PC Magazine have published a review of the BlackBerry Torch 9810 (AT&T) smartphone. 'This Torch looks almost exactly the same as the previous Torch 9800. It's the same 4.4 by 2.4 by .6 inches (HWD) and the same 5.7 ounces, with the same silver edge around black plastic components. The back is now a flimsy-feeling black plastic with a checkered pattern, something I don't like. The QWERTY keyboard, just like on the previous Torch, is excellent, although it's a little flatter and tighter than the keyboards on BlackBerry Bolds and Curves. There's relatively little here to say "this is a new device," until you turn the phone on. Hit the wake-up button on the top right--the same place it used to be--and you're presented with a much sharper image on the 9810's 3.2-inch screen than on its predecessor's. The screen is now 640-by-480, rather than 360-by-480, allowing for sharper text, more detailed icons, and often teensy-weensy links on Web pages that you can't quite click on with your finger.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Pantech Crossover (AT&T) handset. 'The Pantech Crossover measures 4.5 by 2.3 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.2 ounces. Recent Pantech handsets are solidly constructed, and the Crossover is no exception. The chunky, dark grey plastic body feels good to hold. The cut edges lend some distinction to what could have been yet another indistinguishable touch-screen slider. Most manufacturers go to great lengths to hide screw heads, but I liked the two exposed ones on the back. The 3.1-inch display is a little cramped, but it gets the job done. Its 320-by-480-pixel resolution is standard for midrange Android devices, and the glass capacitive screen looked bright and vibrant. Touch response was a problem, though; the device missed many of my button presses and finger swipes.'

CNET have published a review of the HTC Freestyle (AT&T) phone. 'Since the Freestyle isn't a smartphone, you won't be blown away by its features, but it covers just about everything you'll need for basic communication. Each contact holds three phone number types, an e-mail address, a street address, a birthday, a notepad, and a URL. You can save callers to groups and you can pair individuals with a photo and one of 34 polyphonic ringtones. For more storage, the SIM card holds an additional 250 contacts. Other essentials include a calendar, text and multimedia messaging, a calculator, and an alarm clock. We were hoping for more basic options, like a task manager, a countdown timer, and a stopwatch, but they aren't onboard. As such, you'll need to download an equivalent app from AT&T's AppCenter. You'll also find Bluetooth, an airplane mode, GPS, PC syncing and USB mass storage, instant messaging, an FM radio, and access to AT&T Mobile E-mail.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Dell Venue (AT&T) Android phone. 'The Dell Venue measures 4.8 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs a hefty 5.8 ounces. It's made mostly of plastic, with thick chrome accent bands on the sides, a soft touch bumper on top, and a textured plastic back panel. I'm not sure why it's so heavy. The 4.1-inch, 480-by-800-pixel, Gorilla Glass AMOLED capacitive touch screen looked good, if not quite as sharp, next to the Super AMOLED screen of a Samsung Galaxy S 4G ($199, 4 stars) I had on hand. But the Venue's screen is slightly curved, and not as nice to touch as the one on the Galaxy S. There are only three function keys at the bottom; the usual Search key on Android phones is MIA.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Samsung Evergreen (AT&T) messaging phone. 'The Evergreen measures 4.6 by 2.2 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.5 ounces. It's made of glossy, somewhat cheap feeling plastic--possibly a consequence of the environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques. Regardless, it's a pretty big phone, with a roomy, four-row QWERTY keyboard and a 2.4-inch, 240-by-320-pixel display. The LCD is bright and colorful, and typing on the keyboard was suitably comfortable for extended periods. I particularly like Samsung's way of using all four rows for letters and punctuation instead of using a row for dedicated number keys, though that's admittedly a personal preference.'

CNET have published a review of the Motorola Flipside (AT&T) smartphone, 'With its silver-rimmed face and thick black body, the Flipside most closely resembles the Motorola Backflip. Instead of the Backflip's reverse flip design, however, the Flipside is a traditional slider. As for its looks, at best they're regulation: black and rectangular with today's seemingly obligatory rounded corners and a soft-touch back cover. There's very little style and no flourish. Instead you get a stocky phone that's 4.3 inches tall by 2.2 inches wide and 0.6 inch thick, and a hefty 5.1 ounces. The keyboard contributes much density, sure, but we've still seen slimmer slider models. Although the Flipside feels rather blocky in the hand, it fits just fine on the ear.'

CNET have published a review of the Samsung Solstice II SGH-A817 (AT&T) touchscreen handset. 'The Solstice II varies from its namesake very little. It's black and silver with rounded corners and measures 4.3 inches tall by 2.1 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick. The Solstice feels solid at 3.4 ounces, yet it's fairly slim and compact, so it's easy to tote around. As with the previous model, we weren't wowed by the Solstice II's looks, but it isn't ugly. We take no issue with the handset's curved lines, although the dimpled, matte silver bezel lacks a premium feel. The Solstice II's soft-touch finish keeps the back cover from getting smudged, but we still prefer the classier look and feel of the original model's leatherette backing.'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the HTC Surround (AT&T) Windows Phone 7 handset. 'The Surround weighs a hefty 5.8 ounces and measures 4.7 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches. The phone feels well-crafted, with hard black plastic on the back and aluminum accents on the sides. The bottom half of the phone slides out a half-inch to reveal the silver speaker grille, which is perforated with tiny holes. Several people we showed the phone to were perplexed that the speaker didn't extend further. "That's all there is?" was a common reaction. A solid metal kickstand is on the opposite side of the phone so you can prop up the device on a table or desk. The top of the Surround has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a sleep/power button, the right side has a volume rocker and a dedicated camera button, and the bottom has a microUSB charging port.'
