Rank Most Popular Titles
1 Motorola Droid (Verizon Wireless)
Some minor design issues and multimedia quibbles aside, 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.
2 HTC Hero (Sprint)
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.
3 RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 (Verizon Wireless)
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.
4 Apple iPhone 3GS - 32GB - black (AT&T)
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.
5 HTC Droid Eris (Verizon Wireless)
Though performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price.
6 Motorola Cliq - titanium (T-Mobile)
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.
7 Samsung Rogue SCH-U960 (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.
8 LG enV Touch (Verizon Wireless)
The LG enV Touch's combination of great design and top-notch features makes it one of the top Verizon Wireless Wireless phones we've ever seen.
9 HTC Imagio (Verizon Wireless)
The HTC Imagio is rich with both multimedia and business features, making it a great all-in-one smartphone for the Verizon globetrotter.
10 RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Verizon Wireless)
With a winning design and fast performance, the RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 is one of Verizon Wireless' top smartphones for both business users and messaging fanatics.
11 Samsung Moment (Sprint)
With its full keyboard and bright display, the Samsung Moment successfully rounds out Sprint's Android offerings.
12 RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile)
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.
13 Palm Pre (Sprint)
Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalleled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.
14 LG Chocolate Touch (Verizon Wireless)
Despite our issues with the browser and the uninteresting design, the LG Chocolate Touch is a terrific music phone for Verizon Wireless.
15 RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 (T-Mobile)
We're disappointed by the lack of 3G, but the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a solid update to the Curve series, bringing a better design, improved features, and faster performance and is one of T-Mobile's top smartphone offerings.
16 Samsung Behold SGH-T919 - Rose (T-Mobile)
Though it lacks Wi-Fi, the Samsung Behold is a sleek touch-screen phone with a range of features and an easily understood interface.
17 LG Versa (Verizon Wireless)
If you can live with the clunky Web browser, the LG Versa is a very good touch-screen phone with the added versatility of optional modules.
18 HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)
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.
19 Samsung Solstice SGH-A887 (AT&T)
The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.
20 Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850 (Sprint)
The Samsung Instinct HD packs a lot of features and decent performance into an appealing design. But even with all it has to offer, we'd prefer to pay less and get a full smartphone.
21 HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint)
Despite the jaw-dropping price tag, the HTC Touch Pro2 is a powerful smartphone that delivers in performance and features to make it one of the best devices for Sprint's business customers.
22 LG VU - black (AT&T)
Despite a few quibbles with the touch screen, its full features and excellent performance make the LG Vu one of the hottest phones this year.
23 T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (white)
With the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, the Google Android OS gets a much-needed boost. A few complaints remain, and some users may bemoan the lack of a physical keyboard, but we approve of its eye-catching design and interface, improved features, and satisfying performance.
24 HTC Pure (AT&T)
The HTC Pure offers AT&T customers an affordable touch-screen smartphone that showcases a more intuitive Windows Mobile operating system and strikes a nice balance between work and play. That said, those looking for a handset that excels in multimedia and Web browsing should stick with the iPhone.
25 T-Mobile G1 (black)
While we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.
