The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is like a classically-tailored suit: elegant, predictable, practical, and easy to slip into, but not visibly innovative. It advances the state of the art without making unsettling changes. In some ways, this is good; the Bold ...

Excellent form factor. Razor-sharp screen. Wi-Fi calling. Good keyboard. Solid call quality

Browser still needs help. Not a big jump up from earlier models

If you prefer your smartphones evolutionary, not revolutionary, the BlackBerry 9700 will fit your bill perfectly. It's the latest iteration of a very successful design.

If you're rocking an aging BlackBerry, you should definitely consider the Bold 9700. Its keyboard, display, software, and specs make it the best BlackBerry to date, by far.

Attractive, slimmed-down design; excellent, ergonomic keyboard

Camera is just average; browser can't compete with other top phones

On the right spine are the volume rocker and the camera shutter/convenience key (a function key that you can program to open any app of your choice). On the left side you'll find another convenience key as well as the standard 3.5mm headphone jack and ...

Phone Scoop takes RIM's new Bold 9700 for a spin. Top-notch build quality and a solid software experience make this smartphone a better 'Berry.

The Dell Inspiron 1750 (2211MBU) ($729.98 list) falls into the desktop replacement category by virtue of its roomy 17.3-inch display, but in practice it's not going to replace your desktop unless you're trading in an old or entry-level PC. The system ...

Huge 17.3-inch display for small price. Thin and light for desktop replacement. Pleasing design. Respectable battery life. Spacious hard drive

Display falls short of 1080p HD playback. No HDMI port or Blu-ray support. No 802.11n Wi-Fi. Integrated Intel graphics limits performance

A basic, low-cost desktop replacement, the Dell Inspiron 1750 (I1750-2211MBU) pairs a huge 17.3-inch display with mainstream components for big-screen bargain hunters.

Beautiful industrial design, Comfortable keyboard, Wi-Fi calling, Sharp 3.2-MP camera

OS feels a bit stale, Mediocre Web browser

Some of the new features in OS 5.0 that consumers will appreciate include improved site rendering in the Web browser, speed improvements, and threaded SMS conversations. In the future this OS will support BlackBerry widgets. Corporate BlackBerry ...

Yes, yes y'all. We're back with Act 2. Following up on the much-loved BlackBerry 9700 Review: Part 1, we're here to go over the T-Mobile version of the handset. We'll give you another look at it, and clarify anything that…

Good feature set; miniHDMI out; 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 10x zoom

Subpar photo quality; menu system too spread out

The Samsung HZ15W has good parts and features, but ultimately disappoints on the whole.

This ultraportable projector displays good-looking images but works best only in low lighting.

Combination projector/media player; 20,000 hours of LED light

Low brightness; short input cable; built-in media player has supports limited file formats

The Joybee GP1's native resolution of 858 by 600. In image-quality tests, the Joybee GP1 earned a rating of Good for overall performance. The projector displayed legible lettering in most tests, but its low brightness made reading small, light-colored ...

T-Mobile and AT&T produce a BlackBerry that does everything BlackBerry phones do best. Is that enough? Find out in our BlackBerry Bold 9700 review.

Great battery life. Well organized inbox aggregates all incoming messages. UMA calling is very convenient

Interface still bland, poorly organized. Web browser lags behind competition. Lacks some necessary software, including turn-by-turn GPS navigation

HTC Hero on Sprint

Sonos delivers a good-sounding all-in-one wireless audio player.

Good-sounding all-in-one unit; lots of volume; easy to set up and use; audio input port; headphone jack

Very little stereo separation; requires either a ZoneBridge, other ZonePlayer, or a direct connection to a router

The S5 carries five speakers—a 3.5-inch woofer, two 3-inch midrange drivers, and two tweeters. Each speaker is driven by its own Class-D digital amplifier. On the back of the S5 you'll find a 3.5mm headphone port; a 3.5mm audio-input port for ...

The HP Probook 5310 ($899 direct) is evidence that small businesses are ready to embrace modern times. Conservative IT managers, particularly in large enterprises, have yet to realize how easy it is to stifle innovation by demanding so many hardware ...

Luxuriously thin and light. Amazing typing and navigating experience. Great battery life on a 41Wh battery. Inexpensive. HP Quick tools are nice add-ons. Environmentally friendly

8-cell battery isn't available yet

The HP ProBook 5310m is one of the sleekest, thinnest SMB laptops in the market, and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

If you flipped over the Flip pocket-size video cameras, there's a newcontender worth your attention. Kodak's Zi8 replaces the Zi6, bringingfull HD 1080p capabilities to a small, well-designed package that fitsin your pocket but does more than its ...

Uses removable SDHC memory cards. Removable, rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. Four shooting modes. 1080p top resolution. Image stabilization. External microphone jack. Includes composite and HDMI cables

Bundled software isn't Mac compatible. Some video noise. Digital zoom only

The Zi8 offers convenient flexibility and produces good-looking HD videos in an affordable package no bigger than a typical point-and-shoot. It definitely gives the

It is, perhaps, fitting that Velocity Micro's new rig is called a Raptor. That's because anyone who has ever seen the Air Force's F-22 Raptor in person and on afterburner knows just how overkill the F-22 is. The same can be said of Velocity Micro's ...

