Smartphones

Which one would you buy??????


* Nokia Lumia 900: Details of this LTE Windows Phone for AT&T were leaked last week, then confirmed yesterday by the New York Times. Why you should care: This will be bigger and badder than the globally-released Nokia Lumia 800, and will be the first Windows Phone capable of 4G LTE speeds.

* Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Sprint: In a major uh-oh, a Sprint ad for an LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (reviewed here for Verizon) mistakenly published early on CNET's site. Even though CNET has since removed the ad, that's tantamount to a smoking gun. Why you should care: Sprint will launch its 4G LTE market with the debut phone running the advanced Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. Previously, we considered the handset a Verizon exclusive.

* Samsung Galaxy Note: Samsung can't fool us. The center strip may have fallen/been stripped from/never pasted onto their banner adorning the CES conference center, but Hangman pro that I am, I can deduce that the Galaxy No--! is the Note, especially when you pair it with a picture of the familiar design and the loaded reference to its 5.3-inch screen size. Plus, we already heard it was coming AT&T's way. Why you should care: The monster screen size verges on tablet territory, which could fall flat. Already available globally, the Note is expected to plump up AT&T's LTE offerings.

* LG Spectrum: Another superphone, the LG Spectrum is expected to pack 4G LTE, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and a 4.5-inch display. Why you should care: Big, powerful, and fast, the Android successor to the Revolution is tipped to bless Verizon's already sensational lineup.
