American review sites? I personally would rather go hands on myself with a product then checking out online reviews. Can't wait for CTIA 2010! 
To deny
any credibility of people that critique technology for a living is kind of sad, not to mention that I've personally had dozens of phones with several providers over the years (including Helio!). I'm kind of a nut in that regard. I've had LG products, HTC products, Motorola products, Samsung products, Windows Mobile products, etc.
I've tested the Android powered phones, T-Mobile's Sidekick devices and more.
RIM has brought the best, most stable messaging device
and phone on the planet with the Curve series. The Bold is a fantastic model, as well. Apple has RIM beat in terms of entertainment applications, but as far as messaging device - it's still catching up. Not to mention, IT folks love it because of its easy to use, Microsoft Exchange support and has far superior security controls than the iPhone.
The only thing that I've seen give it a real run for its money is the Palm Pre, but we're still waiting to see how that will play out. Palm still reported a loss,
the Pre has reported first generation hardware issues, demand is leveling off, etc. I'm far more interested in the future of WebOS than the handheld, though.
It will be interesting to see if it becomes the viable competitor to Apple's OS that Google wanted Android to be.
