Apparently, the powers that be (at Google, that is) have heard users' complaints on this score and have created the Google Phone Gallery, a carousel of devices that displays images, phone features, manufacturer and carrier information and more.
You can sort phones by hardware manufacturer, by phone service provider and even by country, a feature we know our international readers will be very happy about.
Finally, you can select multiple devices to do side-by-side comparisons.
There's a tab that reads "Phones," too. This seems a bit redundant for a "Phone Gallery," unless you consider the rising tide of Android tablets. We hope to see a few non-phone mobile devices featured in this gallery in the very near future.
All these devices ship with the standard set of on-deck Android apps you know and love, including the Android Market, Google Search, Maps, Gmail and YouTube.
If you're in the market for a new Android or thinking of buying one for the first time, this site's the ideal destination for you. And if you're a contented Android device user, this is where you can point all the people who ask you which phone they should buy next.
Now all we need is a better way to sort through the Wild West of apps that is the Android Market... Oh, wait. We found that yesterday.