The same can be said of Velocity Micro's Raptor Signature Edition. With people overjoyed just to have a $99 Athlon II X4 620, Velocity Micro decided to go shock-and-awe on the spec lists-and the wallet

There have been many unique pairings recently for the good of wireless technology, such as Google and Verizon's decision to team up and create a line of Android phones to be manufactured by Motorola. During the first week of October (2009), however, ...

As mentioned, the device is being called the Garmin Nuvifone G60 and at $300, it may not yet be worth it -- especially when considering the necessary two-year AT&T contract at $70 a month or more. Before we jump to conclusions, however, let�'s discuss ...

The Halo franchise is one of the Xbox console's largest and most popular brands. Can this game continue the magic?

A great game which has attention to detail and progressive game-play for an RTS title. The story might be a tad on the over-scripted side though.

Large screen, great speakers; excellent battery life

Heavy; massive battery; no Bluetooth

Good design and some really nice-sounding speakers round out the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980, a very affordable mainstream laptop with excellent battery life for its size.

If you need a sleek, simple CD receiver that produces excellent sound for half the price of some competitors, then definitely consider the Onkyo CS-325. Not only is it easy to setup and use, but it also has room to expand with a subwoofer or other ...

Speakers- WRAT-enabled to produce superb audio, CD receiver- easy to setup, includes presets, Price- perhaps the best-valued mini system on the market, Bulky- system is larger than others, but worth the space, Compatible- built-in subwoofer pre-out, ...

Thanks to exclusive WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology), the Onkyo...

Good touch interface, Great media experience, HD and SD video output with optional dock, Access to apps from the Android Market

Poor GPS navigation, Browser doesn't support Flash, Device gets hot after only a few minutes of use, Limited number of Android apps available ; nbsp

Navigating the interface wasn't always intuitive, and there were a few minor annoyances. In the browser address field, for example, we weren't able to easily move the cursor among the letters to delete a mistake; we could only backspace over the last ...

The Panasonic TC-P50U1 is a pretty basic model, at least as basic as they come in the 50-inch plasma category (that's a lot of screen real estate, mind you). Skipping the fancy, and frequently pointless, special processing features, Panasonic has made ...

The Panasonic TC-P50U1 is a good, but not outstanding, television. On the plus side, we loved the deep blacks and wide viewing angle that the Panasonic could produce. However, it failed to produce sufficiently bright whites and there were noticeable ...

the device displays ads.

Accurate directions. Slick software design. Google-powered services are a boon. Solid traffic reporting. Useful elevation readings

Bundled data subscription expires after two years. Displays ads. Still requires extra-cost map updates like any other GPS. Connected services not integrated with main POI database. On-board EDGE radio caused GSM buzz in our car stereo

Garmin's impressive nüvi 1690 integrates connected services and offers plenty of routing options, but the high price and mandatory ads—even when you're not using said services—are turn-offs.

We haven't auditioned many cheap speaker systems lately. Why? Well, let's just say we don't enjoy subjecting our ears to the sonic equivalent of waterboarding. But Logitech has a knack for packing big sound into inexpensive boxes, so we agreed to ...

When we see small speakers, we usually pigeon-hole them as near-field monitors: short-throw speakers that produce a small stereo soundstage that collapses as soon as you move more than three feet away from the cabinets. There's nothing inherently ...

Despite being a latecomer to the netbook market, Toshiba found success in the seemingly cut-throat niche. This time, it didn't wait as long to enter the increasingly popular CULV-laptop segment of the market. (CULV stands for consumer ultra-low ...

Very inexpensive. Well designed despite budget limitations. Excellent battery life. Lightweight and thin. Energy efficient

CULV Pentium processor holds performance back. Mouse buttons are difficult to press

The Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300 is a well designed, inexpensive ultraportable that uses the single-core CULV processor and comes up a bit short in performance.

Adobe Premiere Elements 8 is a solid program that caters to beginners and more skilled video enthusiasts alike. The company is aiming this latest version at those who are passionate for video. Great organizational features, smart autofix abilities, ...

Powerful "Smart" features speed up content creation. Sophisticated motion tracker. Useful bundled effects, scrolling credits, and other production tools. Free online backup. Good value when bundled with Photoshop Elements 8

Rocky install and setup. Not enough changes to warrant a new version. Community and content sharing features are extra-cost options

Adobe Premiere Elements 8 shows the company's extensive video editing experience, and is the best consumer-level choice for creating excellent results from start to finish.

Although the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is a little bulky for a compact digital camera, it is still a great accessory to take on trips and family events. If you need a high-quality camera that features great enhancements (including face detection), then ...

Great quality- shoots breathtaking 8 megapixel stills, Versatile- shots up to ISO 1600 at 10x optical/4x digital zoom ;

The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is much more compact than similar digital...

Latest HALO delivers a solid game, but drops the excitement level from previous outings

A solid HALO game, at a good price, with strong multiplayer

Looks like HALO, but a sort of less-varied, less exciting version of HALO

Worth a look for HALO fans, and cheap too, but still a bit disappointing.
