National Geographic Talk Abroad Lite
As a phone, the National Geographic Talk Abroad Lite is weak, flimsy, and lacks essentials. However, as an emergency travel phone, its light, simple, and affordable build could do the trick for some.

HTC One X - white (AT&T)
Quad-core processing isn't everything, and AT&T's new $199.99 HTC One X proves it. This advanced Android has style, speed, blazing 4G, and power galore.

Ballistic's LifeStyle Smooth Series is an affordable, stylish, and durable case with just a few quirks.
ZTE Score M (MetroPCS)
Though the ZTE Score M makes satisfying calls, its sluggish processor and network speeds aren�t worth the trouble.
Samsung Gusto 2 (Verizon Wireless)
Verizon customers looking for a simple phone will appreciate the Samsung Gusto 2's emphasis on call quality and comfort, despite a few minor flaws.
Samsung Galaxy S Aviator (U.S. Cellular)
With the Samsung Galaxy S Aviator, US Cellular gains another Android smartphone option. Unfortunately, the carrier's limited 4G LTE access and the weak single-core CPU weigh down an otherwise high-flying handset.
LG Rumor Reflex (Boost Mobile)
As a feature phone, the Rumor Reflex can do the basics well and its QWERTY keyboard and touch-screen display make it easy to use.
HTC One S - gradient blue (T-Mobile)
The HTC One S is the best phone you can get on T-Mobile (for now), wrapping Android 4.0, 4G data speeds, and a beautiful 4.3-inch AMOLED screen into one svelte package.
LG Viper (Sprint)
Although many of its features still won't be available by the time it hits stores, the LG Viper is a reliable, environmentally conscious device with an excellent camera.
Pantech Jest 2 (Verizon Wireless) - Refurbished
The Pantech Jest 2 brings decent features for a cheap price, but its flat call quality and square shape don't do it any favors.
LG Rumor Reflex - black (Sprint)
As a feature phone, the Rumor Reflex can do the basics well and its QWERTY keyboard and touch-screen display make it easy to use.
LG Lucid (Verizon Wireless)
Though it's stuck on Gingerbread, the Lucid's great camera, snappy performance, and cheap price tag make it a solid choice for a budget 4G Android phone.
HTC Titan II (AT&T)
The HTC Titan II pushes the limit of just how big and capable a Windows smartphone can be. If it weren't for the lower-priced Nokia Lumia 900, the Titan II would be the greatest Windows Phone 7 handset to walk the earth.
Pantech Hotshot - red (Verizon Wireless)
With its delayed touch screen and sluggish processor, the Hotshot's smartphone-esque look is a detriment. It's better to commit to a full-on feature phone or a smartphone instead of a device that overlaps the two.
Nokia Lumia 900 - white (AT&T)
The Nokia Lumia 900's unique design and high-end features make Windows Phone look fantastic, and the $99 price is extremely fair. Despite some flaws, this is my favorite Windows Phone yet.

