9. Samsung Ace SPH-i325 (Sprint)
Editors' rating: 7.3
The good: The Samsung Ace for Sprint offers dual-mode functionality for world-roaming, and it's unlocked for use with international SIM cards. The Windows Mobile smartphone has a compact design and features a 1.3-megapixel camera, EV-DO, and Bluetooth.
The bad: General performance can be sluggish at times. It doesn't support overseas 3G GSM networks, and lacks Wi-Fi and GPS.
The bottom line: For Sprint customers looking for a world-roaming smartphone, the Samsung Ace is a nice and compact alternative to the RIM BlackBerry 8830.
Price: $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates
