Verizon's Red Army

Verizon is bringing major power to its smartphone lineup with FOUR new smartphones. The LTE LG Revolution is a fairly run-of-the-mill (not that revolutionary) single core smartphone for $250. The previously reviewed Droid X2's dual cores and qHD (960x540) display is available for just $200, though you sacrifice LTE. The last android handset is the Sony Xperia Play, with its gamepads and playstation certifications at $200. The first Windows Phone 7 device is now on Verizon, known as the HTC Trophy which packs a nice package neatly tucked into a 3.8" screen size at just $150.

Droid X2 Now Available

The beastliest of the Droids just got a sibling. The Droid X2 gets an extra 1GHz core to compete with the other recent dual core beasts. The screen also gets an upgrade to qHD (960x540) from WVGA (800x480) but stays at a generous 4.3 inches. The same 8MPX camera hump also remains. The general design seems to be more or less the same, however, leading us to gravitate towards saying the Droid X2 seems to be more of a refresh than a true sequel. Another strange oversight seems to be the lack of LTE. Take the "X2" moniker as two cores (Like the G2X), not as a sequel to the Droid X. Nonetheless, the Motorola tainted Froyo packing X2 is available from Verizon for $200, same as before.

Droid Charge

Verizon's second LTE phone is now available. The Droid Charge is a worthy entry in Verizon's ever expanding Android portfolio. It is also a worthy competitor to break the HTC Thunderbolt's LTE monopoly.

BlackBerry Playbook

The BlackBerry Playbook is now available. The dual core 1GHz businesses minded tablet matches both the iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom in brawn but is a 7-incher as opposed to the more popular 10-inch form factor. The Playbook sports a commanding, sophisticated shell that reeks of enterprise and makes you wonder what the word "play" is doing in its name.
