    Re: Windows Mobile Devices by Carrier - from Pocketnow

    Agreed - this is a really fantastic resource. I created a condensed version of Brandon's full listing so we could have the basics here, but his deluxe version is definitely worth a look.

     Verizon Wireless

    - Samsung Omnia -

    Overall Take: The Omnia on Verizon is a great device for those who want an iPhone-like form factor with the power of Windows Mobile. It does a great job with multimedia and has plenty of built-in storage, has a terrific camera, utilizes a widget-based interface, and does automatic screen rotation in any screen. The business user may not appreciate the lack of keyboard and inbuilt stylus. Right now it can be had for $249.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Samsung Saga -

    Overall Take: The Saga on Verizon, which is the CDMA version of the Samsung SGH-i780, is a good choice for those that prefer a candy-bar style QWERTY keyboard device that provides excellent one-handed usability. It has no user interface enhancement, so it may disappoint those looking for a unique visual experience. Right now it can be had for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Motorola Q9c/m -

    Overall Take: The Motorola Q9c on Verizon is an older device, so it doesn't bring anything unique or innovative to the table. That said, many consider the keyboard on the Q9c to be top-notch, and one-handed usability to be great. This is a good phone for messaging-centric users who don't need something flashy. Right now it can be had for $149.99 on a 2-year contract.

    - HTC Touch Pro-

    Overall Take: The HTC Touch Pro on Verizon, although not having as much RAM as Touch Pros on other carriers, is a device for the power-user who wants a great keyboard, a high resolution screen, excellent web browsing, and robust messaging. This is also a good phone for the multimedia user. Right now it can be had for $349.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    T-Mobile

    - T-Mobile Shadow-

    Overall Take: The T-Mobile Shadow is an older device but continues to be a favorite among Sidekick users that want to get into using Smartphones. The site AllShadow.com has become a resource for Shadow users that want to tweak and modify their device. The Shadow II is expected out sometime in early 2009. A Shadow can be had for just $49.99 on a 2-year agreement.

     

    - T-Mobile Dash -

    Overall Take: The T-Mobile Dash is an older device but continues to be a favorite among those looking for a good phone with messaging capabilities and a fantastic hardware keyboard, plus slick form factor. The Dash can be had for $99.99 with a 2-year contract.

     

    - T-Mobile Wing-

    Overall Take: The T-Mobile Wing is an older device that should probably be pulled from T-Mobile's product line. Its slow processor and lack of RAM makes the device feel slow and cumbersome to use, especially for power users. Even its great keyboard cannot make up for the hardware shortfalls. The Wing is priced high at $299.99 with a 2-year agreement.

     

    AT&T Wireless

    - Samsung Epix -

    Overall Take: The Samsung Epix is the US version of the Samsung SGH-i780. The Epix is perfect for those seeking the best in one-handed usability and programmable hardware key options. With the square-aspect screen, it's not the best multimedia phone. Right now it can be had for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - LG Incite -

    Overall Take: The LG Incite is LG's first smartphone in the US. Although it includes many features of higher end smartphones like FM Radio and an accelerometer, issues with build quality and performance keep us from recommending it. Right now it can be had for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Samsung BlackJack II -

    Overall Take: The BlackJack II, an older device, is essentially an Epix but without a touchscreen and is a favorite among young people who want a good phone for text messaging and basic email. The BlackJack is a basic device with good one-handed usability, and the price is low. Right now it can be had for $49.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Moto Q Global-

    Overall Take: The Motorola Q Global is an older device and is similar to the BlackJack in that it's a basic device, best suited towards text messaging and emailing. Some consider this device to have one of the best keyboards of all time. Right now it can be had for $99.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - HTC Fuze -

    Overall Take: The HTC Fuze on AT&T is a device for the power-user who wants a great keyboard and a fantastic user interface, plus robust messaging. This is also a good phone for the multimedia user. Right now it can be had for $399.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Tilt -

    Overall Take: Based off of the HTC TyTN II, the Tilt is an older device from AT&T, but has been a favorite among power users for quite some time with its great performance, robust feature set, and innovative tilting screen. The Fuze is replacing this device, though with a price that is half its successor, the Tilt still may be a good option for those looking for a capable and trusted smartphone on AT&T, and can be had for $199.99 with a 2-year agreement.

     

    - Pantech Duo -

    Overall Take: The Pantech Duo is an older device, and rumor has it that it will soon be replaced by a new version. The Duo is a very entry-level Window Mobile device that may be good for young users who want a good text messaging phone. It can be had for $79.99 with a 2-year agreement.

     


    Sprint

    - Moto Q 9c -

    Overall Take: The Motorola Q 9c on Sprint is an older device that is virtually identical to the Verizon Q9c, save for a few visual cues, and it doesn't bring anything unique or innovative to the table. That said, many consider the keyboard on the Q9c to be top-notch, and one-handed usability to be great. This is a good phone for messaging-centric users who don't need something flashy. Right now it can be had for $99.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Samsung Ace -

    Overall Take: The Samsung Ace, another older device, is similar to the BlackJack II on AT&T. The Ace is a basic device with good one-handed usability. Right now it can be had for $99.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - HTC Touch Diamond -

    Overall Take: The Sprint HTC Touch Diamond is slightly changed from the original Touch Diamond, which is now a benchmark Windows Mobile phone. In combines terrific styling and robust power, which should satisfy the most demanding power user. The lack of programmable hardware buttons and keyboard may makes it not the ideal business device. Right now it can be had for $299.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - HTC Touch Pro -

    Overall Take: The Touch Pro on Sprint is a device for the power-user who wants a great keyboard and a fantastic user interface. This is also a good phone for the multimedia user. Right now it can be had for $399.99 on a 2-year contract.

     

    - Palm Treo 800w -

    Overall Take: The Sprint Treo 800w is a solid device for those wanting top-notch one-handed usability, fantastic performance, and above-average ease of use. Right now it can be had for $249.99 on a 2-year contract.