The Nokia Lumia 900's unique design and high-end features make Windows Phone look fantastic, and the $99 price is extremely fair. Despite some flaws, this is my favorite Windows Phone yet.
Nike FuelBand
Armed with a few tricks, the Nike FuelBand can be very effective as a motivator for casual exercise, but its limitations will leave serious athletes disappointed.
Huawei Pinnacle (MetroPCS)
On the strength of its budget price, its user interface, and its tools, the Huawei Pinnacle is a good choice for those who plan to use the phone primarily for texting and personal organization. However, some flaws, like mediocre call quality, cast a shadow on this QWERTY cell phone.
ZTE Fury (Sprint)
The ZTE Fury is a great entry-level 3G phone. It comes with all the bare-bones smartphone specs you expect and it performs well. And at just 20 bucks, you can't go wrong.
Motorola MotoActv GPS Fitness Tracker and Music Player (8GB)
Motorola's incredibly capable MotoActv fitness device can tackle just about any fitness task--such as tracking workouts via GPS and connecting to headsets via Bluetooth--and it serves as a very tiny digital music player. Yet, if you're looking for a simple tool to measure daily activity and provide holistic advice on how to shed some pounds, this training tool isn't for you.
Motorola MotoActv GPS Fitness Tracker and Music Player (16GB)
Motorola's incredibly capable MotoActv fitness device can tackle just about any fitness task--such as tracking workouts via GPS and connecting to headsets via Bluetooth--and it serves as a very tiny digital music player. Yet, if you're looking for a simple tool to measure daily activity and provide holistic advice on how to shed some pounds, this training tool isn't for you.
LG Connect 4G (MetroPCS)
The Connect 4G has a steep price tag for a reason, but you get 4G speeds, a zippy processor, and a superb touch screen.
Samsung Brightside (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Brightside isn't my all-time favorite feature phone, thanks to its exposed touch-screen menu, low-res screen, and laggy processor, but it is one option for Verizon customers.
Samsung Rugby Smart (AT&T)
The Samsung Rugby Smart can take plenty of punches, without skimping on the smartphone features. Unlike other rugged phones, it's easy on the eyes and it can run on 4G.
ZTE Chorus (Cricket Wireless)
If you have no interest in smartphones but want an audio player with unlimited song downloads, the budget-friendly Chorus delivers great song and call quality, but its display is extremely unresponsive.
Pantech Burst - titanium (AT&T)
At just $50, the feature-rich Pantech Burst packs in more high-end goodies than you'd expect from a budget LTE phone. However, call quality and battery life aren't its strong suits.
Samsung Galaxy Note (unlocked)
With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens XL will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will just simply be too big.
Samsung Galaxy Note - carbon blue (AT&T)
With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens XL will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will just simply be too big.
Samsung Galaxy Note - ceramic white (AT&T)
With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens XL will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will just simply be too big.
LG Marquee (Boost Mobile)
The LG Marquee's slim design and jam-packed feature set make it Boost Mobile's flagship phone. But its high price (even without a contract) and slow processor will make it a tough sell.
Motorola Droid 4 (Verizon Wireless)
Melding an excellent keyboard, swift LTE data, and a 1.2GHz dual-core processor into one Android device, the Motorola Droid 4 is long overdue. Fans of the first Motorola Droid will find plenty to smile about here, but those who aren't married to a QWERTY keyboard may not enjoy carrying around such a massive phone.

Fans of the first Motorola Droid will find plenty to smile about here, but those who aren't married to a QWERTY may not enjoy carrying around such a massive phone.
Samsung SPH-M370 - pewter gray (Sprint)
The comfortable Samsung SPH-M370 is a basic flip phone that does what it says, unadorned and unembellished, and at the right price.
Parrot Minikit+
The Parrot Minikit+ makes good use of its voice controls and excellent microphone to deliver clear calls and a safer driving experience.
T-Mobile MyTouch (black)
Though not without its merits, this most recent addition to the MyTouch family has too many things against it. No one issue was unbearable on its own, but when I add up all my qualms about it, I'd ultimately suggest another phone within its class.

Though not without its merits, this most recent addition to the MyTouch family has too many things against it. No one issue was unbearable on its own, but when I add up all my qualms about it, I'd ultimately suggest another phone within its class.
Samsung Replenish - onyx black (Boost Mobile)
Keep in mind that the Samsung Replenish is an entry-level smartphone, and you may enjoy the Android handset's QWERTY keyboard and camera. If it's quick browsing you're after, keep looking.
T-Mobile MyTouch Q (gray)
If you absolutely crave a physical keyboard and swift 4G data for less, you'll find plenty to like about T-Mobile's MyTouch Q. More selective smartphone shoppers, however, will want to look elsewhere.
T-Mobile MyTouch Q (violet)
If you absolutely crave a physical keyboard and swift 4G data for less, you'll find plenty to like about T-Mobile's MyTouch Q. More selective smartphone shoppers, however, will want to look elsewhere.
LG Spectrum (Verizon Wireless)
The LG Spectrum's clean design brings preppy style to some of the fastest 4G LTE data speeds around. The smartphone's attention to HD is admirable, but a few interface and performance flaws could scare away some.
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx (Verizon Wireless)
The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. If you can live without Ice Cream Sandwich and have big hands, the Maxx is extremely compelling.
Huawei Mercury (Cricket Wireless)
With its dual cameras, strong processor, and attention to camera detail, the Huawei Mercury tops Cricket's charts for a non-Muve Music smartphone, but insatiable Web surfers may still want to shop around.
PCD Wrangler (U.S. Cellular)
Don't be lured by the PCD Wrangler's rugged build or cheap price. Its weak call quality and lack of trendy smartphone features give this tough flip phone a glass jaw.
Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G (MetroPCS)
Samsung's middle-of-the-road Galaxy Attain 4G has a nice price and attractive design for MetroPCS customers; but those seeking true LTE speeds should choose a different carrier.
Nokia Lumia 710 - black (T-Mobile)
The $49.99 Nokia Lumia 710 is an excellent way to get the growing capabilities of a Windows Mango smartphone for a rock-bottom price. Though it isn't an Android superphone with a luscious AMOLED display, it's a practical device that covers all the mobile bases.

