    My new site has a list of about 100+ items. This list will grow exponentially in the coming weeks/months before we launch in 2012.
    The list is of Androidâ„¢ phones.

    There are
    Different Manufactures: HTC, Samsung, Motorola ...
    Different User Interfaces are: AOSP by Google, Sense by HTC, Touchwiz by Samsung, Motoblur by Motorola ...
    Different Carriers: T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint ...
    Different Androidâ„¢ versions: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x ...
    Different brands, form factors, processors, RAM, screen sizes, etc.

    We wish to categorize all of these.
    It seems that all the above “categories” could in them selves be both a child, and also a parent.
    EX: T-Mobile > HTC > Sensation XL
    EX: HTC > Sensation > rooting guide
    EX: Sensation > Accessories > Screen protectors

    The site is using this type of drop down menu system to select an item.

    What would be the best way to display this data?
    I’d like a standard default way and NOW use add-ons. But if it’s easier/better with something like Matrix, or something else, please advise.
