At this time of year people are looking for gifts and to help you out and we here at ZDNet are assembling 2008 Holiday Gift Guide. I posted my Smartphone Holiday Guide to help you figure out which smartphone is best for you. Another excellent resource that you may find interesting is the Smartphone Experts Smartphone Round Robin articles. There are five sites in the Smartphone Experts group and they take away the primary device for each editor and have them evaluate the primary devices from each of the other editors through November and December. In addition to reading all of the great perspectives from users of different platforms, there are amazing contests where you can win one of these smartphones for free.
While you can visit and follow each site directly, they have also assembled a nice summary page where links to each of the reviews is posted for you to read in detail. The devices that are being rotated around between the editors of each of these sits are the iPhone 3G, Palm Treo Pro, T-Mobile G1, HTC Fuze, and BlackBerry Bold. I have used all of these devices and agree that they are all the best in each category. Check out the reviews over the next month and enter to win your own smartphone.
