All Smartphones

The Bottom Line: The Garmin Nuvifone G60 makes a fine navigator but fails as a smartphone. It's not worth the money.

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

The Bottom Line: With the design improvements and enhancements of Windows Mobile 6.5, the HTC Touch2 makes for a nice smartphone for first-time users. Unfortunately, it's not bound for the U.S. and may not be worth its unlocked price.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 440 min, With digital camera / digital player, 3.9 oz

The Bottom Line: 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.

Specs: Up to 336 min (GSM), Up to 300 min (WCDMA), With digital camera / digital player

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: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) / CDMA 800/1900 (Dual Band) / HSDPA 2100, With digital camera

The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, the Nokia N86 8MP is one of the more advanced and better camera phones on the market today, but there are cheaper alternatives.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 378 min (GSM), Up to 234 min (WCDMA), With digital camera / digital player / FM radio, 5.3 oz

The Bottom Line: Despite some minor complaints, the Nokia 5130 Xpress Music is an ideal choice for a budget music phone.

Specs: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband), Up to 360 min, With digital camera / digital player / FM radio, 0.2 lbs

The Bottom Line: For Verizon's business customers who need more than just a messaging smartphone, the HTC Touch Pro2 delivers with more robust productivity tools and good performance.

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: With digital camera / digital player

The Bottom Line: For Alltel customers looking for a messaging-centric smartphone, the HTC Snap offers a nice, budget-friendly alternative to the carrier's BlackBerry offerings.

The Bottom Line: Despite some spotty call quality, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint is a great messaging device with the bonus of EV-DO and integrated GPS. Plus, it offers more services than the Verizon BlackBerry Curve.
