Samsung SGH-i550W compared to the most popular

Compare to top rated mobile phones »

Product name	Samsung SGH-i550W	HTC Hero	Sony Ericsson Xperia X10	Nokia N900
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.4 Very good	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	6.7 Very good
Review Summary	The SGH-i550W has several things going for it, including a strong feature set matched with an attractive price and bundled accessories. But the implementation of both the software and hardware (trackball) has room for improvement.	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.	More info	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.
