Review summary |
AT&T is the biggest wireless carrier in the United States, with 62 million subscribers.
|
Despite a few quibbles with the touch screen, its full features and excellent performance make the LG Vu one of the hottest phones this year.
|
The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.
|
The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement.
|
The LG Dare is an innovative and feature-rich handset with several surprises that sets it apart from other touch-screen phones.