Casio G'zOne Ravine 2 (Verizon Wireless)
The Casio G'zOne continues Casio's long tradition of ultrarugged phones with the bonus of improved call quality.
Casio G'zOne Ravine 2 - no camera (Verizon Wireless)
The Casio G'zOne continues Casio's long tradition of ultrarugged phones with the bonus of improved call quality.
Huawei U8860 Honor - vibrant yellow (unlocked)
The Huawei Honor may be a step up from most of the company's devices that we get our hands on, but U.S. customers should seek local versions of the Android smartphone, like the Huawei Mercury with Cricket.
Huawei U8860 Honor - elegant white (unlocked)
The Huawei Honor may be a step up from most of the company's devices that we get our hands on, but U.S. customers should seek local versions of the Android smartphone, like the Huawei Mercury with Cricket.
Huawei U8860 Honor - glossy black (unlocked)

Huawei U8860 Honor - burgundy (unlocked)
The Huawei Honor may be a step up from most of the company's devices that we get our hands on, but U.S. customers should seek local versions of the Android smartphone, like the Huawei Mercury with Cricket.
Pantech Pocket (AT&T)
The Pantech Pocket dishes up a solid 4G Android Gingerbread experience at a wallet-friendly price, but the extra-wide frame, absent camera flash, and poor video playback quality could deter some folks.
ZTE Warp (Boost Mobile)
The $199 ZTE Warp may sound like a cutting-edge smartphone from the future, but it's really an entry-level Android handset with modest speeds, slow 3G data, and a basic camera. On Boost Mobile's no-contract service, however, it fits in well.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Wireless)
As the first U.S. phone with Ice Cream Sandwich, Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Nexus takes a coveted, solitary step forward. However, once other premium handsets receive the updated Android OS, the Galaxy Nexus will lose some of its competitive edge.
Samsung Repp - red (U.S. Cellular)
The Samsung Repp offers a decent set of features for the free price, but it's worth shopping around for other U.S. Cellular deals.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (pure white)
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (gloss black)
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (misty silver)
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (gradient blue)
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (sakura pink)
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
HTC Wildfire S (MetroPCS)
Despite its small stature, the HTC Wildfire S is well-crafted and easy on the eye. Unfortunately, a slow data network holds it back.
LG Nitro HD (AT&T)
With its gorgeous display, high-def everything, and 4G speeds, the LG Nitro HD has what it takes to compete; however, a few flaws keep it from trampling the competition.
Kyocera DuraCore (Sprint)
Up to military specifications, the durable Kyocera DuraCore runs on Sprint's fast Direct Connect push-to-talk network, but those who prefer a camera and a phone they can dunk in water will want the DuraMax.
Samsung Focus S (AT&T)
Bolstered by a brilliant display and strong hardware specs, the Samsung Focus S is arguably the best Windows Phone ever released.
Samsung Transform Ultra (Sprint)
Folks looking for a phone with a QWERTY keyboard will find in the Samsung Transform Ultra a reliable midtier device, though $20 more could nab you an even better phone.
Samsung Illusion SCH-I110 (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Illusion is a wholly decent midrange smartphone that won't wow you, but mostly delivers. However, there are a few flaws.
HTC Titan (AT&T)
The HTC Titan's big and beautiful design and impressive features make it one of the better Windows Phone offerings on AT&T.
HTC Wildfire S - gray (U.S. Cellular)
If you can get past its small size, the HTC Wildfire S is a bargain for first-time smartphone customers with few-to-no expectations.
HTC Wildfire S - purple (U.S. Cellular)
If you can get past its small size, the HTC Wildfire S is a bargain for first-time smartphone customers with few-to-no expectations.
Kyocera DuraMax (Sprint)
The Kyocera DuraMax is a basic but durable handset that offers Direct Connect services over Sprint's faster CDMA network, but a couple of issues will prevent some iDEN customers from making the switch for now.
BlackBerry Torch 9810 (T-Mobile)
