Rating Smartphones on AT&T

This is just my Opinion, but this is how I see the current (and a few of the devices launching in the next couple of weeks) smartphones on at&t.


  1. Samsung Galaxy Note - Biggest, and Best display, Super Amoled Plus HD, S- Pen, Dual Core 1.5ghz processor, 8mp main camera, 2mp front facing camera, LTE compatibility, upgrading to Android 4.0 in the next couple of weeks.
  2. Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket - Basically a smaller version of the Note, without the S- Pen.  Also receiving Android 4.0 in the next couple of weeks.
  3. HTC One X - Should basically be a better, Faster Vivid, LTE  compatibility, Beats by Dre Audio. No expandable memory.
  4. HTC Vivid - Moved up in my rankings, thanks to being first at&t phone with Android 4.0,  LTE  compatibility, Beats by Dre Audio.
  5. iPhone 4s - Smooth and fast, but old design, and small screen 8mp main camera, vga front facing camera. Not LTE, but is HSPA+. Siri voice control is cool, but not much more useable than Vlingo or VoiceTalk on Android.
  6. LG Nitro - nice display, fast processor. Small internal memory compared to Galaxy and HTC phones. will move ahead of iPhone 4s when it receives Android 4.0
  7. Nokia Lumia 900 - The only Windows Phone in my top 10, LTE compatibility, 8mp Camera with Carl Zeiss optics is the best camera I have used. Unfortunately, WP7 is limited by a lack of good app development, and doesn't do anything significantly better than Android or iOS, to set itself apart.
  8. Pantech Burst - Nice Super Amoled display, fast dual core processor, LTE  compatibility, smaller screen than high end Android phones, but still significantly larger than iPhone 4s. 5mp camera is a step down from high end, also. But, at $49.99, is the best bang for your buck in the at&t smartphone lineup. 
  9. Samsung Captivate Glyde - No LTE compatability, but still HSPA+.  Super Amoled Plus display, slide out keyboard. Also slated for Android 4.0
  10. iPhone 4 - basically same as iPhone 4s, sans Siri, with only 5mp camera.

What do you think of my rankings? Which is your favorite, and why?
