  5. 5 Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD
Apple's iPhone 5 features an attractive hardware design as well as 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon here in the U.S. While iOS itself is starting to show its age compared to other platforms out there, the quality of apps available to users on iOS is high. Next up is the HTC One X, whose design I'm a big fan of. (Especially when... - read on...

My rankings didn't change this week, because, well, nothing new of significant interest was released. The iPhone 5 is still the best consumer device.

Motorola is really going in the right... - read on...

I've spent a little more time with the Note II this past week, and each time I see it, I'm more impressed. I still think the iPhone 5 as a whole package (hardware/software/ecosystem) is the best overall experience for the average consumer, but, Samsung has clearly nailed a little niche in the market. The 'phablet' offers something entirely unique... - read on...
