new mobile phones

We get a head start on 2010 and take our picks for the best cell phones so far this year.

It’s a new year with new things to look forward to—new haircuts, new styles and even some new cell phones. The top cell phones for 2010 are actually not as new as one would have thought. Although many Verizon customers are loving their new Android-powered Droid smartphone from Motorola, the cell phone kingdom is still dominated by Apple’s iPhone. This may change in time—especially at the rate handset manufacturers are pumping out smartphones with Android operating systems—but it also could grow, like if other carriers were allowed to pick up the iPhone. Rumors that AT&T will be losing iPhone exclusivity have been circulating for months; and while this is just mobile gossip, we do wonder how many Droid holders would drop their cyborg-handset to pick up Apple’s sleek smartphone.

The year is still young, so we’re not going to give into any uncertainties just yet.  It looks like there are a couple of exciting new mobile devices to appear this year, as well as some cameos from our former favorites. Check out our picks for the top 2010 cells phones—so far.
