The Bottom Line	While we love the tactile feedback of the haptic touch screen and we think the feature set is pretty decent, the Samsung SGH-i718's high price tag and lack of 3G support suggests to us that you should look elsewhere for your Pocket PC needs.	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.	The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.	The Samsung Eternity succeeds as a multimedia device, but without Wi-Fi and full e-mail support, it stops well short of being a business-friendly device.	While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface.
