HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 Touch

HTC Sense provides great selection of widgets, Highly accurate touchscreen with haptic feedback, Very good Web browser, Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV included

No camera flash, Lackluster camcorder

The Hero doesn't offer a physical QWERTY keyboard, so you'll be relying entirely on the touch screen. At first, we had to be very deliberate with each key press, but over time we learned to type accurately and quickly. We appreciated the haptic ...

BlackBerry Curve 8520

Sleek, lightweight design, Trackpad works well, Dedicated media keys, Supports calls over Wi-Fi, Very good attachment support

gt ; No 3G data, Low resolution display, Operating System: BlackBerry OS 4.6, CPU: 512-MHz Freescale Argon, Bands: GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, Data: EDGE, Memory: 256MB flash, Expansion: microSD up to 16GB, Display: 2.4 inches 320 x 240 pixels ...

Up front is a 2.5-inch display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Pricier BlackBerrys have higher-res screens (480 x 360). This difference is especially noticeable when browsing the Web (see below), but the LCD on the 8520 is fine for e-mail, ...

HTC Magic / T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Compact design, Responsive touchscreen, Fast Web browsing, Large and growing app market, Plenty of customization options

No 3.5mm headphone jack, Cramped portrait-mode keyboard, Occasionally sluggish interface

In landscape mode, the keyboard was much roomier and easier to type on. After a few days of use, we were able to type with a high level of accuracy. While the myTouch 3G's auto-correction is good, it sometimes auto-corrected words that we didn't ...

HTC Touch Pro 2

Strong call quality, Excellent keyboard, High-resolution display, Straight Talk makes staying in touch easy, Good speakerphone

No 3.5mm headphone jack, Bulky design, Expensive

HTC added a few enhancements that are more subtle, but no less useful. For one, when you create a new contact, instead of just using a picture in your phone's library, you can log into Facebook and use a friend's profile picture as his or her address ...
