One wining model is the highly rated Windows Phone HTC 8X for which HTC being a neighbor to Microsoft, does very well. For audio fans the Beats Audio adds quality to the sound of the smarpthone and is a nice feature for music enjoyment.

Today Google via its Android blog announced the Nexus 4, an unlocked pure Google Android 4.2 smartphone for $299 that will go on sale Tuesday, November 13.
Google with its release Nexus 4 by LG is the first super smartphone to offer buyers the freedom to choose a carrier without signing up for another two-year plan at a reasonable price.
We were wondering why Google decided to use LG to make its latest smartphone. Now we know why, Google with its Nexus 7 priced its tablet at the cheapest for the best specs when it was launched.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is being released today on T-Mobile and will launch on AT&T, Sprint and U.S. Cellular tomorrow.The latest video has more imagines than a John Lennon and Yoko Ono song.
The text of the latest Samsung Galaxy Note II video ends with "The next big thing is here" makes us confused we though the Samsung Galaxy S III was the next big thing....?
Here are all the imaginings of the video text(video follows):
There have been many comparisons of the Samsung Galaxy S III to the iPhone 5. Most comparisons, compare the features and the software of the Samsung Galaxy S III to the features and software functionality of the iPhone 5. Currently there is a trend of testing smartphones by attempting to destroy them. These methods of testing are not scientific but do generate a lot of YouTube viewers and revenue for video makers
