ARTICLE: Top 5: Aaron's Fave Five on Verizon - September 2, 2009

9/2/2009 3:00:00 PM

Motivated by the creative comments from our last "Top Five" segment, the idea of creating a new top five list seemed quite appealing (okay, Noah's top five lists were a deciding factor too - always good to have friendly competition, right?). But why stop at a top five phone list? Instead, why not make it carrier based? Wireless devices can differ dramatically from carrier to carrier, so, realizing the importance of this; I decided to follow suit, and do a list for each company.

In this industry, new devices seem to launch every other day, so keep the date of this article in mind when you're reading this around, say, Christmas. I'm sure the list will look outdated by then.

More Top 5 lists:

Noah: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile

Aaron: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile

1. BlackBerry Tour
Given all of the phones in Verizon's lineup at present, the Tour is the first device I would choose to carry. If this was going to press after the Touch Pro2 landed, it would be a tough call, but as of now, the Tour's 3.2-megapixel camera, gorgeous screen, BlackBerry OS 4.7, and good keyboard make it the best choice for now. Throw in Wi-Fi, and it would be next to perfect.

2. HTC Touch Pro
Though the upgrade is right around the corner, the Touch Pro is a feature-rich Windows Mobile smartphone, worthy of consideration by anyone desiring a good PDA. The Touch Pro offers a 2.8-inch display, QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi (b/g), 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot capable of supporting a 16 GB card. With the recent price drop (most likely to make way for the Touch Pro2), it's earned a spot on the list.

3. BlackBerry Storm
Though I'm a die-hard BlackBerry fan, the Storm is not anywhere near my personal list of favorite devices. That being said, I recognize the importance of this device in BlackBerry's lineup, and due to the popularity surrounding the media-centric 'Berry (or criticism, depending on who you talk to), I feel that it needs to be included. Love it or hate it, with a large touchscreen, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an emphasis on all things media, the Storm is Verizon's answer to the iPhone.

4. LG enV3
The LG enV3 is quite possibly the best dumbphone out there, in my opinion. The device offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 3-megapixel camera, and a full HTML web browser. Great for all customer demographics (hey, I recommended the device to my Grandmother and Mother, and they both purchased it), the enV3 packs a lot of features into a small device. As long as you don't need a smartphone browsing experience or near-instant e-mail, it's a great companion.

5. Samsung Alias 2
Featuring "E-ink technology" which customizes the keyboard depending on what you're doing on the device, the Alias 2 is a great phone, and represents a huge improvement over its predecessor. It sports a 2.6-inch QVGA screen, 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, Visual Voicemail, microSD card slot with support for up to 16 GB. It's a great device, and as of now, can be had for under $100.

Honorable Mention: LG enV Touch - Neat phone, unimpressive touchscreen; Motorola Rapture - Good all around device with strong reception.

7/27/2009 5:40:00 PM

1. LG enV Touch - Verizon

The successor to the popular LG Voyager has so much going for it, it really blurs the line between "feature phone" and "smartphone." Featuring a 3.5mm headphone jack, a more responsive touchscreen and nicer UI than Voyager, and Web browser that's arguably better than the ones found on many smartphones, enV Touch just about does it all. If you can live without WiFi and smartphone-style PC syncing, enV Touch brings solid messaging, Web, and multimedia experiences to a relatively thin form factor featuring a top-notch QWERTY board. Just keep an eye on that battery life if you're tweeting and listening to music all day long on your enV Touch.

1a. LG enV3 - Verizon
Imagine enV Touch minus the touchscreen, with a somewhat lower-res display and less tricked out Web browser. Now imagine that with better battery life. Boom!: enV3.

2. Samsung Memoir (T-Mobile)

Memoir stands perched at the top of the cameraphone mountain right now, thanks to its combination of quality optics (for a phone) and a full feature set. While AT&T's new SE c905a matches Memoir in pixel count, Memoir's full touch interface, large display, and thinner, more pocketable form factor give it the edge. I wish phone companies would stop with the megapixel race already, as most cameraphone photos wind up being shared online, where 2 or 3 MPs more than suffice. But if you actually plan to print some of your photos and can't be bothered with carrying a separate camera, Memoir is well worth a look.

3. LG Lotus - Sprint

Lotus may or may not be a "girl's phone," but it doesn't matter - LG packed a ton of features and a very useable QWERTY board into the compact, somewhat oddly shaped Lotus, and it's a winner. With a full HTML browser, a bunch of messaging, media, and social networking features, and an external display with media controls. Lotus does just about everything a feature phone should. And that odd square shape provides ample room for a very comfy QWERTY thumbboard.

4. Samsung Impression - AT&T

While Impression's AT&T stablemate, the LG Xenon, may be a slightly better value, it's hard to argue with Impression's huge, glorious AMOLED display and roomy QWERTY thumbboard. While the display suffers in bright outdoor light, once you take it out of the sun it's spectacular. Samsung's featurephone Web browsers provide a full HTML experience, and that QWERTY is seriously roomy. If only Sammy would ditch the proprietary connectors in favor of USB and 3.5mm audio, already.

5. Nokia 5310 XpressMusic - T-Mobile

You might laugh, but the 5310 still gets a nod from me as one of the best non-smartphones out there. Why? It looks good, it's super thin, it gets great reception, and it's got a real headphone jack that makes it the ideal low-cost iPod replacement - or a great "second phone" for runners and other athletes to slip into a pocket for music and connectivity during workouts.

LG invited me to compete in the Bloggers' portion of this year's LG U.S. National Texting Championship. As most of you who watch my videos know, I don't exactly possess the world's fastest thumbs. So it should come as no surprise that I did not advance to the finals in New York City later this month.

But LG was kind enough to send me off with a "Thank You For Playing Parting Gift." And better yet, it's a present for you, not for me. LG hooked us up with a brand new enV3 for Verizon to giveaway to a PhoneDog Fan. I'm working on my full review of the enV3 right now, and so far it's a worthy successor to the enV 2 it replaces: Smaller and less calculator-looking (that's a good thing).

NOTE: I goofed when I first posted this entry. I thought we were getting an enV Touch, but we got an enV3 to give away instead. My bad. Don't complain - a free enV3 is better than a free piece of nothing, right? Thought so.
Maybe we'll throw the enV3 into the One-Pawed Bandit. Maybe we'll do something special with it. You'll have to wait and see ... but one way or another we'll be giving it away to one of you, courtesy of LG, and all because I'm a lame TXTr!
