RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile)
RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile) Reviewed on 11/04/2009

The Bottom Line: 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.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, 360 min, With digital camera / digital player, 4.3 oz

RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 (Verizon Wireless)
RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 (Verizon Wireless) Reviewed on 10/14/2009

The Bottom Line: The RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 brings some welcome additions, such as Wi-Fi, updated software, and a better touch interface, but it's going to face some serious competition from Verizon's upcoming touch-screen smartphones.

Specs: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) / CDMA 800/1900 (Dual Band) / HSDPA 2100, Up to 300 min (GSM), Up to 330 min (CDMA), Up to 360 min (UMTS)), With digital camera / digital player, 0.4 lbs

HP iPaq Glisten (AT&T)
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.3 (3.0 stars)
HP iPaq Glisten (AT&T) Reviewed on 12/15/2009

The Bottom Line: Offering the bare minimum, the HP iPaq Glisten fails to impress us. It can serve the role of a basic messaging smartphone, but there are better alternatives out there.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, 300 min, With digital camera / digital player, 5.3 oz

Samsung Omnia II (Verizon Wireless) Reviewed on 12/02/2009

The Bottom Line: While not the most powerful smartphone on the market, the Samsung Omnia II features an improved user interface and a richer multimedia experience to make it a worthy upgrade over its predecessor and one of the best Windows Mobile devices on the market.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 600 min, With digital camera / digital player / FM radio, 0.3 lbs

Motorola Droid (Verizon Wireless) Reviewed on 10/28/2009

The Bottom Line: Despite some design issues and a couple of missing features, 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 rivals the other touch-screen devices on the market.

Specs: CDMA2000 1X 1900/800, 385 min, With digital camera / digital player, 6 oz

      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 33 reviews
HTC Tilt2 (AT&T) Reviewed on 10/20/2009

The Bottom Line: Delivering an improved design and updated operating system, the HTC Tilt2 is a worthy upgrade and offers AT&T's business customers a powerful smartphone.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, 450 min, With digital camera / digital player, 6.3 oz

Motorola Cliq - titanium (T-Mobile)
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 76 reviews
Motorola Cliq - titanium (T-Mobile) Reviewed on 10/14/2009

The Bottom Line: With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. We had some performance quibbles with the device, and the MotoBlur interface can be a bit much, but the phone has a lot to like.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, 360 min, With digital camera / digital player, 5.7 oz

HTC Imagio (Verizon Wireless)
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 38 reviews
HTC Imagio (Verizon Wireless) Reviewed on 10/05/2009

The Bottom Line: The HTC Imagio is rich with both multimedia and business features, making it a great all-in-one smartphone for the Verizon globetrotter.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900 / CDMA2000 1X 1900/800, With digital camera, 6.5 oz

HTC Hero (Sprint)
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 153 reviews
HTC Hero (Sprint) Reviewed on 09/16/2009

The Bottom Line: While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface.

Specs: CDMA2000 1X 1900/800, 250 min, With digital camera / digital player

HTC Touch Pro2
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 33 reviews
HTC Touch Pro2 Reviewed on 06/30/2009

The Bottom Line: With a feature set to match its large size, the HTC Touch Pro2 will be a great device for power and business users once it finally hits North America and adds U.S. 3G support.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 510 min, With digital camera / digital player, 6.3 oz

Apple iPhone 3GS - 16GB - black (AT&T)
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.3 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 39 reviews
Apple iPhone 3GS - 16GB - black (AT&T) Reviewed on 06/17/2009

The Bottom Line: The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 600 min, With digital camera / digital player, 4.8 oz
