Before shopping for speakers, try to imagine where you're going to put them in your room. Speakers can be placed on floor stands, hung on wall brackets, or placed on furniture. Subwoofers typically sound best in room corners or near the left or right front speakers.The front three left, center, and right speakers usually sound best when positioned with their tweeters elevated to the same height

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70

The Cyber-shot DSC-T70 slaps a 3 inch touch screen on the back of a slim, stylish camera body that houses an 8.1 megapixel CCD imaging sensor and a 3x optical, 38mm-114mm f/3.5-f/4.3 Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar zoom lens with optical image stabilization. When you've got such a small camera body, there's not a whole lot you can do with design, but Sony has managed to evolve the T-series design while

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300

Besides its stylish sliding lens cover (a signature feature on all Cyber-shot T-series cameras), the T300's display stands out as its most notable feature. You control almost every aspect of the camera via a 3.5 inch touch screen LCD, leaving just a power button, a playback button, a shutter release, and a zoom rocker as its only physical controls. The screen dominates the entire back panel of

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130

This 8 megapixel shooter sports a shiny, colorful new shell and a slightly longer lens, but otherwise feels like a carbon copy of its predecessor, the Cyber-shot DSC-W90. Rounded corners and an attractive brushed metal front plate give the W130 a more stylish look than the W90. Available in silver, black, and pink, it offers some choices for gadget color coordination (though not as much as its 7

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90

From the outside, the W90 looks almost indistinguishable from its 7 megapixel little brother. Its slim metal body measures less than 0.9 inch thick and weighs only 5.3 ounces with battery and Memory Stick Duo. Unfortunately, just like the W80, its small, flat buttons can feel uncomfortable to large thumbed users.Along with the same design, the W90 shares a nearly identical feature set with the

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10

For the Cyber-shot DSC-H10 budget megazoom camera, Sony didn't change much from its predecessor, the Cyber-shot DSC-H3. Only its 230,000 pixel 3 inch LCD is new, compared with the 115,000 pixel, 2.5 inch version on the H3. Given the lack of an electronic viewfinder, that's a nontrivial enhancement, but pretty much the only one.At 10.3 ounces with battery and Memory Stick Duo Pro card, the H10 is

Sony Alpha DSLR-A200

The 10.2 megapixel A200 comes in two kits one with the SAL-1870 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 lens, which we tested, and a dual lens kit that adds the SAL-75300 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 model. Those two lenses, plus the new SAL-55200, currently comprise Sony's complete entry level lens lineup. For other inexpensive alternatives you'll have to turn to compatible Amount Konica Minolta, Sigma, or Tamron offerings.At

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W120

The attractive, metal W120 is available in black, silver, blue, and pink versions. Curiously, the step up W130 only comes in silver, black, and pink. The inch thick camera weighs just 5.4 ounces with battery and Memory Stick Duo card, and slips easily into most pockets. On the backside of the camera, a 2.5 inch LCD leaves room for a small optical viewfinder, a mode dial, and a handful of

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

Above the display is an optical viewfinder so you can shut off the display when battery life is low, but it's uncomfortably small for frequent use. The controls feel tiny and crowded but manageable, even for big fingers. You access context sensitive settings through the Menu button, while the Home button calls up all the camera's options. This can be confusing at first, but makes sense after

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750

Measuring 3.6 inches wide by 2.2 inches high by 1.1 inches deep and weighing 5 ounces, the S750 fits easily in a pocket or small bag. Dressed in silver, the body is a combination of metal and plastic it's strong enough to resist damage from banging around in a bag, making it a nice choice for keeping handy for surprise photo opportunities.The only flaw is that the door on the bottom concealing

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Slightly smaller than the average digital SLR, the H50 is fairly lightweight for its class at just under a pound, but it's obviously not compact enough to put in a pocket. It's available in black or silver with a mix of plastic and metal parts, and the strap attachment loops on each side of the camera swivel, letting the camera point straight down when around your neck.The large hand grip makes

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

The T700 replaces the DSC-T300 in Sony's lineup. Like that camera, the T700 has a 10 megapixel, 1/2.3 inch Super HAD CCD sensor, wide 3.5 inch touch screen display, f3.5-f10 35-140mm equivalent Carl Zeiss lens (though the zoom range drops from 5x to 4x), Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization, and shooting features like Smile Shutter, face detection with child and adult priority control,

