for the Motorola Droid Bionic:Best phone on the market
I agree with snook423's review; this is an excellent phone. The build is very high quality, I get more than a full days use on the standard battery, the screen is really beautiful and responsive. Download speeds are blazingly fast. Call clarity is excellent. The control buttons are well placed and accurately responsive. The phone has a docking station accessory so you can hook it up to a laptop and use the phone with a larger screen and keyboard. Very convenient ...

for the HTC Droid Incredible 2:A great "solid" smart phone
I have been in the cell phone business for about 25 years - and I am picky. The only phone who's virtual keyboard I could type on was my wife's iPhone4-great phone, but not for me so much. I've been using a Droid2 since it came out, and had a Dinc1 before that. I got this phone as a "work" phone, so 4G isn't important yet. Pros: This phone is the perfect size! It isn't like putting a plate to your ear, ...

for the Motorola Droid 2:Really, Really Good!
I came from the HTC Incredible- great phone, horrible battery life. But this isn't going to be a comparison- the Droid 2 can stand on its own! Build: This is phone is weighty, not so heavy as to be cumbersome, but you know when you are holding it. The hardware seems very good quality. The slide out keyboard opens and closes positively and has a good tactile feel to it. Screen: Great screen- OK one comparison-I can see the screen in direct ...

for the HTC Droid Incredible:Great Phone!
I have used this phone for almost a month. Since it was very different from the BB Tour and the Storm1 & 2 I have used, I thought I would give it awhile to get over the difference before commenting. I am a heavy phone user that uses it for business and traveling. So here is my take on this phone: -Very fast interface- easy to use & organize to my liking. -Touch screen is perfect; very accurate and easy to ...

for the BlackBerry Storm2 9550:This is a VERY good phone!
I use a cell phone for both intensive business and personal use. I believe that a $500 phone should just "work" I don't want to have to adapt to its quirks and foibles. It must function first as a clear communication device, next as a personal data manager, then as an entertainment device; and do all of this in a user friendly way! The BB Storm 2 hits the mark on all of this. I thought the Storm 1 was a ...

for the BlackBerry Storm 9530:It's REALLY good!
I read all of the hate mail the Storm was getting, and being the rebel that I am, I bought it anyway. I like Blackberries, and the technology the Storm was offering was intriguing. At first I thought I had made a mistake- typing errors, lag, etc., all true. I upgraded the O.S. Big improvement, but still not as convenient to use as my Curve. Then as I became more familiar with it I started "tweaking" ...

for the Samsung BlackJack II SGH-i617:Not Good
This phone looked like it would be great, but was very disappointing. Pros: Good keyboard layout Bright clear screen excellent audio Cons: The finish is a GREASE MAGNET! Fingerprints, etc. You can't arrange the Today Screen to show what you want- except for some predefined templates, which may or may be what you want. NO VOICE COMMAND - ARRRGH! This is horrible on a $400 phone! D-Pad not that great-hurt my thumb to use it. Phone doesn't come with a case. Many third party apps for WM5/6 are not compatible ...

for the Samsung SCH-i760:I like it, but....
Unless you are very experienced with PDA style phones, this may not be a good choice, and even then it's debate-able. I took this phone on a trip to San Francisco this weekend to test it out. Pros: -Screen is very bright and clear. -I got good touch screen response. -The sound is the best I have heard- stereo works well for small speakers. I took a video clip of a wedding, and the music actually sounded very good on playback. -Processor is fast and ...

for the BlackBerry Curve 8300:The best BB so far
I have used most of the WM5&6 PDAS (Tytn, Treo's, etc) and decided to jump to Blackberry, as I was getting really frustrated with the frequent reboots needed at critical points in operation with WM. The 8700 was to big, so I tried the 8800. Cute phone, but no camera, and the keyboard drove me nuts! So now I've had the 8300 for a couple of weeks, and here is my take; Pro's: -Nice form factor-very comfortable to ...

for the HTC TyTN / 8525 / JasJam (Hermes):Absolutely Amazing
I have been on a quest for "The Perfect PDA/Phone" ever since the concept began. The Tytn is the first one I have used (for 2 months now) that has all of the options and works flawlessly. It is the first device that seems to have all of the buttons in the right place, that don't accidentally "trip" going into pockets and holsters. Speaking of buttons-it has shortcut buttons for just about every important program, AND ...

for the Palm Treo 700p:Palm Finally Did It Right!
THIS TREO BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY! I am a business user- I need a reliable device to communicate, retrieve my email, and keep track of my crowded schedules. Then on my own time I want it to do fun stuff too. I have used a 600 and 650 since they became available. Last year I worked extensively with the WM/OS SCH-i730, then the HTC6700, and then a Treo 700W. It was like a high maintenance love affair - "if ...
