For Android users and those who are ready to jump ship (or jump into) the Google mobile operating system at 4G speeds, there’s a relatively low-cost smartphone coming your way: the under-$100 Pantech Breakout. Coming out Thursday (Sept.22), it’ll be available through Verizon Wireless for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. As is common practice with so many companies now, the rebate will come in the form of a debit card to be used anywhere you’d normally use one. In contrast, the recently released dual-core Motorola Droid Bionic retails for $299.99.  The phone is being promoted as a 4G/Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)/one gigahertz processor-powered (non-Droid) device with download speeds of 5 to 12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps in 4G mobile broadband coverage areas. If you have one of these, you may very well be the life of the online party when others can’t get a fix on the free Wi-Fi: the Breakout can also serve as a 4G LTE mobile hotspot that can support up to 10 Wi-Fi devices.  It also comes with a sizable, 4-inch touchscreen and pre-loaded with YouTube, Google Maps and a host of other Google products. Apps and other downloads should be able to fit on its 8 GB pre-installed microSD card. Its on-screen QWERTY keyboard also incorporate Swype, so you can write your texts in fluid lines vs. tapping. It may not be for everyone, but if you get the hang of it, it can prove addictive. Like any good smartphone, the Breakout comes with a camera — two, in fact. The rear-facing 5-megapixel one can capture HD video (up to 720p), while the front-facing camera can do still shots and be used for on-the-go video chats.  Safer, hands-free talking will also be easy with Bluetooth 3.0.  Customers who buy a Pantech Breakout smartphone will need to subscribe to a Verizon Wireless Nationwide Talk plan beginning at $39.99 for monthly access and a smartphone data package starting at $30 monthly access for 2 GB of data.

The device is not yet hitting the LG press release, so this new rumored phone should be taken with a grain of salt. The so-called LG LU6200 will include top-end specs that will compete against the most popular Samsung phone to date, the Samsung Galaxy S II or S2. The new LG Android phone will feature the 4.5-inch touchscreen with the resolution of 1280 x 720 and the phone will reportedly use the AH-IPS display technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S II, which went on sale through Sprint, just might be the nicest smartphone currently available running Google’s Android operating system. The Galaxy S II’s biggest rival to the title of king of the Androids? That would be the Motorola Droid Bionic, in my opinion. I’ve tested and used both of the 4G handsets, and although the Droid Bionic feels  like a more premium, upscale product than the Galaxy S II, in terms of materials and finishes used, the Bionic also is a bit thicker, heavier and more expensive. The Droid Bionic sells for $300 on a two-year contract exclusively through Verizon Wireless.

The Galaxy S II sells for $200 on a two-year contract through Sprint and will soon launch on T-Mobile and AT&T. Both the Droid Bionic and the Galaxy S II have similar specs with dual-core processors, 16 gigabytes of on-board storage, 8-megapixel cameras and nice, large touch displays. The Samsung Galaxy S II also is considered by many to be the largest threat at this point to the Apple iPhone 4. Want proof? Apple is suing Samsung in the U.S., Europe and Asia in an attempt to get the Galaxy S II stripped for store shelves, alleging patent infringement.
