HTC Touch Pro 2

HTC Touch Pro2

By Nick Mokey

We loved the original HTC Touch Pro. Or wanted to, anyway. Though HTC wowed us with distinct styling, a snappy keyboard, and a downright luscious screen, we could never quite get past...

Gigantic, extra-sharp display ; outstanding call quality ; solid build quality ; decent accessory pack ; dressed-up interface

Exceptionally weak camera ; clumsy resistive touch screen ; no keyboard backlighting ; dry design

Nokia Surge 6790

Nokia Surge 6790

By Stewart Wolpin

At first glance, the Nokia Surge 6790, available from AT&T, vaguely resembles all other touchscreen phones with either slide-out or flip-down QWERTY keyboards. Just one problem,...

Bright, crisp 2.4-inch LCD ; slideout QWERTY keyboard ; excellent music and video players ; fast and easy to surf Web browser ; accelerometer

No touchscreen ; awkward direct dialing ; microUSB jack isn't for charging ; no 3.5mm jack ; no threaded messaging

By Stewart Wolpin

Despite the $50 price tag, the Curve 8520 performs right up to par with its premium relatives.

Small keypad difficult for direct dialing; EDGE instead of 3G connectivity; no preloaded BlackBerry App Store; can't change menu themes