Canon PowerShot A580

The A580 has a decent selection of Canon's shooting technologies. It offers no fewer than 16 shooting modes, including seven special scene modes such as Foliage, Fireworks, and Aquarium, the latter for capturing images of indoor aquariums without a flash. In Easy mode the camera makes all the decisions, Manual mode gives full access to all menu settings, exposure compensation, and white

Canon PowerShot SD790 IS

Canon seems to be experimenting a lot with the design of its point and shoot cameras. That seems to have worked out a little better in the case of the SD790 IS than with its higher end sibling, the SD890 IS. Though I can't say I'm gaga over the new angular look and incised buttons, at least the camera remains stylish and functional.Not quite small enough to feel like an ultra compact, at 6.3

Canon PowerShot SD890 IS

In addition to altering the overall design, Canon opted to replace its more traditional four way navigation switch with a four way nav plus wheel. The wheel scrolls through some of the modes that you used to pull up via the function (Func) button, such as Stitch Assist, Color Swap, Color Accent, and Digital Macro, as well as the scene modes. The Func button sits in the middle and calls up

Canon EOS Rebel XSi

Slightly larger than the XTi, the XSi shaves a couple of ounces of the weight to 1 pound, 2.5 ounces. Its smooth plastic body still feels a bit on the cheap side, and I'm not crazy about the grip. I can't quite put my finger on the reason why it's not especially shallow, and Canon improved it over the XTi's with a more rubbery feeling cover. Still, I don't find it as comfortable to hold as most

Canon PowerShot SX 110 IS

One of the SX110 IS's biggest lures is its compact size for a megazoom. It measures 4.4 inches wide by 2.8 inches high by 1.8 inches deep and weighs 10.4 ounces and will fit comfortably into a jacket pocket or uncomfortably in a jeans pocket. The optically stabilized 10x f2.8-4.3 36-360mm zoom lens is responsible for most of that weight.Though slightly smaller than the SX100 IS, the SX110 IS

Canon PowerShot SD 880 IS

At 6.3 ounces and measuring 3.7 inches wide by 2.2 inches high by 0.9 inch deep, it'll fit more comfortably in a pants or coat pocket than a shirt pocket, but it's by no means big. Compared with the SD870 IS, the SD880 IS has the latest version of Canon's image processing engine, Digic 4, jumps from 8 megapixels to 10, and offers a few more scene modes.The 4x f2.8-5.8 28-112mm lens is a highlight

Canon PowerShot G10

The G10 is physically quite similar to the G9. At 14 ounces, it's heavier by about an ounce, and it's also a bit bigger one to three tenths of an inch on all sides, for dimensions of 4.3 by 1.8 by 3.1 inches. As with its predecessors, the Canon G10's metal body feels like a tank. I'm beginning to wish for just a little bit more grip, though, especially since the thumb rest feels kind of slippery.

Canon EOS 50D

Canon offers three configurations of the 50D. One kit includes the veteran f/3.5-5.6, 28-135mm IS USM lens, with an angle of view equivalent to that of a 44.8-216mm lens on a 35mm camera, and a second kit comes with the new EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, equivalent to 28.8-320mm. Of course, there's a body only version as well.Though the 28-135mm lens doesn't provide the coverage or all in one

Canon PowerShot SD770

All the SD770's controls sit on the back of the camera. While the use of a switch to shift among still capture, movie capture, and playback is common and easy to use, it does preclude being able to jump out of playback mode by pressing the shutter button, which many cameras allow, and which can slow you down a bit.And I have the same complaint as previous reviewers with the four way navigation

Samsung DuoCam SC-D6550

Even in this third generation, the DuoCam's camera and camcorder designs each lack the consistency you'd expect from a dual function device. While the menus are attractive and well laid out for both modes, they look and feel very different. The camcorder uses a colorful text based, vertically scrolling menu, while the camera's menus are icon based and scroll horizontally.The still camera lens has

