It’s Sony Ericsson’s first entry into the Android marketplace here in the United States, and they weren’t fooling around when doing so. If your brain can remember, but last year SE showed us all the first 1GHz Snapdragon in an Android smartphone: the XPERIA X10. But with a release delayed by nearly a year, tons of other Androids took the lead in the Snapdragon race. Here, I tested, annoyed, scrutinized, and tortured the AT&T Xperia X10 for the two weeks I’ve had this loaner.
That could only mean the 13-Year-Old Gadget Blogger’s take on it is after the break.

The Micro Four Thirds category of cameras, essentially taking the power and photo-taking ability of a 2 pound DSLR and cramming into the size of a point-and-shoot camera, albeit with the same lens size. In the Panasonic Lumix G10′s case, its size is more mini-DSLR than Micro Four Thirds (i.e Olympus E-PL1 or Sony NEX-3) but honestly, for $600 bucks, who cares!? Read on, because the G10 is more than a solid digital camera. It’s awesome.

With contenders like Google Maps Navigation, most navigation apps used on smartphones like the iPhone are utterly blown away. Nokia on the other hand, so far is the only manufacturer with a navigation system on par or a little better than Google Maps. The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is actually a 5800 XpressMusic, which in turn was pretty much was a music player. The main difference between the two is that this, as according to its name, is a navigation phone that can be used on either T-Mobile or AT&T networks. Check out our thoughts after the cut.

Let’s start this off in a straightforward style. The Samsung Omnia II is a 3.7-inch 480×800 AMOLED resistive touchscreen smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.5, a 5 megapixel camera with 720x480px video capture, 8GB of internal storage with a microSD expansion slot, GPS/Wi-Fi/Verizon 3G, and FM radio. Right off the bat though — exactly when you turn it on — things start to go wrong.

By far one of the cheapest cameras around, the FH1 is a 12-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with an HD video mode. It retails with a MSRP of $159.95, so that’s probably one of the closest rock-bottom prices you’ll find for a camera. Despite the cheap price, extremely modest looks, and of course the branding, the FH1 isn’t the type of digital camera you can mess around with in modern times: 5x optical zoom, a 28mm wide-angle lens, High Speed Auto Focus, HD video recording, Optical Image Stabilization, and an ISO range of up to 1600. Does it take great pictures? Read on to find out.

Remember the T-Mobile G1? The very first Android phone? Remember that it has no sense of style and nearly no battery? Well, if you don’t, let me refresh your mind. With talk of the “Official” Google Phone right now, aka the “Nexus One”, it is probably good policy to give a review of the phone that’s closet to being the official Google Phone. I’ll be dividing the review into a few important categories so it’s easy to read and understand. Check it out after the jump.

The Samsung Behold II is a disappointing smartphone. From the looks, buttons, interface, and even the screen, the Behold II needs tons of improvements. And it was this close to being a great contender against Android phones like the Droid and HTC Hero. It’s talent wasted.
