Dads tend to be always on the go so give him a smartphone with serious staying power. The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Android phone is fast, slim, and durable. It also boasts the best battery life we've ever seen plus connects to Verizon's swift 4G LTE network.
Part of a growing vanguard of advanced Windows Phone 7 handsets, the HTC Titan II offers plenty for Microsoft loyal fathers. It boasts a huge 4.7-inch screen, access to AT&T's new 4G LTE service, and a great 16MP camera.
For some dads, only the flavor of pure Android 3.0 will do. For them we recommend the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Not only is this latest Nexus-class handset nimble, it melds a beautiful 4.65-inch AMOLED display, 4G LTE, with unadulterated Ice Cream Sandwich.
With solid smartphone specs that were once legendary, the Samsung Galaxy S II on US Cellular is a dependable choice for dads who subscribe to the nation's sixth largest carrier.
Extremely comfortable and thoughtfully designed, the LG Tone BHS-700 stereo Bluetooth headset makes a great gift for smartphone-owning dads with long commutes or who like to enjoy digital audio around the house.
A truly unique mobile gadget, the Jambox Jawbone is an ultra-stylish portable wireless speaker that sounds great and even lets you answer calls without skipping a beat. It'll make a great addition to the old man's office or travel gear.