Samsung DuoCam SC-D6040

Though the performance of both camera and camcorder are less than you'd get from dedicated devices in this price range, the Samsung DuoCam SC-D6040 is an attractive option if all in one convenience is your No. 1 priority. Samsung's first DuoCam, the SC-D5000, was an odd looking, bulky affair with a pivoting dual lens mechanism that would have fit in perfectly in the old Transformers cartoon.The

Samsung SCD5000 DuoCam

Samsung just started shipping its $1,400 SCD5000 DuoCam, which combines a 680.000 pixel MiniDV camcorder with a 4.1 megapixel still camera. You'd think a camera and a camcorder would go together like chocolate and peanut butter, but based on our initial observations, we doubt the SCD5000 will be the next taste sensation.A single device that can shoot good video as well as stills is the Holy Grail

Samsung SC-MX10P

Video cameras using a memory card format are able to achieve an ultra compact design. Because they record highly compressed video, they're best suited for gadget lovers who want to use their footage mainly on Web sites and in email. Digital camcorders that record MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 to memory cards may be picky about the cards you use since those encoding schemes require the ability to write to the

Samsung SC-DC564

The Samsung SC-DC564 is a 3" DVD-R, 3" DVD+ RW, and 3" DVD-RW-based, consumer camcorder. Compared to other consumer camcorders on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $410. Has a 26x optical zoom, which is somewhat more powerful than some similarly priced camcorders.Supports manual focus, which helps savvy users to tape in hard to focus situations. This product weighs just 15.2 ounces

JVC Everio GZ-MG730

With a design closely matching the rest of the Everio G series camcorders, the MG730 is a coat pocket size 2.8 inches wide by 2.7 inches high by 4.7 inches deep that's only slightly larger than JVC's Everio GZ-MS100 microSD card based camcorder. That's impressive considering it has a 30GB hard drive as well as a microSD slot for storing both video and still images.It weighs 12.8 ounces with its

JVC Everio GZ-MS100

Even as small as the MS100 is, it's very comfortable to use and does look and feel nice, despite being entirely plastic. The battery takes up most of the back there's just enough room for the record start or stop button to the right of it. On top are the zoom rocker and a snapshot button. You cannot take stills while shooting video, but instead need to flip a tiny switch on the left side of the

JVC Everio GZ-MG330

First and foremost, the whole of the MG300 series are very compact camcorders, measuring only 4.5 inches wide by 2.7 inches tall by 2.2 inches deep, and weighing about 12.7 ounces with battery. That's small enough to be of little consequence, even if you hold it for several hours. Unlike the touch screen, joystick, or jog dial controls used by other manufacturers, JVC has a unique Laser Touch

JVC Everio GZ-MG 335

Panasonic SDR-SW20

The SW20's major selling point is its sturdy, waterproof body. It's protected down to 5 feet underwater for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time, adhering to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60529 IPX8 standard. It's also dust proof and resists damage if dropped from heights up to 4 feet (using MIL STD 810F method 516.5 for shock testing).And for all its toughness, the SW20, which

Panasonic HDC-SD9

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 seems to be quite an attractive buy for a flash based AVCHD camcorder. At 11.7 ounces with battery and SD card and only 3.6 inches long, it's certainly one of the smallest and lightest full size camcorders we've ever tested, and is pretty comfortable to shoot. The zoom switch feels responsive, and all the controls seem logically placed and fluid to operate.Many of the

Panasonic AG-HSC1U

Panasonic's just beginning to make a push in AVCHD for professional applications. The company's P2 flash card format has been widely adopted by the professional community, however, the cards are expensive and too large to fit in more compact devices. The HSC1U represents Panasonic's first attempt to supply that market with a relatively inexpensive alternative it records 1080i HD video in AVCHD

Panasonic SDR-H18

Unlike the awkward body designs we've seen with some recent SD based camcorders, the SDR-H18 is very comfortable to hold. Part of the reason is that designers had to find a place to put the camcorder's hard drive, which finds its home in the right side of the body creating an iPod sized block that is just the right shape for a hand to wrap around.Almost all the camcorder's controls are also on

