Hawaii 5-O Smartphones: iPhone & Windows Phone for Good Guys, Android for Bad Guys?

I’m a fan of the reimagined 2010 version of the Hawaii 5-O TV show. One of the things that struck me about the show is that it frequently featues smartphones. The recent episode “Heihei” (air date Nov. 23, 2010), for example, featured a running joke about Danny “Danno” Williams’ (Scott Caan) difficulty with typing on a touch screen keyboard. He was reminded several times to turn his phone sideways to get a bigger keyboard. The bad guy in this same episode used what looks like some kind of HTC Android phone with a remote detonator app (see the photo to the left).

Danno has what might be the keyboardless Windows phone 7 Samsung Focus.
