CNET Reviews - Most Recent Cell Phones and Accessories

Sony Ericsson Vivaz (AT&T) - cosmic black
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers value for its price, but we'd suggest paying extra for a more powerful smartphone.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530 (MetroPCS)
Though not the best BlackBerry on the market, the Curve 8530 is a great entry-level smartphone, especially with MetroPCS's inexpensive unlimited monthly plan.

Samsung Gravity 3 - citrus white (T-Mobile)
The Samsung Gravity 3's full QWERTY keyboard and messaging features are enough to satisfy most heavy communicators, with other advanced features icing the cake. At $50 with a two-year service agreement, the Gravity is a good midlevel option for those who aren't ready to jump into the smartphone arena.

Kyocera Neo E1100 (MetroPCS)
The Kyocera Neo E1100 isn't perfect, but it's a perfectly satisfying phone for making calls.

Samsung Flight II SGH-A927 (AT&T)
The Samsung Flight II may have decent multimedia features, but its overall sluggishness keeps us from recommending it.

Pantech Jest - blue (Verizon Wireless)
The Pantech Jest is a decent messaging phone for the young social-networking enthusiast, but the optical pad might be a nuisance.

HTC Desire (U.S. Cellular)
Sleek and fast, the HTC Desire is not only U.S. Cellular's best Android device but the carrier's best smartphone to date.

Samsung Eternity II SGH-A597 (AT&T)
With a dated design and average performance, the Samsung Eternity II doesn't give us reasons to buy it over the original Eternity.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (AT&T)
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 offers a slick, user-friendly design with a solid feature set and good call quality. We lament, however, that the device is stuck on Android 1.6.

Samsung Gusto (Verizon Wireless)
The entry-level Samsung Gusto has some useful features and a great price, but with mediocre call quality and a flimsy construction, it generates little more than mild interest.

Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)
The Samsung Epic 4G is a multimedia powerhouse with features the other Galaxy S phones don't have. Unfortunately, it comes with a big price tag.

Motorola Droid 2 (Verizon Wireless)
The Motorola Droid 2 offers a number of improvements that make it a worthy upgrade from the Droid and certainly a top choice for those who want a smartphone with a physical keyboard.

Motorola Milestone XT720 (unlocked)
The Motorola Milestone XT720 is a full-featured and sleek Android smartphone, but it's rather underwhelming in the performance department.

Samsung Intensity II - deep gray (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Intensity II is a good midrange phone for teens, thanks to its various social networking and communications tools. While there are some drawbacks, the moderate price is a draw.

Samsung Intensity II - metallic blue (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Intensity II is a good midrange phone for teens, thanks to its various social networking and communications tools. While there are some drawbacks, the moderate price is a draw.

Motorola i1 (Sprint Nextel)
The Motorola i1 is not the best Android phone by any means, but if you must have an Android handset with iDEN push-to-talk, the i1 is your only choice.

HTC Wildfire - brown (unlocked)
Designed for international markets, the HTC Wildfire is a compact, budget-friendly Android phone packed with features, but you can find similar devices in North America for less on contract and with added 3G support.

HTC Wildfire - black (unlocked)
Designed for international markets, the HTC Wildfire is a compact, budget-friendly Android phone packed with features, but you can find similar devices in North America for less on contract and with added 3G support.

HTC Wildfire - red (unlocked)
Designed for international markets, the HTC Wildfire is a compact, budget-friendly Android phone packed with features, but you can find similar devices in North America for less on contract and with added 3G support.

HTC Wildfire - white (unlocked)
Designed for international markets, the HTC Wildfire is a compact, budget-friendly Android phone packed with features, but you can find similar devices in North America for less on contract and with added 3G support.
