Product name	Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman	HTC Hero	Sony Ericsson Satio	Nokia N900
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.6 Excellent	8 Excellent	8 Excellent	6.7 Very good
Review Summary	The Sony Ericsson W850i offers the great performance and high-end features we've come to expect from the company's Walkman phones, but its usability is hampered by unintuitive controls.	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.
