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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Attractive, sturdy design, Comfortable keyboard, Bright, sharp display, Excellent call quality, Good 3.2-MP camera

No integrated Wi-Fi, Mediocre video recording

We typed a 45-word block of text on both the Bold and the Tour to get an idea of how fast we could type on each device. On the Bold, we completed this test in 55 seconds with 3 errors; on the Tour we typed the same snippet in 1:04 seconds with 6 errors

Some dropped calls, Can't multitask with third-party apps, No camera flash

Strong call quality, 3.5mm headphone jack, Solid battery life, 32GB of storage

Super expensive, Buggy widget system, Crash-prone, Awkward keyboard layout

While the widgets look cool, their performance was mediocre at best. Our test unit was marred by crashes that required reboots to refresh the content. Fragments of the home screen remained, for example, occasionally when we launched widgets into their ...

Excellent search tool, Easy cut-and-paste functionality, Stereo Bluetooth works well, Landscape keyboard works across multiple apps

Still no multitasking, MMS not yet supported, Data reception remains inconsistent

You press and hold to select copy in Safari and double tap in other programs, because Safari recognizes double taps as a zooming gesture. You can press and hold in other apps to initiate text selection, but double tapping is faster. Our only complaint ...

Strong call quality, Sharp industrial design, Comfortable keyboard, Good battery life, Upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.5

No 3.5mm headphone jack, Keyboard keys could use more space

The Jack runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, and Microsoft tells us that Samsung will offer an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 when it's available later this year. Samsung added a touch of its own to the Jack's OS with its Samsung ...

Excellent E-Ink keyboard, Solid dual-hinge design, Excellent call quality, Affordably priced

Awkwardly placed D-pad, Somewhat bulky, No 3.5 mm headphone jack

In messaging mode, the phone defaults to a number pad rather than the full QWERTY keyboard. Although it's easy to toggle, we think it should switch automatically to the latter, because it should assume that we're typing a text in this mode, and not ...

Improved keyboard, Threaded text messaging, GPS navigation, Good call quality

No 3G data, Doesn't support Sprint Music Store or Sprint TV, No video recording option, Expensive for its features

As is expected from a messaging device, the Rumor2 has a bunch of messaging features, including Email (AOL, AIM Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, PCS Mail, Yahoo Mail, or your own IMAP/POP account), and IM accounts (AIM, Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo ...
