BlackBerry Bold 9000

BlackBerry Bold 9700 review

By Philip Berne

T-Mobile and AT&T produce a BlackBerry that does everything BlackBerry phones do best. Is that enough? Find out in our BlackBerry Bold 9700 review.

Great battery life. Well organized inbox aggregates all incoming messages. UMA calling is very convenient

Interface still bland, poorly organized. Web browser lags behind competition. Lacks some necessary software, including turn-by-turn GPS navigation

Motorola Droid Review

Motorola Droid review

By Philip Berne

Verizon Wireless' first Android phone is here, with a big push from Google's new Android 2.0 OS. Check it out in our in-depth Motorola Droid review.

Excellent build quality. High-end features, especially the large display. Google Maps with Navigation is fantastic and free

Verizon Wireless didn't add much to Google's stock interface. Camera was disappointing. Most features were superlative, but nothing unique

has opted for touch sensitive buttons, a mistake, we think, since hardware buttons are always more responsive, but we had little trouble with Moto's row of touch keys

BlackBerry Storm 9530

BlackBerry Storm 2 review

By Philip Berne

Verizon Wireless and RIM release a polished update to the original touchscreen BlackBerry. Find out more in our BlackBerry Storm 2 review.

Faster, more responsive than original BlackBerry Storm. Fantastic display quality, great for movies. Well-organized messaging

Interface design is frustrating and cumbersome, even when SurePress works well. Browser still lagging. Some features could use a serious graphical boost

The system can deactivate the click sensation electronically and sometimes this happens when it shouldn't, leaving you stranded with nothing to press. In our testing period, we found plenty of inconsistencies in the interface design, and we never grew ...

HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)

HTC Tilt 2 review

By Philip Berne

AT&T gets a Touch Pro2 to call its own, as the best business smartphone around comes to Big Blue. Did Windows Mobile 6.5 make this phone even better? Find out in our HTC Tilt 2 review.

Excellent keyboard. Great calling features, especially for business users. Windows Mobile 6.5 adds Mobile Marketplace (app store) support

Device was buggy and unreliable in our tests. Some features buried, some menus redundant. No IM client or MyPhone service on board

phones we've reviewed, the HTC Tilt 2 could be buggy at times, causing random headaches (keyboard stops working, notifications don't stop buzzing, screens overlap as apps fail to close). The Marketplace is a welcome addition, but the new Start menu is ...

Samsung Intrepid review

Samsung Intrepid review

By Philip Berne

Sprint's newest Windows Mobile 6.5 phone takes on the BlackBerry phones with a touchscreen and Wi-Fi browsing. Check it out in our Samsung Intrepid review.

Great keyboard. Long lasting battery. Improved Web browsing over older versions of Internet Explorer mobile. Windows Mobile Marketplace still blossoming

Media player, scheduling apps untouched, need serious work. Buggy system had strange problems. New interface design hardly an improvement. Touchscreen seems unnecessary

That isn't to say that WinMo 6.5 isn't a good mobile OS. It works nicely, but it isn't as innovative or exciting as the new Android or WebOS devices we're seeing. The new Today screen offers a series of tabs, similar to the Microsoft Zune interface, ...

Motorola CLIQ review

Motorola CLIQ review

By Philip Berne

Motorola's new Android phone comes to T-Mobile with Facebook and Twitter leading the charge. Enough for real status addicts? Check out our Motorola CLIQ review.

Keep all your status updates for all your networks and feeds up top. Easy to update multiple networks at once. Great custom widgets for Android

Wobbly hardware design made touchscreen use frustrating. Phone was a bit buggy or unresponsive at times. Battery life poor. Multimedia experience sub-par on Android

Motorola hasn't added much to the basic calling and other app functions, most of the legwork has been done with an excellent set of desktop widgets. With enigmatic names like "Happenings" and "News," Motorola's MOTOBLUR interface uses a set of very ...

Sprint Hero review

Sprint Hero review

By Philip Berne

HTC's best Android device comes to Sprint, with its snazzy interface and great Twitter and Facebook integration. Is this the best smartphone around? Find out in our Sprint Hero review.

Fantastic interface design. Great Twitter and Facebook apps and widgets. Solid messaging features. Desktop-grade Web browsing

Multimedia playback, especially with pre-recorded videos, was difficult to manage. Camera was disappointing. Design could be more exciting

Once you turn on the Sprint Hero, you'll forget all about the boring exterior. The interface design is fantastic. It's clever and useful, with polished, colorful menus and icons, and an intuitive organization. HTC's Sense experience is a great ...

HTC Imagio Review

HTC Imagio review

By Philip Berne

Verizon Wireless launches a new flagship Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone, running their V Cast Mobile TV service. Read our full HTC Imagio review.

Large, responsive touchscreen. Great features, especially for calling and contact handling. Solid Web browsing

Disappointing camera. Media player could use an interface upgrade. VZ Navigator should be much better on this device

for that matter. It's a big touchscreen phone, but its size suits its feature set nicely

HTC Touch Pro 2

The HTC HD2 gives ultra-slim a new meaning, and boasts multi-touch gestures and the HTC Sense user interface first seen on the Android-based Hero. The phone also incorporates Wi-Fi router capabilities.

The HTC HD2 uses the first capacitive touch display on a Windows phone to make viewing, zooming and resizing websites, Microsoft Office files, PDF documents and pictures easier with just a pinch of your fingers. The large display also aims to enable ...
