The Best Smartphones Today

What was once a novelty has now become an essential. Almost everyone carries a mobile phone these days. While that is nothing new, perhaps the trend toward carrying "everything but the kitchen sink? in a pocket or purse is a more recent development. While many still carry a phone that simply calls or text messages, the smartphone is becoming more common. With the constant updating of electronics and technology, it is mind-boggling to consider that the portable phone was a new invention only a few short decades ago. However, consumers are looking for the best mobile phone available today to fit their needs. Here are a few of the top choices: Verizon Wireless has the nicest looking phone this year. The Motorola Droid Razr has a slim, lightweight design that is very attractive. It boasts top speeds and government grade security, making it one of the top Android smartphones this year. The most innovative phone available is Apple's iPhone 4S. While the design has not changed from the last model, new features such as a voice activated personal assistant known as Siri and a quality camera make it a popular choice. BlackBerry fans are cheering for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 4G this year. It's clear display and fast processor will keep it in the game for avid fans. Many reviewers say it is the best BlackBerry device yet. The HTC ThunderBolt is taking the market by storm with its lightning speed. This lower-priced smartphone is best for video viewing due to its large, wide-screen. Its fast web browsing capabilities outweigh the tendency of the battery to drain quickly. Electronics and technology will continue to evolve. However, these models are among the cream of the crop available to consumers today. While it seems everyone is carrying a cell phone, one of these models may just put a consumer a notch above the rest.
