Although we've only done preliminary testing on this device, it doesn't take much time to conclude that the HTC Evo 4G LTE is a sleek and good-looking handset. Not only does it run on the latest Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, it also has a vivid screen and that familiar kickstand we adore.

Unlike its Verizon counterpart, the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is compatible with Google Wallet, which is neat. However, although it's a 4G LTE device, Sprint doesn't have its 4G network up, while Verizon does -- making this Nexus just an alluring 3G device for now.

 Defective Gorilla Glass on Droid Razr?
  There have been many instances of a Razr's glass breaking without the phone dropping, or with very short drops onto carpet. Verizon won't take ownership nor will Motorola, and both say they have never heard of the issue. Verizon is misleading consumers into thinking its new $300 device is tough, but it doesn't even hold up to normal use.
