The Best Smartphones

We can geek out all we want, but the best way to choose is a phone is not just by the hardware or the OS, but the phone and the carrier. Here's the smartphone to pick on each...for now.

• Best AT&T Phone: Apple iPhone 4 (June 7th, 2010) And for those of you who want to venture into Windows Phone 7 turf, we now recommend the Samsung Focus. Want an Android? Then the Motorola Atrix is for you. (Feb 22, 2011)

• Best Sprint Phone: HTC Evo (June 3, 2010)

• Best T-Mobile Phone: The Tegra 2-packing G2X (unless you still want a keyboard, then it's still the T-Mobile G2). (Mar 22, 2011)

• Best Verizon Phone: iPhone 4 (Jan. 11, 2011)
