  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...

A little bit of a mixup this week but the list of the most part looks the same as the iPhone 5 takes the top spot yet again.

As you can see, my rankings were switched up a little this week. The iPhone 5 still sits atop my list as it is the best package. You get tremendous software with iOS 6, a flawlessly built device with its new metal back, and the best ecosystem with the integration it provides with Apple's OS X. The Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD is still in 2nd. I... - read on...

My choices haven't change for a while, but for good reason. As far as I can see, there's nothing on the market that comes close to challenging my top 5 in terms of design, quality, performance and ecosystem. As far as I'm concerned, Apple still leads the hardware and software integration race. And it's not just the seamless nature of the... - read on...
