Motorola Droid RAZR and the Motorola MOTOACTV

The Droid RAZR by Motorola is the future of smartphones and has the features to back it up. This phone has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, an 8MP primary camera with a 1.3MP front facing camera, a huge 4.3-in. Super AMOLED Advanced qHD screen, and 16gb of internal memory with a 16gb microsd installed expandable to 32gb giving this phone a potential 48gb of memory! With a super slim design, light weight, 4G LTE network and ANDROID platform this is a great phone to have. In my opinion the only negative would be the price tag, which is $300. This device also can connect wirelessly to a device that truly impressed me. The Motorola MOTOACTV.

The little device is the future of wrist technology, so it only makes sense that I link them together. I have always been a fan of Motorola's products and this "smartwatch", as I call it, has impressive functionality. This is the dream of anyone who runs or works out and can store your music, monitor your heart rate, and also track your location giving accurate running distances.  

Samsung Galaxy S II

If you're looking for the next generation of smartphone look no further. This is one of the thinnest, lightest, and fastest smartphones on the market and is turning a lot of heads. The Samsung Galaxy S II 4G boasts a huge 4.3 super AMOLED plus display, an 8MP camera with a 2MP front facing camera, a dual core processor, Bluetooth 3.0, optional 16gb or 32gb of memory(32gb expandable), and many more features that put it in the front of the pack. This is the definition of computing on the go.

Apple Iphone 4s

The Apple Iphone 4s. If you thought the Iphone 4 was impressive just add steroids and you'll have Apple's newest smartphone. This phone has a powerful Dual-core A5 processor, a built-in assistant called Siri, an 

8 MP camera with improved HD video recording and a new battery that suggests a longer talk time. From the people I've talked to everyone loves Siri as it is quite helpful and has a well designed interface. The only problem is that Apple is notorious for introducing a new product every few months so I would wait of the Iphone 5 to come out, but if you're looking for an easy to use device today and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon this might be the phone from you. This phone is available for At&t, Sprint and Verizon.

The Great Smartphone OS Shootout: Windows, Apple, and Android; What Should You get?

Now that smartphones are available for basically every provider, everyone wants to have the newest device with the latest operating system. Unfortunately, many people look at the phone's specifications before they look at the system it runs on. In my opinion, pretty much every "smartphone" produced this year has specs that will suit anyone's normal phone use and this is why choosing a phone with a comfortable OS is very important. Here is a simple guideline that will help you get started:

If you like Windows 7, you will most likely want a Windows Phone 7.

If you like Apple OS X Lion (or other versions), you will most likely want to get an Iphone 4 (or 3gs)

If you like Linux, you will most likely want an android phone.

To me it's as simple as that. Currently, both my laptops are dual booted with Windows 7 and Ubuntu but phone wise I chose a Samsung Focus and I am extremely satisfied.

Also, just something to remember if you don't have much experience with these computer operating systems is that Apple usually has a "locked" OS, which means you don't have many customization options. Windows gives you a little more freedom but not as much as Android systems.

If you have any questions I will be more than willing to give my 2 cents just write a comment.

Samsung Droid Charge

The Samsung Droid Charge has some of the best specifications of any smartphone to date, which is why this phone will be the new industry standard. To begin, this phone has a HUGE crystal-clear display. It's 4.3 super AMOLED Plus screen is one the of the best screens you can get for a phone and because it has an 8MP camera you can view your high resolution pictures in full detail. With up to 32GB of storage(2GB built in) you can storage all your favorite pictures and music no problem. It also has a fast processor, the newest Bluetooth technology, an addition 1.3MP front facing camera and supports flash so you the entire internet at your fingertips. In my opinion, if you are a Verizon customer this is a great option if you want a killer smartphone.

Apple Iphone 4

The Apple Iphone 4, a phone for all people regardless of age, experience or profession. This phone started the touchscreen revolution and continues to make a huge impact in the smart phone market. Even though its earlier generations lacked key features, the Iphone 4 takes the cake in the endless popularity contest of having the latest Apple product. The specifications of the phone are quite impressive with up to 32gb of memory, a 5MP camera, an incredibly clear almost unreal screen resolution along with every other amenity in the book. In my opinion, this phone is a great phone for someone just starting out in the smart phone world but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has experience. Another drawback is the price. If you already enjoy Apple products this phone is extremely recommended for you.

HTC Arrive

Just like the Samsung Focus, the HTC Arrive is another Windows Phone 7 device but what makes this phone better than the others is its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. My first Windows Mobile phone was a HTC Touch Pro2 which initially turned me into a HTC lover and we can see HTC is still making an impact in the newest smartphone markets. This phone offers superb battery life, screen quality and memory. It also has a 5MP camera and built-in GPS. For a Sprint customer looking for a new phone, this is the definite choice. Even if you're with another provider and your contract is up, maybe you should consider switching so you can get you're hands on this beastly smartphone.

Samsung Epic 4G

The Samsung Epic 4G. For the person who doesn't like the Windows or Apple platforms, this is clearly the best option. This phone boasts a huge 4-inch super AMOLED display and 16gb of storage(upgradeable to 32gb). With its speedy processor, it runs Android 2.1 without any hiccups so you won't have to worry about any "lag" or freezing. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone looking for an easy to use interface without losing any features you would otherwise get from the other "tech savvy" smartphones.

Apple Iphone 3GS

The Apple Iphone 3GS was the first phone from Apple that made an impression in my eyes. The predecessors in the Iphone family lacked a fast processor, quality camera, significant memory and overall functionality. Everything that the 3G lacked, the 3GS made up for its older brothers imperfections. Especially now, with the 3GS only being $50, I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a smartphone that is very easy to use. What I think makes the 3GS a good phone is that people with little experience can operate this phone quite easily because of Apple's easy to use interface. I would honestly stay away from the Iphone 4 if you haven't owned a smartphone before simply because of the price difference and the exact same software is factory loaded on both phones, so you're not missing any of the new features of the newest Iphone.

Comming soon: The Iphone 4/5 news and the shootout between the Windows Phone 7 and IOS 4.

Samsung Focus, Windows Phone 7

I've been using a Samsung Focus for almost a year now and I have to say I'm never going back. I've always been a fan of the Windows mobile interface even back to 6.1 but this phone takes the cake.

One of my favorite features of this phone is the built in Zune player. I've never used the Zune media player before this phone and even though I don't like the Computer interface I think the phone's Zune player is far superior to the Apple Iphone's player. The Focus takes beautiful pictures with it's 5MP camera and battery last all day browsing the web, sending texts and taking pictures. I would suggest this phone to anyone looking into buying a smartphone and I promise you will not be disappointed.
