With its whopping 5-inch screen, this phone/tablet hybrid (or "phablet") is sure to turn heads. The Vu is an Android Gingerbread handset that's NFC-enabled and comes with a Rubberdium stylus. It also has an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a note-taking app called QuickMemo.

The 4G LTE-enabled Sony Xperia Ion impressed us with its reliable call quality and quick data speeds. However, its disappointing 12-megapixel camera and outdated OS may make users think twice about purchasing this $100 device.

The Transformer Pad Infinity already nabbed our CNET Editors' Choice Award and it's easy to see why. Its high resolution, fast processor, and rear-facing camera are some of the best we've seen in any Android tablet.

As Samsung's heavy hitter, the Galaxy S3 is jam-packed with features like Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE capabilities, a swift dual-core CPU, and an impressive 8-megapixel camera. Though S Voice and the dim screen are a little disappointing, the smartphone's overall high performance isn't.

Using its eyebrow-raising quad-core processor, the 4X HD's internal speeds are zippy. Launching applications and running graphics-heavy games is a breeze, and its 8-megapixel camera's shutter speeds are lightning quick. In addition, it has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and NFC capabilities.

 Looking for a good 'dumb' phone
  I have T-Mobile and I'm looking for a good dumb phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi calling capabilities if possible. If Wi-Fi calling isn't available, then something with really good signal and call quality will work. Can someone suggest a couple for me to choose from? I need a new phone badly.  Read full quote
