Top 5 Android Phones


#1. HTC Droid Incredible
To me this is the obvious choice, but I know some of you will not agree. This phone has it all. Anroid 2.1, an 8 MP digital camera with auto focus, and a 2x power led flash.




This is the first 4G cell phone in America. It has a 4.3 inch display with pinch and zoom. It has the same 1GHz Snapdragon processor as the Incredible. It also has the same 8 MP camera. It is also equipped with an HDMI port so you can view video on any HDTV. There are however, several issues with it. Battery life being the biggest. The battery will not last all day when using 4G. Sprint and HTC are working these issues out and have fixed a lot of them.



This is the only phone bearing the Google name. It has Android 2.2, which is the latest update. But, it only has a 5MP camera and is only available for T-Mobile.





This phone is the latest in the My Touch line for T-Mobile. It is the first to feature a slide out QWERTY keyboard and Android 2.2. It also has SWYPE, the system that allows you to type without lifting your finger from the touch screen. It also has an improved battery that lasts for up to 7 hours of talk time. 



#5. Motorola Droid
The original Android phone, the Droid was the top gadget of 2009, according to Time.com. It has Android 2.0. It's a touch screen with a QWERTY slider. It has a 5MP camera with auto stabilization, flash, and zoom with editing abilities.

AT&T is the First to Blink

It seems all of the cellular carriers have been playing a game of chicken with their unlimited data plans. They have all been trying to one up each other for some time now. But, AT&T has announced that they will no longer offer an unlimited data plan to new subscribers. So now rather than having an unlimited plan for $30 per month, consumers must choose between a 200MB plan for $15 per month or a 2GB plan for $25 per month. Only very heavy users should actually need the 2GB plan, making this a good deal for those users who have had an unlimited plan but used less than 200MB every month. These people will now be paying half their previous bill.
