Smartphones is the next generation of cellphones. Being an affective combination of a mobile and a PDA, this hybrid doesn’t disappoint in either department. If your primary use for your phone is organization, emailing, or just calls, you can have it all with a smartphone.

The Apple iPhone is the best example of a smartphone, having all the features of connectivity and organization, while performing impressively in all aspects. But Apple isn’t the only one that has perfected the smartphone. The HTC Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile is also powerful in messaging, voice capabilities, and has an elegant user interface. It also comes at a price, being targeted at T-Mobiles business professionals. The top two phones are of course the top two most expensive.

But at a more affordable price, there are other options. When talking smartphone, you can’t forget BlackBerry. Their Tour 9630 from Verizon Wireless is a top competitor with its sleek design and performance. It’s also aimed for both business users and messaging junkies. And at a similar price with similar features, the Palm Pre from Sprint also has a lot to offer. With it’s own OS developed by Palm, it competes with efficiency and accessibility. They are both priced at $149.99.
