Answer
Go with the Razr Maxx. I own this phone and it is the best phone out....period.
The Consumer Report overall score is 80 out of a possible 100. This phone was rated excellent in all categories but three. Two were a very good rating and one good rating. CR rated this phone higher than any current smartphone that Verizon has and was second only to the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (AT&T) which has a score of 81. Plus you get the speed of Verizon's LTE Network. This phone will soon be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (the new Android operating system) and will also soon have international roaming available.
CR's Take
With its phenomenal battery life, the Droid Razr Maxx will give you more time to enjoy its many high-definition, high-speed, charms at full throttle without being tethered to a charger.
Highs
⢠Outstanding battery life, with 13.25 hours of talk time
⢠Superb 4.3-inch high-resolution display with excellent keypad readability under most lighting conditions, even in bright light
⢠Exceptional ease of use, messaging, and Web browsing
⢠Excellent e-mail readability and attachment capabilities
⢠Lets you create and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets out of the box
⢠Very good photo quality
⢠Supports fast 4G data networks, which lets Verizon users, for the first time, be on a phone call while surfing the Web
⢠Uses versatile Android operating system, with access to many apps and services
Lows
⢠Larger than many of the smart phones we've tested
⢠Has a non-removable battery
⢠Fair voice quality when listening
⢠Lacks a physical button for quick phone access, and its virtual keypad makes it hard to enter a number without looking
⢠Lacks preset text messages and doesn't let you create your own presets (GoSMS fixes this)
As for the iPhone 4s.......It scores 67 out of 100 points.
CR's Take
iPhone 4S builds on the versatility and innovation of its predecessor by including one of the best cameras we've seen on a phone, and a fascinating, built-in voice-activated "assistant" called Siri that's fairly good at following complex orders--at least most of the time. What's more, this model doesn't have the signal-reception problem we confirmed on the iPhone 4 during testing.
Highs
⢠Built-in voice-controlled personal digital assistant
⢠Top-notch high-resolution display
⢠Display and keypad are easy to see in bright light
⢠Dynamic, intuitive iOS operating system provides superb multimedia functionality and simple access to most features
⢠Among the best phone cameras for both picture and video quality
⢠Front-facing camera facilitates video chats and self-portraits
⢠The best mp3 player we've seen in a phone, with a unique interface that lets you flip through your music
⢠Easy access to Apple's online stores, with an unmatched selection of apps, games, music, and more
⢠Can be used internationally
Lows
⢠Doesn't allow you to create and edit Word documents or Excel spreadsheets out of the box, though you can open them
⢠Lacks Flash video
⢠Fair voice quality when listening
⢠Virtual keypad makes it hard to enter a number without looking
⢠Lacks a physical button for quick phone access
⢠Phone battery can only be replaced by Apple

Which should I buy? Expression web,media,blend, or design?
Rowin
I confused since they are all webpage makers.
Which should I choose or buy them all ?
Answer
I thought it is one bundled program.
read this cnet review
Microsoft's new Expression lineup includes four applications: Web for building Web sites, Media for organizing images and other digital media, Design for drawing vector graphics, and Blend for building rich media applications. This new package encroaches upon imaging and coding territory long served by Adobe as well as competitors such as Corel.
The interface of Expression Web closely resembles that of Adobe Dreamweaver.
Most of the Expression programs require that you run at least Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 or newer, or the new Windows Vista. Make sure to check the ReadMe section of Microsoft's Web site before installation. You may have to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (or 3.0 for Expression Design) and uninstall any beta versions of Microsoft Office 2007. A trial download of Expression Web, a final product, is available at CNET Download.com. The other programs remain in development and can be found at Microsoft's Web site.
Once it's running, Expression Web offers a variety of templates--not as many as Dreamweaver CS3 offers, but enough to get started with a basic personal or small business Web site. You also can import a site you already have via FrontPage extensions, FTP, HTTP, WebDAV, or files on your hard drive.
Because Web resembles Dreamweaver, its multiple panes and views of nested folders appear less friendly for Web design newbies than its predecessor, FrontPage. However, this is a plus for professional coders who live and breathe Cascading Style Sheets and XML. (Microsoft still offers simple online tools for Web design newbies, such as templates that accompany a free domain name through Office Live.)
You can view the code, design, or both at once while docking Task Panes on the left-hand side of the interface. Tabs along the top organize open HTML pages. If you're an experienced coder, it's easy to drag and drop code elements onto the page in Expression Web. Plus, clicking on an element in the code view will highlight its corresponding content in the design view.
Expression Media manages more than 100 types of files.
Expression Media is an updated and repackaged version of iView MediaPro, which Microsoft bought last year. Similar to Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom, this Digital Asset Management application helps you manage catalogs, or libraries, of work. Media can wrangle files in more than 100 formats, such as RAW files. It also steps you through publishing content as a photo gallery or movie. Unlike other Expression apps, Media works with Macs as well as PCs. During our tests of the beta 2 version, Media still hadn't adopted the look and feel common to the other three Expression applications. Still, we found Media easy to figure out from the get-go. Although Media offers fewer features than Lightroom, the beta was intuitive in our tests, with drag-and-drop features and self-explanatory bulk tagging.
Expression Design graphics software performs pixel and vector image editing, a lightweight mix of features offered by Adobe competitors Photoshop and Illustrator. For instance, with Design you can add Live Effects to an image without making a permanent change, similar to the new nondestructive Smart Layers in Photoshop CS3. We easily adjusted to the interface, which once again strongly resembles Adobe software.
