As we approach the end of the year, Wireless and Mobile News continues with our data gathering mission of collecting all the reviews of the best top coolest hottest smartphones of the year and then review them all to name the top ten smartphones of the entire year in late December.
Let's see what Consumer Reports named the top smartphones. It has already been noted that this is the first year that Consumer Reports did not put the iPhone on the of the list. Which may predict the fist year that the iPhone does not come in the top of the Wireless Mobile News Top Smartphones of 2011 list.
Update 2012 - We've rounded-up the 2012 results for best smartphone from Consumer Reports, T-Mobile, DT, HTC, Droid, Motorola, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, trends, sales figures and the best for 2012.
Although Consumer Reports recommends the iPhone 4S they noted attactive new features such as an upgraded camera, faster processor and Siri but ""These pluses were not enough, however, to allow the iPhone 4S to outscore the best new Android-based phones in our ratings."
