It's not much to look at, but this multifunction handheld is strong enough to take a licking and keep the mobile professional on-task.

Symbol Technology's (SBL) MC70 won't win any awards for looks. It's essentially designed like a big block, with large numeric buttons for making calls. And on the unit I reviewed, those same buttons also share space with the keyboard, which packs ...

The cell-phone maker's fashion-forward new model isn't as user-friendly as the price tag might lead one to expect.

The Q is lighter and sleeker than its popular rivals, but its short battery life and complicated e-mail function make it a hassle to use.

First off, let me confess: I'm not a mobile e-mail guy. I've never owned a BlackBerry (RIMM), nor a Palm (PALM) Treo. Sending a text message via the phone is nothing but a nuisance to me. My thumbs were built to grip a football or to aid in twisting ...

The V188 offers crystal-clear calling. But confusing menus turn simple functions and adjustments into difficult chores.

The Samsung SCH i730 ($399.99 with two-year Verizon Wireless service contract)is perhaps the slickest of the new smart phones running Windows Mobile 5.0. It's basically a micro PC, complete with two kinds of high-speed Internet access and a slide-out...
