Hasta La Gadget!

Verizon’s first Android flagship reveled in its brutal design and geeky touches, but times have changed. The Motorola Droid 4 has shed the neckbeard, put on a suit and is now aimed at the niche enterprise set. When we reviewed it, we wondered if times hadn’t changed, with the Nexus phones usurped the Droids at the pinnacle of the Android ecosystem. The phone itself isn’t bad, apart from that weak PenTile display, but does it really need to exist nowadays? Share your thoughts and feelings about how you could improve it in the comments below.

While Nokia’s Lumia 710 may have been imagined as the Jan Brady of the Lumia line, this supposedly awkward middle child does plenty of things right. In fact, for everyone outside of the smartphone hardcore, it’ll serve you very well at a far lower price than the better-looking (yet similarly specced) 800. That said, does it really need to exist? Would you pick this over the cheaper 610, the better designed 800 or the LTE-packing 900? That’s the question we’re asking you today — if you were bending Stephen Elop‘s ear off about his trials and triumphs, what would you say about the 710, and more importantly, what would you change?

Sony’s Tablet P was an enormous gamble with its clamshell form factor that meant it could easily slide into a jacket pocket. Unfortunately, it suffered from terrible execution: flimsy build quality, lack of software support and the gaming options were bested by the older Xperia Play. But of course, that’s just our review — so what has it been like out there as your daily driver? If you’ve bought and used one, why not tell Sony what you’d have done differently in the comments below?
