The HTC Droid Incredible is available on the Verizon wireless network.  The Droid Incredible is another winner from the HTC family of smartphones.

It blazes across the digital universe. It snaps stunning 8-megapixel photos.  It zips them instantly to all of your 8,000 friends.  With such attention to detail on the inside and out, the name of this phone pretty much says it all.

• Detailed focus. With eye-popping 8-megapixel resolution and built-in editing, it’s not a camera phone. It’s an amazing camera that happens to be an amazing phone.
• Built for speed.. HTC designers found inspiration for the Droid Incredible by HTC in a jet-black Italian sports car. With a blazing-fast 1GHz Snapdragon™ processor, it seems our hardware engineers did, too.
• Instant sharing. Capture the moment and post it instantly on Facebook®, Flickr®, or Picasa™. Mail it, message it, or send a peep to all your peeps.
• Instant friends. With the Friend Stream app, you always know what’s going on on Facebook and Twitter™, without actually going on Facebook and Twitter.
• Instant apps. The Android™ OS with HTC Sense™ delivers easy access to thousands of apps and games available at the Android Market™.

The Verizon HTC Droid Incredible is a fast phone with great options.  Video, browsing, and music are all easy to access and work great.  The screen is high quality, easy to view and works fine with the touch qwerty keyboard.

In the cell phone industry, the new Samsung Reality is known as a midrange phone. While not quite a smartphone, the Reality still packs a powerful punch and has several awesome features. The 3-inch display screen might cause some squinting to read smaller print, but finer definitions can still be noticed with the screen’s 240×400 pixel resolution. The display is a resistive touchscreen.

This phone was designed with social networking in mind and certainly doesn’t disappoint. A preloaded widget provides easy access to seven social networking file sharing websites: Facebook, Flickr, Friendster, MySpace, PhotoBucket, Twitter, and YouTube. You’ll find a convenient row of shortcuts along each menu screen. Interestingly, you can use either the full QWERTY physical or virtual keyboard to type up text, voice, instant, and multimedia messages. Several email options ensure you have access to all your email accounts while you’re out and about. You can enjoy a fully functional HTML browser on Verizon’s 3G network, and the Reality’s functions make website navigation easy. A 1,000 contact phonebook lets you store standard information on each entry, but one nifty feature is that you can also store birthdates. The Reality also comes with a file viewer that allows you to read Microsoft Office documents.

With superb call quality and a long battery life, the Samsung Reality is an excellent mobile device. It has a user friendly interface and other features that add to the experience. If you’re searching for a cheap alternative to expensive smartphones, the Samsung Reality would be an excellent selection.

The Just5 J509 is a new mobile phone with large keys and very simple, basic features. This phone is ideal for seniors who want a cell phone without all the bells and whistles. You can purchase this phone unlocked—meaning the phone can be used with any GSM carrier in the U.S.—for just $119.99. Two GSM carriers exist in the U.S.: T-Mobile and AT&T.

The J509 is relatively small, but as previously mentioned, its keypad buttons are quite large. The display is only 1.8 inches, though the text is large and legible and set against bright backlighting making it easier to read. You can send SMS messages with the J509; texts are, of course, composed via the keypad. One of the few features found on the phone is an FM radio. Also included are a charger and headset jack, voice mail, speakerphone, calculator, an emergency SOS button, 100 entry phonebook, and alarm clock. J509 phones are available in red, orange, gray, black, and white. While not the hippest phone on the planet, the J509 is ideal for seniors in search of value and simplicity in a mobile device.

LG recently released the LG dLite, a flip phone geared toward the young female crowd.  After looking at the specs, this appears to be a fairly middle of the road phone.  It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles we have come to expect from a smartphone, yet it certainly is much better than your typical starter phone.  It can be yours for the low price of $49.99 after signing a two-year contract with T-Mobile.

There are many features to like about this phone.  The display is big, though this isn’t necessarily a good thing as we explain later.  Users are sure to enjoy the high resolution, which results in a well-defined assortment of images.  We found the navigation keys quite useful in finding our way around the phone.  The dLite was built for compatibility with all the major free email services as well as with common social networking websites (more specifically Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter).  All your standard features are found on the dLite: speakerphone, alarm clock, GPS and Google Maps, large phonebook, instant messaging, an internet browser, 2.0 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, calculator, stopwatch, and many more.

The LG dLite comes with different animations depending on what the phone is doing at a particular moment.  For example, animations play whenever you have an incoming text message or call or when the music player is going.  Also, the bottom of the phone is an LED projector that flashes different colors and patterns of light that are preprogrammed into the phone.  This nifty feature is sure to earn more than a few oohs and awws from friends.

