Bottom line
The ZTE Render would be a great starter Windows Phone, but only if it came out a year ago.
Although U.S. Cellular's ZTE Director is inexpensive under contract, the carrier offers better handsets at the same low price.
If you're looking for a midtier Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Axiom's cheap price is hard to beat.
Nokia's Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it.
A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone.
