droid

The Motorola Droid boasts a gorgeous display and the benefits of Android 2.0, including a faster Web browser, Google Maps Navigation app, and better messaging and contact management. It also offers excellent call quality, long talk time, and improved ...

The QWERTY keyboard feels flat and the dialpad control is restricted to the home screen. Music and video capabilities still trail behind the competition. Dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities would have been a nice addition

Some minor design issues and multimedia quibbles aside, the Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly ...

Nokia 2705 Shade - black (Verizon Wireless)

The Nokia Shade 2705 has a simple design with functional features and good call quality

The Nokia Shade 2705's speakerphone is poor. Bluetooth files are limited, and the construction is rather flimsy

The Nokia Shade 2705 performs well, but its plastic design lends itself to occasional users.

Samsung Blue Earth

The Samsung Blue Earth has a stylish design and a functional midrange feature set. Green fans will appreciate the solar panels that charge the phone

The Samsung Blue Earth's small display feels rather crowded. It lacks a full keyboard and call quality isn't top-notch

With its eco-friendly design and spiffy solar panels, the Samsung Blue Earth is more than just a gimmick; it's also an appealing cell phone with character.

Samsung Moment (Sprint)

The Samsung Moment has a bright display with a spacious keyboard. Productivity features are plentiful and call quality is clear

The Samsung Moment's touch interface and controls were a little sluggish. The camera lacks editing features, call volume could be louder, and speakerphone quality was just average

With its full keyboard and bright display, the Samsung Moment successfully rounds out Sprint's Android offerings.
