Best 5 cell phones
Apple iPhone 3G S
The iPhone 3G S doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3G S is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
This product is available directly from AT&T, courtesy of CNET. Available June 19th.

LG enV Touch
The LG enV Touch is no ordinary messaging phone from Verizon Wireless. It has a brilliant touch-screen display on the outside, a similarly stunning display on the inside, and a spacious QWERTY keyboard that's easy to use. Its features aren't too shabby either, with a great 3.2-megapixel camera, a full HTML Web browser, lots of messaging features including corporate email, and it has the speed of EV-DO Rev. A. Despite a few minor gripes, it's still one of the top Verizon Wireless phones we've seen so far.
Price:$149.99 - $599.99 (check prices)

Palm Pre (Sprint)
Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.
Price:$199.99 - $199.99 (check prices)
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900
Despite the lack of 3G, we would absolutely recommend the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900. It's a solid device that will appeal to both consumers and mobile professionals, offering a nice balance between work and play and all wrapped up in a sweet little package.
Price:$149.99 - $649.99 (check prices)

Samsung Memoir
The Samsung Memoir is the highest-performing camera phone with a U.S. carrier. It definitely delivers in the photo quality department, with great photos and camera features that rival even those on a standalone shooter, and it offers direct uploads to online photo-sharing sites. Of course, the Memoir wouldn't be much of a phone if it didn't have other features, too. It comes with Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz interface, a full HTML browser, support for T-Mobile's 3G network, GPS, a music player, and more.
Price:$579.99 - $579.99 (check prices)
