RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 (T-Mobile) Reviewed on 01/27/2009

The Bottom Line: 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.

Nokia N900 (unlocked) Reviewed on 12/11/2009

The Bottom Line: While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 540 min (GSM), Up to 300 min (WCDMA), 6.4 oz

Samsung Behold II (T-Mobile) Reviewed on 11/13/2009

The Bottom Line: Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turnoff.

Palm Pixi (Sprint)
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.0 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 7 reviews
Palm Pixi (Sprint) Reviewed on 11/12/2009

The Bottom Line: While not as powerful as the Pre, the Palm Pixi offers first-time smartphone buyers a decent set of features in a sleek little package. However, to be really competitive, we think it needs to come down in price just a touch.

Specs: 3.5 oz

HTC Droid Eris (Verizon Wireless)
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 58 reviews
HTC Droid Eris (Verizon Wireless) Reviewed on 11/06/2009

The Bottom Line: Though its 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.

Specs: CDMA2000 1X 1900/800, Up to 214 min, With digital camera, 4.2 oz

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.

  • User rating: 3h stars out of 265 reviews
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
