For a while, the flow of Google Android devices was pretty slow, but now they're coming out fast and furious. At this pace, it's really no surprise that Android sales are surpassing those of the iPhone. If you're ready to join the party, here is a gallery of some of the latest Android devices to land on Planet Earth.

HTC Evo 4G (Sprint)

The good: The HTC Evo 4G delivered respectable 4G speeds, and the mobile hot-spot feature lets you connect up to eight devices. The smartphone has a front-facing camera for video chats and also comes with an 8-megapixel camera with HD-video-recording capabilities. The Evo ships with YouTube's HQ video player, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and an HDMI port. Other highlights include an extra-large 4.3-inch touch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

The bad: Sprint's 4G network is limited at this time, making the mandatory $10 premium data add-on tough to swallow for anyone outside of the coverage area. The Evo lacks support for Bluetooth voice-activated dialing. Battery drains quickly with 4G.

The bottom line: The HTC Evo 4G is easily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's top Android devices. It also shows the promise of 4G, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax network expands, but until there's broader 4G coverage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory premium data add-on fee.

X10 So close and yet so far

My favorite of these is the X10, or at least it would be if they'd ironed out the niggles and made it a 2.1 device. (It's running 1.6 still)
Morons in management, betcha, some idiot holding back the key developers.

you said it...

The specs look just right for the X10 but I'm going for a Desire due to Sony-Ericsson releasing a 1.6 device in 2010! Doesn't bode well for updates...

HTC incredible has battery issues... as in it cant hold a charge from 9am

to 8pm. Barely makes it through the day. I hear the 2500 battery allows for this... but i am waiting on the 3500.

Good phone overall though. BTW, you can use the data while on the phone if you are using WIFI.
