Review Summary

The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

While it probably won't strike a chord with the average iPhone user, the Touch HD is a great effort from HTC, demonstrating that it can still put more into its already formidable range of high-end handsets.

The Samsung i8910 HD is ahead of its competition with HD video capture and may be the most advanced and feature-packed S60 smartphone in the market right now.

This smartphone is ideal for business professionals, thanks to the great conference call feature and good keyboard for typing. Unfortunately, there's the bulky form factor to put up with.

Though some may shun Windows Mobile because of other newer operating systems out there, there's no denying that the Omnia II presents great value-for-money compared with most other touchscreen smartphones.
