| Bottom line | Samsung's Rugby Pro makes a good, affordable choice for people seeking a more rugged smartphone, but it won't satisfy those who need an ultradurable frame. | The Motorola Droid
Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. | 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. |
