Smartphone Rankings

A few additions to the SMARTPHONE RANKINGS matrix this week. Tis easily sortable by the core feature or function you are most interested in should you be in the market for a device.

HTC continues to make great Android smartphones. And Samsung continues to make devices almost as great and quality devices across all carriers. Though I still have doubts that any Android device will surpass iPhone 4. Ever.

One change: I gave a far higher "DESIRE" score on the Motorola Atrix. Apparently, I'm the only one that coveted the device. I reduced that score.

Also of note: An individual sought out Engadget's help in choosing an Android smartphone -- with a physical QWERTY keypad. That's not a bad idea. I do not, unfortunately, allow you to sort by keyboard or no. You can sort on DESIGN, however. Confession: I prefer full touchscreen. If not full touchscreen, it better have a keyboard as solid and usable as a Blackberry Bold, or possibly select Nokia devices. Half-assed touch/keyboard combos, I hate. You probably should know that I have such a bias.
