HTC DROID Incredible

HTC DROID Incredible

The DROID Incredibly by HTC is arguably one of the hottest cell phones available to date. There are plenty of good reasons: It has an elegant design, gorgeous display, easy-to-use Google Android 2.1 operating system, HTC Sense overlay that makes it just that more customizable, and finally, did we mention that it’s fast? It is. Literally, there’s minimal if no lag time when switching between screens, applications, or surfing the web. Oh and if that’s not enough did we mention it has an 8-megapixel camera with dual flash, and 8GB of internal memory? In short, this 3G smartphone won’t let you down.

LG Dare

LG Dare

While the LG Dare doesn’t look like what you’d expect a cell phone to look like, it definitely lives up to its name. This cell phone dares to look different without sacrificing on functionality and usability. It has all the high-end features you’d expect: 3.2-megapixel camera, touch-screen, stereo Bluetooth, MP3 player, navigation system, and high-speed web surfing. In short, there’s not much you can’t do when you’ve got the Dare on-hand and you’ll just feel cool using it.

The Motorola Ming is one of those cell phones we couldn’t wait to get our hands on, and once we got to use it, we knew why. It’s just that fun and cool to use. Although this is an unlocked cell phone and some of its menus are in a foreign language, we didn’t have much of a translation problem - it’s that intuitive. In short, the Motorola Ming is a real head-turner with a ton of features that are easy to execute and fun to use.

LG VX8700

LG VX8700

What’s thin, supershiny, and ultrastylish? No, it’s not one of the silver Razrs. It’s the LG VX8700. This cell phone is definitely a looker, and its beauty isn’t limited to its exterior. Flip open the phone and you’ll see a bright, gorgeous display. The cell phone also sports many of the latest features: a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and (of course) a music player. However, if you want to listen to music on this cell phone, you’ll need a separate headset and probably an external MicroSD media card to store more songs than the VX8700’s limited internal memory can hold. But if you want a good-looking phone with stellar battery life and music isn’t your primary concern, check out the LG VX8700.

If you were enamored with the Samsung Blade or any version of the Motorola Razr, you would be remiss not to at least consider the Samsung M610. This cell phone is thinner than both those models; is arguably just as attractive; sports many similar features; including expandable memory and Bluetooth; and has stellar battery life. It even includes a built-in 2-megapixel camera--we just wish the picture quality was better.

Motorola KRZR - Verizon

Motorola KRZR - Verizon

Motorola’s Krzr is one slick cell phone. It’s not only smaller than its older brother, the Razr, but it is even a little more stylish. This cell phone has all the latest multi-media features including MP3 playback, a 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder. Although, the Krzr’s display isn’t as bright or crisp as other cell phones being introduced, it’s just fine for this small cell phone. If you’re in the market for a highly pocketable and stylish cell phone that’s easy to use and has stellar call quality, consider the Motorola Krzr. You won’t be disappointed.

The HTC HD7 has a lot to offer PC users looking for a multimedia-centric workhorse cell phone. We appreciated many of the features included to make this Windows Phone 7 fun to use including streaming Netflix movies, playing XBOX Live games, and even the kickstand included on the back of the phone.

Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)

Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)

The Samsung Epic 4G is the second 4G cell phone in the US and it’s quite the compliment to the HTC Evo 4G. The Epic 4G isn’t as large as its predecessor featuring a 4-inch display instead of a 4.3-inch display, but it does have a spacious 5-line slide-our QWERTY keyboard and SWYPE text-input method. It also has a lot going for it: it runs Andorid 2.1, has a speedy 1Ghz processor, comes with a 16GB microSD card, sports Sprint’s Mobile HotSpot for sharing the data connection with up to 5 other WiFi-enabled devices, and even lets you share media with other DLNA compatible electronics. It’s also the only smartphone in Samsung’s Galaxy S line to sport a keyboard to date. All this comes in a fairly lightweight, stylish casing.
