HTC Rezound 4G Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) Review

I was absolutely torn between Nexus vs Rezound. Both are great phones, but in the end, I ended up with the rezound, and I THINK I made the right choice. In brief, while the nexus has the bigger screen and ICS, the rezound, undoutbley has the better hardware, and will get ICS early 2012 anyway. You can upgrade the software, but you cannot upgrade the hardware. The rezound beats out the nexus in several major categories: 1.) SD card slot 2.) Disk-drive Mode. 3.) Faster processor. 4.) Slightly higher resolution 5.) Beats audio (more on that later) 6.) 8 MP vs 5 MP camera. The Nexus has its advantages over the rezound, but they end up not being as important: 1.) Slightly bigger screen. 2.) Slightly thinner/lighter. 3.) ICS

Of course, ICS is a big advantage of the nexus over the rezound, but again, the rezound will get ICS is the upcoming weeks anyway, rendering the major advantage that the nexus has, moot.

HTC EVO Design 4G Android Phone (Sprint) Review

The EVO Design is a long, slim smartphone reminiscent of the original Droid Incredible but longer. It fits perfectly in my hand, even with a Seidio case on it, and is perfectly sized for one-handed texting. Having owned an original EVO for just over a year, I immediately noticed this phone seems quicker -- the Sense UI in the EVO never really felt slow, but in the Design it has a more instantaneous feel. Sense 3.0 is amazing. If you don't like the ringer, wallpaper, or layout options that HTC has pre-loaded, you can go over to their Beta website and download hundreds more for free.

HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Phone, Plum (Sprint) Review

I was looking for the best deals on a new phone because I was due for an upgrade and i had my mind set on an EVO 4g or the shift then I realized that i wanted the bigger screen & as much as I disliked touch keyboards I would be willing to compromise. I was set on the white EVO untill I decided to check the specs on the 3d EVO which I assumed it was all the same except it did 3d but i was wrong. The 3d is about 3 times faster than EVO 4g, higher res screen w/ true 16:9 widescreen, sense 3.0, better battery, etc

You can also access visual voicemail through Phone or Messages. Use the slider bar to go back and forth in a message .

Blackberry Torch 9850 Phone (Sprint)

After years of a physical keyboard I expected a big compromise to go to touch-only. Within a day, the virtual keyboard was at least as productive, and the 9850's intelligent correction takes care of most of my typos anyway. Screen is fantastic - first one I've ever seen that can be used easily in direct sunlight. Battery life is superb - 10 hours of serious use is no problem. No million available apps like i- and droid, but still more than I need or want. Great for syncing with Outlook (a problem with Android), and easy options for tethering. I read the complaints about the mix of touch and "hard" keys, but for me this mix is very functional. And the feel, size, weight, and look are all first rate. Android and iPhone may be better toys, but this Torch shines if you really mean business. A wonderful surprise how much better it is than I expected.


FREE Two-Day Shipping

Delivering the best multimedia experience ever on a BlackBerry smartphone, the all-touch, 3G-enabled BlackBerry Torch 9850 for Sprint offers a spectacular 3.7-inch touchscreen display--the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone.
