Review Summary

The DV1 makes a handy traveling companion, particularly for those into image/video recording and music playback. However, everyday mobile phone users may find it hard to compromise on the extra bulk and not-so-intuitive user interface.

A combination of good design and a fully customizable user interface make the Hero a great smartphone. A boon for the Android platform still in its infancy.

The Satio delivers great pictures and comes with many high-end features, but the inconsistent user interface of the platform mars the overall experience of the device.

There are a lot of things we like about the N900, but just as many which annoy us. That said, it's still a very capable smartphone (if you call it that), but just not ready for primetime, yet.
