Good: The LifeProof Armband/Swimband has an extremely comfortable fit and the case will keep your phone safe and dry.
Bad: The Armband is heavy, the case's headphone jack requires an adapter, and with the case the Armband costs a pricey $130.
Bottom Line: It's comfortable and built to last, but think carefully about the LifeProof Armband/Swimband's heft and prohibitively high cost. [Read more]

Good: The Samsung Intensity III has a durable design, reliable call quality, and a nifty "fake call" feature to help you escape awkward social situations.
Bad: The Intensity III has a few design flaws, isn't water-resistant, and gives poor photo quality.
Bottom Line: The low specs, flat keyboard, and unattractive look outweigh the Samsung Intensity III's rugged design and call simulator. [Read more]

Good: The HTC One V is affordable, compact, and elegant, and runs Android 4.0 and Sense 4. It has a nimble camera and colorful screen.
Bad: A slow processor and pokey 3G data hold the One V back.
Bottom Line: Demanding Android fans won't like the HTC One V's slow performance but its premium design and low, no-contract price makes it a steal on Virgin Mobile. [Read more]

Good: The Toshiba L7200U series LED TV has good video processing and its passive 3D system shows almost no crosstalk. The Web browser actually works fairly well, in part thanks to the included wireless QWERTY keyboard. The TV's well-stocked feature set also includes a unique program guide and cable box control, as well as four pairs of 3D glasses. Sleek external styling exudes plenty of high-end appeal.
Bad: Poor shadow detail and contrast in dark areas leads to disappointing image quality for such an expensive TV. Color accuracy wasn't up to the competition, and uniformity suffered from brighter edges and visible backlight structure. Passive 3D showed occasional artifacts and moving lines. The EPG and box control features are limited, and the Smart TV suite has less content than most.
Bottom Line: Toshiba's L7200U LED TV comes loaded with features, but mediocre picture quality makes its high price tough to stomach. [Read more]

Good: The Samsung WB850F is a feature-packed compact megazoom with a versatile lens, very good picture quality, and excellent Wi-Fi capabilities.
Bad: The WB850F's shooting performance is a bit mixed, its battery life is mediocre, and its interface, while very good, can take some time to learn.
Bottom Line: For snapshooters looking to enter the world of connected cameras, the 21x zoom Samsung WB850F is a good place to start. [Read more]

Good: The T-Mobile MyTouch Q has quick 4G data plus a physical keyboard. Its low $50 entry price is compelling. The phone provides good performance on a budget.
Bad: The T-Mobile MyTouch Q runs dated Android software. The MyTouch's screen is dark and has poor contrast. The phone is also big and heavy.
Bottom Line: If you can live with its dated software and heft, the T-Mobile MyTouch Q is an alluring keyboard slider deal. [Read more]

Good: Dyle offers TV addicts a way to view content on mobile phones. The service is free.
Bad: Reception can be inconsistent. The Lightray launch device is basic and expensive. HDMI output to TVs isn't supported.
Bottom Line: The Dyle service from Metro PCS is a free way to watch TV on mobile phones, but reception isn't perfect. [Read more]

Good: Amazon Instant Video has lower prices on some movies and a catalog that's mostly on par with iTunes.
Bad: You can only watch movies instantly if you have Prime or if you have purchased or rented them on the Amazon Web site first. There's no in-app store.
Bottom Line: Amazon Instant Video is only instant if you're a Prime subscriber or once you've already purchased content from Amazon's Web site, but the lower cost for some videos might make it worth your while. [Read more]

Bottom Line: Huawei's T-Mobile MyTouch is ideal for first-time smartphone users who want 4G speeds and decent specs, but be aware that you'll be buying into an antiquated OS. [Read more]
