The Best Verizon Wireless Smartphones

Verizon's cellular network has always been well regarded, and the carrier made a splash when it launched its high-speed 4G LTE network in late 2010. As the first phone to support that network, the HTC's Thunderbolt made quite a splash, too. In addition to 4G support, the Thunderbolt also offers Android 2.2, a 4.3-inch touch screen, and 8-megapixel camera that can capture 720p HD video.

The HTC Thunderbolt may have been the first phone to support Verizon's 4G network, but it's not the only one. The Samsung Droid Charge runs on the high-speed network, too. Additional features include Android 2.2, a 1-GHz processor,  an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. You also get a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED touch screen and a Web browser that comes with support for Adobe Flash.

It had been rumored for years: the mythical Verizon iPhone. But it is a myth no longer. Verizon Wireless is now offering the iPhone, becoming the second carrier after AT&T to sell Apple's smartphone. That means you can combine the excellence of Apple's device with the reliability of Verizon's network.

The Droid Incredible was a tough act to follow, but the Droid Incredible 2 does a good job of living up to the standard set by its predecessor. This phone packs in a 4-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera that captures 720p HD video, and a 1-GHz processors. In fact, it's only shortcoming is its lack of support for Verizon's 4G network.

Like the Droid Incredible 2, Motorola's Droid X2 is missing one key feature: support for Verizon's 4G LTE network. If you can do without 4G speeds, you will find this phone has plenty to offer, including a big, bright display, a dual-core processor, and an 8-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash.
