Point the mouse to a scroll bar and press and drag your finger to move up or down. Tap the pad to "click" the option you've placed the mouse over. The Epix is a touch-screen device, but the optical mouse makes the stylus much less important. ...

It's increasingly common and handy for devices like these to come with Wi-Fi. The Epix Wi-Fi radio worked well when it worked, but seemed a little finicky. In zones where we knew free Wi-Fi was available, and where the Epix had recently connected, it ...

HP hasn't updated the design terribly much, giving the iPAQ 110 Classic a look that would have been right at home in 1999. It measure 2.7- by 0.5- by 4.6-inches and weighs 3.9 ounces, which makes it thinner and lighter than anything comparable at the ...

HP apparently sees some life left in the PDA market ,and we hope it's right. Smartphones are getting smarter, but they're still not a substitute for a good PDA

Otterbox says the case has 3 layers of protection, a clear membrane to protect the skin, a hi-impact Polycarbonate shell and a silicone skin to absorb bump and shock. While the case is not waterproof it will protect your BlackBerry from light rain and ...

The only other drawback is if you need to pull the battery, or get to the SIM or Memory card. The Otterbox is not like most cases that you can slip your BlackBerry in and out of quickly. There is more work to getting your BlackBerry out

The Blackjack II measures 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches and weighs 4.1 ounces., so it's easy to slip it in a pocket and go. You'll get a 2.4-inch, 320 by 240 pixel display and a full QWERTY keyboard that makes thumb typing simple. The number keys are now ...

Right now, it sells for a very reasonable $99.99 with a two-year agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate

The 5800, which features HTC's very cool sliding QWERTY keyboard, is a good example. It's a Bluetooth-enabled Swiss Army knife of a CDMA1xEVDO smartphone. It runs Microsoft's new Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition operating system

I am not a great user of or believer in phone cameras, but I appreciate that others find them useful - or at least fun. This one performs no worse than most I've tried, and better than some. Focus, as with all fixed-focus cameras and especially phone ...

With RIM's development of a Facebook application for BlackBerry, Facebook has become a lot more appealing. I downloaded it the day RIM announced it. The result: I have never been more active on Facebook, nor enjoyed it more

The popular social networking site has, at it has with many others, become popular among BlackBerry users. So its good news that RIM's new Facebook application makes basic Facebook functions easy to perform from a BlackBerry when you're away from your ...

The quad-band GSM N95 also supports data connections via WCDMA/HSDPA, but only the for the 2100 MHz variety used in Europe -for data transmissions in North America networks, this version of the N95 uses EDGE. (As I wrote this, Nokia introduced a ...

That same 3.5 mm jack also supports TV out via an included composite video cable. We had to change the default output from PAL to NTSC before the feature would work properly, and display quality is mediocre at best when viewed on a big screen, but it ...

The only way that the ID isn't "lite" is in size: somehow it has nearly the same dimensions and weight as the Sidekick 3 (the ID measures 5.1 x 2.4 x 0.9 inches and weighs 6.3 ounces.). That's too bad, as the feature we wanted to change most with the ...

The Sidekick ID did gain a few improvements over previous models. It has removable "bumpers" along the top and bottom, so that you can add a favorite color to your phone (for $19.99 a set). It also has a better battery than the Sidekick 3, with 5.6 ...
