T-Mobile Sidekick

Unfortunately, it doesn't fulfill our entire Sidekick wish list. Still missing are Wi-Fi and 3G support. Those are long overdue, so we hope they'll be added for the next version. And GPS should really be here, too, since the users are going to want to ...

BlackBerry Bold 9000

BlackBerry Bold

By Gerry Blackwell

Not that the new BlackBerry Bold isn't a fine addition to Research in Motion's (RIM's) best-selling line-up of smartphones.

We like the BlackBerry keyboard marginally better than the iPhone virtual keyboard for inputting URL text

Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G (AT&T)

By Troy Dreier

A few early adopters probably regretted their decision when the iPhone 3G was released. While the original iPhone was a game-changer that spurred forward a category often lacking in innovation, the iPhone 3G delivers several features that were much ...

Palm Treo 800w

Palm Treo 800W

By Troy Dreier

The Treo 800W, surprisingly, is the first Treo to offer Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g). How Palm let something so basic go for so long is a mystery, but it's here now so the past is forgiven. Palm has even added a convenient Wi-Fi button to the top of ...

Also new, and not nearly so long overdue, is GPS reception. The device can pinpoint your location and even find nearby businesses (give it a long time to lock onto your position, the first time you use it). The 800W is only carried by Sprint, and for ...

Nokia E71

While we love the external design, we never warmed up to the Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 3.1 edition inside. Using it was never difficult, but poor organization turned simple jobs into multi-step chores, and hid too many options behind confusing menus

The keyboard is quite small, and typing was occasionally a challenge for our large fingers. We were forced to type slowly and focus on hitting the right keys. The number pad shares space on the center keys, which is fine but we wish the numbers were ...

Apple iPhone 3G

Images were a little fuzzy but clear enough in most cases to be able to make out what was going on. With weaker connections and at peak times, images got fuzzier, but video never hiccupped.

Palm Treo Pro

While the Treo Pro is a GSM smartphone, it's only sold unlocked in the U.S., so there are no carrier discounts. That will put it beyond the reach of some (it sells for $549 from Palm.com), but we like that users aren't tied to onerous contracts. Plus, ...

Samsung Instinct SPH M800

Actually, we're not talking about the latest iPhone, but rather its would-be competitor, the Samsung Instinct. Sprint Nextel is hoping the Instinct (which it has exclusive US rights to, at least for now) will pique the interest of anyone jonesing for ...

The Instinct's haptic touch screen responds to contact with vibrations, a feature we like a lot since it provides the tactile feedback you'd normally get from mechanical buttons. (You can turn this off if you want.) The responsiveness and accuracy of ...

Blackberry Curve 8330

BlackBerry Curve 8330

By Gerry Blackwell

Customers of Verizon and other North American CDMA-based cellular providers can finally lay their hands on one of the hottest PDA phones, Research in Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry Curve, the smallest, lightest cell phone with a full QWERTY keyboard.

We tested the 8330 on the Telus network in Canada. Yes, it did sound a bit tinny and digital - hmmm, didn't we just say that about music playback? - but all the calls were perfectly clear and audible. The Curve, as noted in the original review, also ...