Panasonic HDC-SD1

Ironically, one of the SD1's biggest design weaknesses stems from its lack of a bulky DVD drive, hard drive, or tape compartment that you often find on other models. The extra height helps provide a good solid grip I found the SD1 just a little too squat to comfortably hold with my forefinger on the zoom switch.In addition, the joystick for navigating the menus and accessing shooting adjustments

Panasonic VDR-D210

Top among this camera's features is its 32x optical zoom lens, which sports a decent maximum aperture range of f/1.8 to f/3.7. That's not as fast as the lens in Panasonic's more expensive VDR-D310, which has a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at its maximum zoom, though that's only 10x, not 32.Given the D210's extremely long zoom, you'll be happy that Panasonic saw fit to include optical image

Panasonic PV-GS320

Panasonic kept the PV-GS320's design very similar to last year's PV-GS300, though thankfully they moved the manual focus selector as well as the USB and FireWire jacks out from behind the 2.7 inch LCD screen. However, Panasonic moved that manual focus selector to the right side of the body, to a spot that is difficult to access while shooting.Since there aren't any buttons below the LCD, that

Panasonic PV GS80

The GS80's chunky, simple design makes it look almost indistinguishable from the crowd of budget MiniDV camcorders. Thanks to the camcorder's incredibly simple control scheme, you can easily record and play videos without ever touching the menu system. If you really want to fiddle with the menus, you can navigate the GS80's settings with a small joystick set into the mode dial.The "advanced" menu

Sony Handycam DCR-SR85

At only 14 ounces with battery and 3.1 inches high by 3 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep, the silver and black SR85 is compact and lightweight. Sony improved the body design over its predecessor's, the DCR-SR82. Instead of separate mode and record controls, the power, movie or still dial for the SR85 sits naturally under your thumb, while the dead center record button lets you start fast without

Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

At only 14 ounces with battery and 3.1 inches high by 3 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep, the silver and black SR45 is compact and lightweight. Sony improved the body design over its predecessor's, the DCR-SR42. The power, movie, still dial sits more in line with your thumb, while the dead center record button lets you start fast without much thought.Above it are power and activity lights topped by

Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

In a most welcome step up from last year's SR7, the SR11, and SR12 offer full 1,920x1080 HD capture, thanks to its maximum 16 megabit per second AVCHD recording mode. The other three AVCHD recording modes record at 1,440x1,080 resolution, like last year's models. At the top AVCHD quality level, you can fit up to 7 hours and 10 minutes of video on the SR11's 60GB hard drive.If you bring the

Sony Handycam HDR-SR11

Sony's Handycam HDR-SR11 is among the cream of the hard drive AVCHD crop right now, and the same is true for its sister, the HDR-SR12, since the only difference between them is the size of their respective hard drives. (For this review, we tested an SR11.) The SR11 sports a 60GB drive, while the SR12 packs 120GB into its attractive HD recording body.That body design is quite nice, though it does

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5

If you discount the small touch screen LCD and lack of an eye level viewfinder, the SR5 has a perfectly serviceable design. With its shiny silver and matte black duo tone body, it lacks the sophistication of the 7 series models, but that's pretty typical for the camcorder B list. At about 1 pound, 3 ounces, it weighs down a jacket pocket but is pretty comfortable to hold during extended

Sony NSC-GC1

Closed, the GC1 looks more than a little like the monolith from 2001. A Space Odyssey. Its rectangular black form features a glossy finish on one side and a matte finish on the other, giving its all black color scheme a two tone appearance. It appears quite dapper, especially when held up against its drab white competitors, the RCA Small Wonder EZ201 and the Pure Digital Flip Video.Its 2.4 inch

Sony Handycam HDR-CX7

Sony's designers definitely made the most of the fact that the HDR-CX7 records its video to MemoryStick Pro Duo cards. The camcorder is little more than a lens and LCD screen in terms of size, though that's both a positive and negative thing. Sure, you can fit the CX7 into almost any bag, and even a large jacket or sweatshirt pocket, but the ergonomics of the grip are a little off.It's certainly