Despite its awesome features, the LG dLite is far from perfect.  Surprisingly, the phone lacks a 3.5mm headset jack, though it does come with an internal music player.  Its edges feel much too pointed.  When flipped open the phone is very long and almost looks silly.  This alone might be a turnoff for the image-conscious, but who knows, maybe long flip phones will become the new fad.  For some reason, LG didn’t take into consideration the camera angle on the phone, which means aiming to take a straight picture of your target is a rather awkward task.  Some may like the phone’s wallpaper and cute animation themes, while others might hate them for being too simplistic and childish-looking.

Despite the few negative features, the LG dLite should prove to be a great phone.  We are especially impressed by its low price tag and many quality features.  Available in bright pink or pastel blue, this phone is sure to appeal to most teenage girls.

The Nokia X6 was released late last year.  You can purchase an unlocked 16 GB version through Nokia for $333.00.  The box comes with a free mobile charger as well as a holder for your phone.
The X6 has a 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen.  At 640×360 pixels and up to 16.7 million colors, the display is impressive and vibrant.  There are two versions of the X6—one with 16 GB and the other with 32 GB.  Both have plenty of internal memory, which allows you to store countless photos, videos, music, and texts on the X6.

Nokia markets the X6 as an excellent music phone, and indeed it delivers.  You can sync this phone easily with the Windows Media Player.  Moreover, the X6 comes with a set of four sliders—love, anger, tranquility, and happiness—that you can adjust.  Once your adjustments are made a playlist is automatically generated.  We found this to be one of the more interesting features of the X6.  Better yet, the 32 GB version phones come with unlimited access to song downloads through Comes with Music.

Speaking of downloads, the Nokia X6 has access to both Wi-Fi and 3G networks.  The internet browser is one of the best you’ll discover on any smartphone.  You’ll also find that the keyboard makes navigation simple and fast.

Overall, the Nokia X6 is a great smartphone.  However, we question how viable of an option it is for most people due to the high price tag.  Still, if you’re able to get your hands on one we believe you’ll be more than satisfied with the X6’s performance and speed.

The Palm Pixi Plus is the latest smartphone available at AT&T.  Sleek, compact, and stylish, this is an excellent entry-level smartphone.  It comes with all the features one would hope to find in a smartphone, and the best part is that it can be yours for $49.99 simply by signing a two year service agreement.  You can also get a Palm Pixi Plus through Verizon for only $29.99.

What we like best about the Palm Pixi Plus is that it’s Wi-Fi compatible.  This is an upgrade from its predecessor, the Palm Pixi.  The Pixi Plus also has access to your carrier’s 3G network.  This means that no matter where you go you’ll almost always have internet access on your smartphone.  And, of course, the Pixi Plus doubles as a GPS navigator.  Better yet, Verizon users can tether up to five wireless devices to the Pixi Plus, thus turning it into a mobile Wi-Fi router and hotspot.  Of course, doing this costs an extra $40 per month and comes capped with 5 GB of data.  Not bad for such a cheap (and dependable) smartphone.

The Palm Pixi Plus allows for multitasking, something that hasn’t even been available on iPhones until recently.  For those who don’t know, multitasking means you can run several apps, programs, and websites at the same time.  Much like a computer or laptop, multitasking smartphones let you navigate quickly between various tasks.

Other features include a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.6-inch multitouch screen.  Indeed, this is an excellent smartphone for avid texters who enjoy the feel of a physical keyboard.  The 2 megapixel camera leaves much to be desired, so don’t purchase this phone if you’re looking to take high-quality photos.  Besides that, we feel users will overall be very satisfied owning the Palm Pixi Plus.

The newest T-Mobile Android 2.1 OS device is the HTC MyTouch 3G Slide.  Available in three colors—black, white, or red—the Slide goes on sale today, June 2.  Most of the features found in the MyTouch 3G, the predecessor to the Slide, are also found on this phone.  However, there are a couple key differences.  For instance, the Slide comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which helps the phone maintain its overall compactness.  Moreover, it features a large touch screen (3.4 inches) with HVGA resolution, thus ensuring high quality viewing.

The Slide has several awesome features.  For example, it comes with a 5 megapixel flash camera and video recorder.  As expected, the Slide has a Micro-USB port, making it simple to transfer data and sync with your computer in addition to charging your phone.  A capacitive touch screen, 3G and WiFi capabilities, Bluetooth, excellent call quality, a GPS navigator, and an optical trackpad are other key features of the Slide.  Besides a few tweaks here and there, it’s obvious to say that the Slide is only a slight upgrade over its predecessor.  Still, it’s important to note that the Slide is an excellent choice for someone in search of a reliable smartphone.
