The LG Lotus and the Samsung Rant both debuted the Sprint One-Click software and thus are very similar. Both phones allow for streaming web apps on both the homescreen and carousel. Both phones can do a lot for a low price. Very sturdy, neither device break or malfunction easily. Excellent mid-priced feature phones.

(HTC Hero with Android by Google). Which "always connected to the network" smart phone is it gonna be, the Palm Pre or the HTC Hero? For my money it is the Hero. More apps, smoother OS, open source, more reliable. HTC and Android is a winning combination.

Why do I think the Palm Pixi is a MUCH better buy than it's older brother, the Palm Pre? One BIG reason - NO SLIDING! I've come to find that the more motion you put on a smart phone, the more trouble you seem to inherit. The Palm Pixi is a relatively inexpensive phone that does almost everything the Pre can without breaking as easily.
