Both sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, meaning you really can do just about everything on both of them. But the XV6800's larger display-2.8 inches versus 2.4 inches-does make document and picture viewing easier

Its slide-out keyboard does enhance usefulness, though it is rather small. The keyboard features two menu buttons and just a few other keys beyond the alphabet (and corresponding numbers and symbols available using the Function key)

They wanted to build a handset that offers a touch-centric user interface "consistent with the iPhone", which Owen's readily admits raised the bar for usability for everyone in the industry

There are a number of games designed for previous haptic-enabled Java phones that'll be ready to take advantage of haptics inclusion in Instinct when the phone is released in a few months

Couldn't one of the carriers pick up a great phone like this? Without that support, you can only buy it unlocked for $699

There's a lot to like about this amazingly powerful 3G smartphone. While the price is certainly high, many will be glad to have it at any price

That's one choice you don't have to make with the AT&T Pantech Duo C180. This inexpensive ($199) dual-slider device aims to straddle the line between lifestyle phone and serious business tool, which it manages to accomplish for the most part

The Duo's offers the voice command feature built into Windows Mobile, which you can use to display contacts or dial phone numbers directly. You can also open some of the Duo's major applications by voice command, but not all of them-many of our ...

Specifically, we're talking about the AT&T Tilt, a device penned by prolific smartphone manufacturer HTC, and whose signature feature is adjustable screen

This being a Windows Mobile device, the included software is a pretty standard compliment. But since the Tilt uses Windows Mobile 6 Professional, it comes with a version of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plus Outlook) that can edit and ...

What's so appealing about the Q 9h? It's very thin - 11.8 mm to the Curve's 15.5 mm. The QWERTY keyboard features well-marked keys with a roughened surface that prevents fingers slipping off them - a problem with many PDA keyboards

More important is music player performance as this is a core function for many users. Like some other very thin PDA phones - the BlackBerry Pearl, for example - the Q 9h does not include a standard stereo headphone jack. This in my opinion is a ...

Nokia has never been a design powerhouse, and while the N75 has a certain style, you wouldn't call it sleek. Under the hood, it's targeted as a music phone, but the exterior looks all business

Currently selling for $99 with two-year agreement and rebates, the Nokia N75 is a decent music phone for those who need something more solid than the latest ultra-thin model

We're not used to being wowed by T-Mobile phones, since the trendiest and flashiest models usually go to other carriers, but the Shadow is a beautifully designed creation

If you need to do serious work on the road, you'll want a move powerful smartphone, but if checking e-mails and staying connected is your primary purpose, the Shadow is an excellent choice

Nokia hopes to have better luck with a follow-on product, the E61i, which in spite of the backwards-sounding nomenclature is actually derived from the same platform (the original E61) that spawned the less-capable E62

Removing the E61i's battery cover takes a fair bit of elbow grease, and should be done with care: the cover is made of stainless steel and has some disturbingly sharp edges. Nokia rates the E61i's battery for up to 5 hours talk time and 13-17 days on ...

Windows Mobile 6 gives Moto more under the hood, such as Microsoft Direct Push e-mail, while the VCast Music-centric default homepage makes it seem intended solely as a gateway for Verizon's music service. If you can ignore the come-ons, you'll find a ...

Call quality was excellent in the New York City area throughout our testing, and Internet and e-mail service was always quick. The phone is rated for 4.5 hours of talk time and 8.8 days of battery life
