| Bottom line | Sleek and powerful, the Samsung Fascinate is another strong addition to Verizon's
Android lineup. Its user interface won't appeal to everyone, particularly seasoned Android users, but it's a good smartphone for the masses. | With its polished design and user interface, and blazing fast speeds, the HTC Droid Incredible takes pole position as Verizon's top smartphone and is now the
Android device to beat. | Though the lack of some features is disappointing, the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is an improved device and a good choice for Verizon customers looking for a global smartphone. | The Motorola Droid X makes another fine addition to Verizon's
Android family, bringing with it a rich multimedia experience and more connectivity features. | The HTC ThunderBolt lights up with blazingly fast data speeds, but those who want 4G now should be aware that it takes a big toll on the smartphone's battery life. |
