Unlocking the AT&T iPhone
After many years of keeping the handset on lockdown, AT&T announced that iPhone users on its network can unlock their device. Assuming customers meet certain requirements of course (they must be in good standing, they need to fulfill their contract term, etc.), AT&T iPhone users can make the jump to a few other carriers without the need for a jailbreak.

HTC Titan II (AT&T)
The HTC Titan II is definitely a giant in more ways than one. It has a generous 4.7-inch screen, runs on AT&T's 4G LTE network, and has the highest-resolution camera available in the U.S. for a phone. But users have to pay a pretty penny, since it costs a lot more than other Windows Phone devices on the market.

Despite it not running Android ICS, its mediocre speaker quality, and its bloatware, the LG Lucid by Verizon is a solid 4G LTE device. Its camera is great, the 1.2GHz processor is snappy, and it has a reasonable price, making it a clear midrange contender.

The Pantech Hotshot is a feature phone with a touch-screen display. Although it's neat that it looks like a smartphone, the screen is not responsive, making the simplest of tasks, like texting and swiping, a pain.

 iPhone 4S or Droid Razr Maxx?
  My husband has an HTC Thunderbolt and I have an HTC Rezound. We are not particularly happy with either and are ready to change. We've always had the Droid smartphones and never had an iPhone, although we have played with them and know their basic use. I need help deciding between the Maxx and the iPhone. Some things that are important to us are: Internet browsing, email, calender, appointments, pictures, a few apps, and music.  Read full quote
