TOUCH TABLET and CELL PHONE

Four years later, though, there's no shortage of innovative, easy-to-use touch-screen-only smartphones, so we've picked the top models on each major carrier, along with the best unlocked phone. If you're looking for phone with a hardware keyboard, you won't find it here. (Though we've rounded up the Best Phones With Keyboards, too.) But if you're willing to say farewell to the physical keyboard for good, look no further than our favorite touch-screen phones.

Touch-Screen Phones Included in this Roundup
AT&T
Apple iPhone 4

Apple's iPhone 4 adds a gorgeous screen, a terrific camera, and a faster processor to add to the already-awesome iPhone app experience, but voice calling still isn't this phone's priority.

HTC Inspire 4G

The HTC Inspire 4G, AT&T's premiere Android phone (at least for now) can hold its own against the iPhone 4 and other top smartphones.


Motorola Atrix 4G

Motorola's Atrix 4G, the unique bleeding-edge superphone that can transform itself into a PC, shows how we'll likely be using our mobile devices in the year 2020. But to get a taste of the future, you'll have to pay, and deal with some bugs along the way.


SPRINT
HTC EVO 4G

If you live online, the EVO offers a big, beautiful, and powerful window to the world. The first WiMAX phone in the U.S. is a terrific platform for streaming media and Web browsing, and it gets your laptop online with Sprint's 4G network.


T-MOBILE
T-Mobile G2x With Google

The loaded T-Mobile G2x with Google is the fastest, smoothest Android smartphone available today.

HTC Sensation 4G

The touch-screen, Android-based HTC Sensation is T-Mobile's biggest and best smartphone yet.



VERIZON WIRELESS
Motorola Droid X

Motorola Droid X takes the crown for the most powerful Android smartphone away from the HTC Droid Incredible. The huge 4.3-inch, 854-by-480 screen makes maneuvering the phone's excellent interface with your finger a breeze.

HTC Thunderbolt

The HTC Thunderbolt, the first 4G LTE smartphone for Verizon Wireless, has the fastest Web speeds we've ever seen, but be prepared to carry an extra battery.


Samsung Droid Charge

The Samsung Droid Charge skips the HTC Thunderbolt's Sense UI layer in favor of lighter weight and a better camera; both are killer handsets, as long as you don't need great battery life.


UNLOCKED
Samsung Galaxy S II

The top-of-the heap unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II delivers in almost every way. Thing is, it's so expensive, it almost prices itself out of the market.
