| Bottom line | If you live in an area that gets AT&T's LTE network, we highly recommend the powerful and beautiful Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. | The Huawei Impulse 4G satisfies the basics of most
Android phones, but its outdated software and inconsistent speeds keep us from fully recommending it despite its bargain price. | Anyone looking for an alternative to the iPhone, but who wants better multimedia features and a more organized user interface than
Android offers, should look at the Samsung Focus with Windows Phone 7, which has all that plus solid performance and a sleek design. | 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. |