Sony Handycam HDR-SR7

Along with its trio of siblings the tape based HDR-HC7, the flash based CX7, and the DVD based UX7 the SR7 uses Sony's 1/2.9 inch, 3.2 megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor, recording video at 2.3 megapixel (HD) or 1.7 megapixel (SD) resolution before down sampling and encoding to 1080i HD (1,440x1,080) or SD (720x480), respectively.It also shoots photos at native 2.3 megapixel (16:9) or 3 megapixel (4:

Sony Handycam DCR-SR300

The 2.7 inch screen isn't big enough to accommodate more than about four virtual buttons per page, which makes the menu system cumbersome. Sony does a decent job of designing the menus given these constraints, but other manufacturers methods of navigation namely, joysticks tend to provide a better overall experience. Plus, with the LCD as the only way to frame your shots, a joystick could prevent

HP G60-125nr

At $729, it's more expensive and slower than another 15.6 inch mainstream laptop, the $499 Acer Aspire 5735-4624.

Toshiba Satellite E105-S1402

The Toshiba Satellite E105 is any indication, the answer is yes. The 14.1 inch laptop costs just $1,099, yet offers a full selection of features, a two year warranty, and 4 hours of battery life. The biggest caveat with the Satellite E105 applies to casual gamers only the laptop's integrated graphics, while sufficient for basic computing, won't have enough oomph for even basic 3D games.

Sony VGNFW270J/W

The Sony Vaio FW270, which incorporates a similarly HD friendly 16.4 inch display, does not have these shortcomings. Its optical drive reads Blu-ray discs, and its latest generation Core 2 Duo P8400 processor produced solid performance and battery scores on our benchmarks. Add to that the Vaio FW270's lengthier battery life, lighter weight, and sleek, minimalist design and you can easily

This budget card will run many games just fine, but it has its limits.And two, Don't overlook HP Pavilion dv4-1125nr, which is a

Asus Eee PC S101

At $699, the S101 is on the high end of the Netbook price range, but it is certainly cheaper than most laptops with brushed aluminum wrist rests and bodies only a hair thicker than the MacBook Air. If you don't mind the performance compromises of a Netbook, but want something more substantial than a plastic body, the S101 and HP's 2133 Mini Note PC are two well built alternatives.Unfortunately,

Asus N10J-A1

This new model doesn't share the Eee PC brand common to other Asus Netbooks, but it still features the usual suspects with respect to the CPU, RAM, and OS. What makes the $699 N10J different is the addition of an Nvidia GeForce 9300 graphics card, which marks the first time we've seen discrete graphics offered on a Netbook.Better yet, you can switch between the GeForce graphics and the integrate

Apple iBook G4

This Apple iBook G4 1.07 GHz notebook is looking for a good home. Pre-installed components include an Apple G4 1.07 GHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, a 30 GB hard drive, and an Airport Wireless card! The Apple iBook notebook has Mac OS X pre-installed and a CD-ROM drive ready to access media. Watch vivid images on its 12.1 inch TFT LCD and listen to integrated audio with its built in speakers.Connect

Lenovo IdeaPad S10

The starting configuration is a bit cheaper, offering 512MB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive for $439, while our upgrades (which are not currently available on Lenovo's Web site), should come in about $550.Specification Price as reviewed Starting price $550 - $439Processor 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270Memory 1GB, DDR2 SDRAM 533MHzHard drive 160GB 5,400rpmChipset Mobile Intel 945 ExpressGraphics Intel

Apple MacBook MB466LL/A

Redesigned with a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook is thinner and lighter than its predecessor as well as stronger and more durable. But Apple didn't stop innovating with the body's design. The MacBook also includes a new 13.3 inch, LED backlit glass display (instead of an LCD panel) and a glass trackpad that doesn't include a button (for larger

HP Mini 1000

We're dubious of HP's bizarrely proprietary "HP Mini Mobile Drive" slot, which is basically a recessed USB port into which only specially branded HP USB drives can fit. We'd happily trade this slot for a media card reader or ExpressCard slot. Without it, we might have been able to get separate headphone and mic jacks as it is, you get only one shared audio connection. Still, the actual hands on

Dell Inspiron Mini 9

While component wise, the Mini 9 is similar to other recent Netbooks, such as the Eee PC 901 and the Acer Aspire One (which all use Intel's Atom CPU), in typical Dell fashion, there are more customization options than we've seen other Netbooks. Our test unit arrived with 1GB of RAM, a 16GB solid state hard drive, and Windows XP.That configuration costs $514 and comes very close to hitting the

