Smartphones that dazzle, dock, and control a home theater: Step aside, iPhone?

Filed under: CES and tagged: ,

motorola-droid-bionicSure, the VeriPhone is all any of us can talk about, but that’s far from the only drool-worthy phone making news in the last few days. There were puh-lenty of phones at CES to lust after.

The Motorola Droid Bionic is up at the top of that list: the 4.3-inch screen is bigger than the iPhone’s, and the 8-megapixel camera has me swooning. HDMI output on a phone? Uh, sure! The HTC ThunderBolt, which has comparable specs, is also a straight-up thing of beauty, plus unlike the iPhone, it has expandable storage.

Motorola’s showstopper, though, was the Atrix 4G, which sports the most robust innards of any smartphone — and comes with a dock that basically turns your phone into a full-on PC. (BYO monitor. Watch a video here.)

But if you’re more about integration, TV maker Vizio unveiled their upcoming Vizio Phone (catchy name, dudes), which has the same interface as the company’s web-enabled TVs and upcoming tablet. Oh, and it has an infrared blaster that makes it a universal remote.

Are you iPhone-or-bust, PopWatchers? Or were there phones at CES that dialed your number? For more gadgets and gizmos, read all about the best of CES right here.

    Sorry, you say “blaster” and my mind goes Star Wars. A blaster on your phone would be pretty awesome.
