Sprint used to be known for its solid, if less-than-flashy, lineup of phones. But the carriers has shed that staid image in recent years, as it was the first carrier in the U.S. to launch a super-speedy 4G network. And Sprint continues to add cutting-edge smartphones to its lineup, making it an excellent option for gadget junkies and businessmen alike.

3D technology is cool, but 3D glasses are not. Luckily, the HTC EVO 3D lets you capture and view 3D images and videos, but doesn't require those pesky cardboard glasses. This smartphone also offers the Android OS, support for Sprint's 4G network, and mobile hotspot capability.

If you love smartphones with big, bright touchscreens, but can't do without the convenience of a hardware keyboard, you'll love what the Samsung Epic 4G has to offer. It features a slide-out keyboard for easy typing, as well as the Android OS and support for Sprint's 4G network.

Samsung Nexus S 4G
Samsung's Nexus s 4G is also called the Google Nexus S 4G, and this phone certainly takes advantage of its tight Google integration. It features Android 2.3, the latest version of Google's OS, as well as 3D maps and the Google Voice app built in.
