The LG Revolution‘s claim to fame is LTE-capability, which makes it the faster device in this bunch as far as data transfer speeds go. Other than that, it’s a mid-to-high range Android smartphone with a 4.3-inch, 800×480 pixel screen, single-core 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5-megapixel back camera and a 1.3-megapixel front one for video calls and 16 GB of storage memory.

The Droid X2 is a more powerful beast with a dual-core 1 GHz CPU, and 8-megapixel back camera, and a 4.3 inch, 960 x 540 display. The lack of LTE makes it $50 cheaper than the LG revolution, though: it costs $199 with a two-year contract with Verizon.

The HTC Trophy is a fairly standard Windows Phone 7 device, with a 3.8-inch, 480×800 pixel display, a 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5-megapixel back camera, 16 GB of storage memory, all of which makes it the cheapest device in this bunch – it goes for $149 with a two-year contract.

Finally, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, as the only phone to bear the PlayStation mark, has the distinction of being made for gaming, while otherwise it’s another Android with a 4-inch, 480×854 display, 1 GHz CPU (with an additional Adreno 205 GPU to power all that graphics-intensive games), and an 8 GB pre-installed memory card. It will set you back $199 with a two-year contract.

The only worthwhile phone i see in Verizon's lineup is the Incredible 2

P.S. just found out Im still locked into contract till Aug. 12th But !! i could cancel and it'd still be cheaper than buying a contracual-less phone at full price... The fee wouldn't be huge since id'e only be paying the difference of how many months i have left...

i played with the droid charge in the store it has n@sty lag in the web browser that really hurts the phone to me and samsungs ui for their icons are terrible too kiddy. Its a decent phone but its the worst of the 4g phones imo The Revolution looks like it might be the best one, the thunderbolt is cool my gf has it but the battery dies too fast and it is laggy after awhile...theres alot of accidental touches on that phone too like texting and typing you can accidentally touch the wrong persons name and send a txt to the wrong person and its not just my touching my gf says it happens all the time when she uses it. its a good phone theres just some bug fixes that need to be worked out.
