| Bottom line | The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured
Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better. | The LG Optimus Elite packs a couple of interesting extras, but at its core it's no more than an average
Android phone with a less than elite design. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | The HTC Evo 4G is easily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's top
Android devices. It also shows the promise of 4G, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax network expands, but until there's broader 4G coverage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory premium data add-on fee. | The Samsung Transform Ultra is a worthy QWERTY handset to join Boost Mobile's
Android lineup. Mobile ID offers something different, but not everyone will want it. |
