  Overall score: 8.3 (4.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 58 reviews

  Overall score: 8.7 (4.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 13 reviews

The Bottom Line: With the iPhone 4, Apple again shows that it is a powerful player in the smartphone wars.

The Bottom Line: The laptop dock is a decidedly cool (and pricey) feature, but the dual-core Motorola Atrix 4G has plenty to offer on its own. The smartphone packs speed and high-end features into a sleek package and earns its place at the top of AT&T's Android lineup. Read review
