1. HTC Sensation 4G
T-Mobile
2. HTC EVO 3D
HTC
3. Apple iPhone 4
Apple
The iPhone 4 is not without its problems -- yes, we've heard about those pesky antenna issues. But it remains one of the best smartphones around, thanks to its gorgeous display, elegant design, and incredible ease of use. And its even better now that you have a choice of carriers.
4. HTC Thunderbolt
HTC
The HTC Thunderbolt was Verizon's first 4G smartphone and it remains the carrier's best high-speed option. But the Thunderbolt delivers more than just speedy data access: it also offers a big, bright 4.3-inch touch screen, excellent call quality, and a top-notch camera.
5. T-Mobile G2x with Google
T-Mobile
T-Mobile's G2x with Google is big and beautiful, featuring a 4-inch touch screen and a slim, sleek design. But it's more than a pretty face: on the inside, the G2x offers support for T-Mobile's 4G network, Google's Android OS, and an 8-megapixel camera.
6. Samsung Droid Charge
Samsung
If you like speed, you'll love Samsung's Droid Charge. This smartphone takes full advantage of Verizon's speedy 4G LTE network, while also offering a top-notch camera and a big, bright Super AMOLED touch screen.
7. Motorola Atrix 4G
Motorola
No, that's not a computer you see pictured here. It's the Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone, paired with an accessory dock which turns the phone into a computer of sorts. But even on its own, the Atrix 4G is impressive. It features a dual-core processor, a big qHD display, and a 5-megapixel camera. It runs on AT&T's network.
8. T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide
T-Mobile
With its big screen, slide-out keyboard, and solid construction, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide is not a petite phone. But it is a powerful one, running the latest version of Google's Android OS and featuring a dual-core processor. The myTouch 4G Slide also packs in one of the most powerful cameras seen on a smartphone so far.
9. Samsung Epic 4G
Samsung
The Samsung Epic 4G is not the newest phone on this list; in fact, it debuted while some of its rivals were still designs on a drawing board. But the Epic 4G remains one of today's best smartphones thanks to its excellent design, 4G support, and a top-notch camera.
10. HTC Arrive
Sprint
Handsets running Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 software haven't exactly made waves in the smartphone market. But that doesn't mean you should overlook them -- especially if you're considering the HTC Arrive. This phone features a solid design, a great keyboard, and is easy to use. It lacks support for Sprint's 4G network, but if you can live without that, you'll appreciate what the HTC Arrive has to offer.
