| Bottom line | With its eco-friendly design and spiffy solar panels, the Samsung Blue Earth is more than just a gimmick; it's also an appealing cell phone with character. | With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the
Samsung Galaxy Note with Android 4.0 is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens extra-large will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will simply be too big. | The Samsung Acclaim is a pretty good
Android phone for those on a budget, but we were disappointed with the keyboard and call quality. | Though the Optimus Vu fits into the novel "phablet" category, forking over $900 for any Gingerbread phone isn't worth it, no matter what the screen size. | The Samsung Infuse 4G disappoints in some areas, but it's still a very good
Android smartphone for AT&T customers as long as you're OK with the larger design. |
