The Definitive Android Smartphone Guide

The Motorola Droid

The lowdown: This device is intended to be the crown jewel of the fall Android market and so far it's lived up to the hype. As the first Android-based device available on the Verizon network, the Droid uses an ARM Cortex A8 processor, which is the same processor used in the iPhone 3GS. However, while the iPhone's processor runs at 600MHz, the Droid's runs slightly slower at 550MHz. The device also features a full QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera, a 3.7-inch display screen and a wide video graphics array of 480 x 854 pixels, which blows the current Android smartphone screen resolutions out of the water.


HTC myTouch 3G




The lowdown: HTC had hoped to garner buzz by jumping on the Android bandwagon early by releasing its G1 device last fall and its myTouch 3G device late this summer. And while HTC's early entries did get it some publicity, they have now been overshadowed by other Android-based phones. The myTouch 3G, available on T-Mobile, gives you standard features for most Android phones: a 3.2-inch display screen, 192MB of RAM, a Flash Disk Drive of 512MB and an HVGA display of 480x320 pixels.


Samsung Moment (The Fastest One in the Market)

The lowdown: Samsung has been placing a lot more emphasis on developing Android-based smartphones this year, after initially falling behind rival device manufacturer HTC. The Moment's key feature is its homemade processor, which at 800MHz is the fastest processor of any Android phone on the market today. The Moment also features a standard 3.2-inch display with a 320x480-pixel resolution and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Samsung first began showing offits Android phone models during the CommunicAsia show in Singapore this summer when it debuted its Samsung Galaxy model.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

The lowdown: On paper, this device has the best specs of any Android device released to date. From its 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor to its four-inch display screen with 480x854-pixel resolution to its 8.1 megapixel camera, this device is Sony Ericsson's great hope for 2010. The phone, which isn't due to be released until the first quarter of 2010, doesn't yet have a carrier in the United States, but it will likely be available on either AT&T or T-Mobile since it is a GSM-based device.
