The three best Android-powered phones on the market

Android is on a march to take over the world, and right now, there are three gorgeous, keyboard-less Android phones available on the market. Let's take a look at them.

Samsung I7500

The first important fact about the Samsung I7500, and the bit that has made it so talked about, is its operating system: Google Android. As it's only the second phone to officially go on sale using Android, the Samsung I7500 has garnered an awful lot of trade and consumer interest. Even more importantly, the Samsung I7500 is the best-looking Android phone to feature a keyboard-less, touchscreen-only design, a thing that seems to be all the rage in 2009. It's easily more of a looker than any previous Android phones, and that fusion of enhanced looks and the still-awesome power of Android makes the Samsung I7500 a very compelling phone indeed. If innovation is your thing, this is the phone for you.

HTC Magic

Google Android is one of the big buzzwords of the year, and the next phone on the list, the HTC Magic, is winning an army of fans round the world. One of the main reasons for that is the interface, with finger friendly controls, and sweeping animations as you move between screens. On the front end, though, what makes the HTC Magic particularly special is that it uses widgets. With these, you can customise the HTC Magic in any way you feel like. Instead of just changing the wallpaper, it'll also let you pick the icons on screen, and position them anywhere YOU want. The HTC Magic takes customisation to the next level, and is easily one of the nicer interfaces in the mobile industry.

HTC Hero

So, there's the Samsung I7500, which puts Android into the sexiest body it has been seen in. And then, there's the HTC Magic, which stands as HTC's first keyboard-less Android phone. However, there's an alternative to those two. Android is trying to take over the world, and its new home is the beautiful HTC Hero. It has all the good stuff that made the first Android phone (the G1) good, but puts it all in a touchscreen-only body, which is both sleek and sexy. Since the keyboard has been removed, the HTC Hero also has a full, onscreen keyboard, and a sumptuous new interface called Sense. You also get the Android Marketplace, which lets you download and install third party apps to your HTC Hero, and it ends up creating a smartphone that really can morph into whatever you want it to be. Based on the interface alone, I have to conclude that the HTC Hero is the nicest phone on this list.