The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 should satisfy BlackBerry fans with its responsive touch screen and overall specs, but for $50 more, T-Mobile customers could get the much better Bold 9900 instead.
BlackBerry Curve 9350 (Sprint)
For those who seek an affordable and entry-level BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Curve 9350 is the way to go.
HTC Rezound (Verizon Wireless)
While it may have a hefty build, the HTC Rezound's beautiful display, commendable performance, and multimedia-rich features make it a top phone for Verizon customers.
HTC Vivid - white (AT&T)
If you can overlook the cheap plastic design, the HTC Vivid delivers an all-around excellent user experience at a palatable price.
HTC Vivid - black (AT&T)
If you can overlook the cheap plastic design, the HTC Vivid delivers an all-around excellent user experience at a palatable price.
Pantech Link II (AT&T)
With its great call quality and accessible design, the Pantech Link II is a great option for AT&T customers who don't need a workhorse of a cell phone.
HTC Radar 4G (T-Mobile)
The combination of a beautiful design, Windows Phone, and an affordable price tag makes the HTC Radar 4G a great smartphone for first-time buyers and those who don't need all the bells and whistles.
Motorola Droid Razr (Verizon Wireless)
With its razor-thin design, jam-packed features, and blazing speed, the Motorola Droid Razr is easily one of the year's top Android smartphones.
Nokia Lumia 800 - cyan (unlocked)
The unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 has an innovative design and gorgeous screen, but the poor camera quality and lack of a front-facing camera are major detractions.
Nokia Lumia 800 - magenta (unlocked)
The unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 has an innovative design and gorgeous screen, but the poor camera quality and lack of a front-facing camera are major detractions.
Samsung Focus Flash (AT&T)
The Samsung Focus Flash offers excellent value for its modest price, with a zippy 1.4GHz processor, two cameras, and a vivid screen, though the screen's smallish size and the phone's middling call quality are detractions.
Kyocera Milano - black (Sprint)
The Kyocera Milano is certainly an affordable entry-level Android phone, but Sprint customers have better options available to them.
Samsung Stratosphere (Verizon Wireless)
The Samsung Stratosphere's blazing 4G LTE speeds, QWERTY keyboard, and business tools lend it credence as a handset for corporate minds, but its last-season specs may fail to lure those looking for the ultimate smartphone.
HTC Evo Design 4G (Sprint)
The HTC Evo Design 4G gives you a lot of smartphone for a good price--fast 4G speeds, a good camera, a strong processor, and a sophisticated design. It's an excellent choice for Sprint customers, except those who are specifically looking for a dual-core phone.
BlackBerry Curve 9360
The RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 makes a great entry-level offering for those already in the BlackBerry camp.
Samsung Transform Ultra (Boost Mobile)
The Samsung Transform Ultra is a worthy QWERTY handset to join Boost Mobile's Android lineup. Mobile ID offers something different, but not everyone will want it.
Motorola Atrix 2 (AT&T)
For the price, the Motorola Atrix 2 is an amazingly feature-packed high-performance Android phone for AT&T customers.
LG Enlighten (Verizon Wireless)
The LG Enlighten is a great beginner smartphone for Verizon Wireless customers who want a physical keyboard.
HTC Hero S (U.S. Cellular)
The HTC Hero S is an attractive and capable Android smartphone for U.S. Cellular customers, but the Motorola Electrify offers more bang for your buck.
Kyocera Brio - gray (Sprint)
The Kyocera Brio is worth the price you pay for it, but unless you're in the market for a free feature phone with a small screen, QWERTY keyboard, and good call quality, keep on moving.
HTC Amaze 4G - black (T-Mobile)
The HTC Amaze 4G is a beautifully designed and fast Android smartphone, with some advanced camera features, but don't go ditching your point-and-shoot camera just yet.
HTC Amaze 4G - white (T-Mobile)
The HTC Amaze 4G is a beautifully designed and fast Android smartphone, with some advanced camera features, but don't go ditching your point-and-shoot camera just yet.
Apple iPhone 4S - 64GB - white (Verizon Wireless)
The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.
Apple iPhone 4S - 16GB - black (Verizon Wireless)
The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.
