The Google Phone! Available Among unlocked cell phones!

Smart phone competition was fierce in 2010, not only did Apple and Android go head to head, but many features (improved scrolling, touchscreens, and syncing) became standard on many phones. Of course, despite the best intentions of many cell phone designers, many of these improvements were lost or overshadowed by the restrictions and unnecessary apps added by cell phone carriers, which is why unlocked cell phones, a version of smart phones without these restrictions, are the best bet for savvy users. Here's a list of 4 great unlocked cell phones that are hot right now:

1) The Blackberry 9650 Bold was released in May and runs on Blackberries latest OS (5.0). It has a 3.1mp camera with an LED flash, as well as GPS, a USB port, and bluetooth 2.0. Continuing Blackberry's line of high end smart phones, the 9650 is king among unlocked smart phones for professionals with a tech edge.

2) The long awaited release of the HTC Google phone finally happened in October. With Google's great functionality thoughtfully put into all their products, getting an unlocked Google phone is a great way to ensure you get all the value (since unlocked cell phones are weighed down with carrier add ons). With a great display screen, it combines touchscreen and a full qwerty keyboard for more use options. It also comes with a built in radio, and a 4.9mp camera with LED flash.

3) The Samsung Mythic has a touchscreen, 3.1mp camera, and is designed with people who love to game and network at mind. An upgrade for people who loved Samsung Eternity!

4) The HTC Pure Topaz is one of the hottest new phones, and that it's available among unlocked cell phones is a great bonus! Available with a great 4.9mp camera, as well as other high end touches, it's a great choice!
