HTC Rezound — The first smartphone to launch in the US with a 720p display, not to mention HTC’s brand-spanking new Beats Audio branding, this LTE monster packs a punch in every department. Running HTC’s latest version of Sense, this is perhaps the most technologically advanced Gingerbread smartphone on the market. While not the slimmest on the runway, this smartphone is still a great buy, coming with some fist-pumping earbuds sure to please any ear. $299
Motorola DROID Razr — I’d be remiss in a holiday smartphone shopping guide if I neglected to mention the much hyped Droid RAZR. Its brilliant Kevlar and stainless steel design allows the Droid RAZR to be the slimmest smartphone ever at a svelte .28 inches. A Super AMOLED Advanced qHD display, 1.2 GHz dual core processor, and 1 GB of RAM coupled with Motorola’s handy new Smart Actions to save battery life make this a top choice as a gift for your favorite Droid fan. $299
Pantech Breakout — The best LTE smartphone in the low budget range, the Breakout is a breath of fresh air in an arena of huge superphone with beastly specs. Made more for the average consumer on a budget who wants LTE, the Breakout pleases without breaking the bank. A 4 inch WVGA screen, 512MB RAM, and a potent 1 Ghz processor round out the midrange specs of this surprisingly excellent smartphone. $99
Samsung Galaxy Nexus — While not officially released (at least of this writing), the Galaxy Nexus marks a tremendous step for Google and Android. The first phone with Google’s revolutionary new operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich comes with a gorgeous 720p Super AMOLED display. Top of the line specs also grace this smartphone, but it’s really Ice Cream Sandwich and that 720p display that make the Galaxy Nexus so mouthwatering. -$199/$299?