Alienware Area-51 m17x

The Alienware really shines when packed out with dual Nvidia GeForce 9800 GPUs and an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 processor. Of course, few people, even serious gamers, need that much horsepower, but as a display of conspicuous consumption, it's hard to beat, with an illuminated keyboard, imposing new black slab aesthetic, and a Blu-ray drive.Alienware almost has a better case to make with this

Lenovo ThinkPad X300

The newest addition to the ThinkPad X series incorporates the best of the MacBook Air (13.3 inch display, full size keyboard, thickness less than one inch) with the best of the Portege R500 (solid state hard drive, thorough selection of ports) while also adding its own great features, such as a built in DVD burner, WWAN connectivity, and GPS.The X300's ThinkPad DNA is evident in its instantly

Gateway P-7811FX

The new P-7811FX manages to fix most of the issues we had with those earlier Gateway budget gaming laptops. It bumps the processor all the way up to a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 and the Centrino 2 platform, adds Nvidia's new GeForce 9800M GTS graphics card, and ups the screen resolution to an HD friendly 1,920x1,200. Amazingly, it does all of this for $1,449. Sure, the P-7811FX costs about $100

Samsung Propel SGH-A767

The Propel has a similar design to that of the Verizon Wireless Blitz. They both have a somewhat square shape, and both slide up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. The similarities end there, however. Measuring 3.85 inches long by 2.33 inches wide by 0.58 inch thick, the Propel is much thinner than the Blitz, with a flatter front design.Though it is slightly bowed on the left and right side, the Propel

Sony Ericsson W760a

The W760i features a classic Sony Ericsson slider design that's sure to catch a few eyes on the street. The curved edges and clean lines make for a very attractive phone with some unique style touches. In particular, we liked the textured material on the bottom end of the phone and the shiny metal skin below the camera lens. Three color versions are available fancy black, rocky silver and intense

Sony Ericsson Z750a

Like many Sony Ericsson phones, the Z750a comes in multiple colors phantom gray and rose pink. The pink version, which we examined, isn't as garish as the pink model of the Z310a, but it's still bright and shiny. It shows your reflection, albeit a rose tinted one, and like any mirror, it attracts fingerprints. We weren't crazy about it, to be frank, but it's certainly eye catching. As stated

Pantech C630

There's not much to say about the Pantech C630's design. It has a standard candy bar shape, measuring 4.1 inches tall by 1.7 inches wide by 0.46 inch thick. The overall aesthetic is very simple without any frills. It has rounded corners and a soft touch back cover, so it feels comfortable in the hand. The volume rocker and charger jack sits on the left spine while the microSD card slot and camera

Samsung Glyde SCH-U940

You could say the Glyde resembles the iPhone, but to do so neglects the fact that the Glyde's GSM cousin, the Samsung F700, was born before Apple's device. But even so, the similarities between the handsets are obvious. At 4.09 inches by 1.97 inches by 0.7 inch and at 4.13 ounces, the Glyde is slightly smaller than the F700, but they both rely on a touch screen with a single button just

LG Dare

Like all touch screen phones, the LG Dare's design is dominated by a large display covering almost the entirety of the phone's front surface. Indeed, the only visible keys on the front are the Call, Clear or Voice command, and End or Power keys at the very bottom. The Dare is quite a bit smaller than both the iPhone and the Samsung Instinct, measuring only 4.1 inches long by 2.2 inches wide by

Motorola Krave ZN4

Even two years after its predecessor and look alike emerged from Motorola's factory, the Krave ZN4 still sports one of the most distinctive cell phone designs around. The slim and compact shape (4.13 inches by 2 inches by 0.75 inch and 4.59 ounces), vibrant touch screen, and transparent plastic cover give the Krave a sleek and futuristic look. Though some may wonder why the cover is needed, Moto

LG Voyager VX10000

From the outset, the LG Voyager VX10000 looks more like the iPhone than it does its VX9800 and enV predecessors. Gone are the exterior keypad and tiny external display instead you're greeted by a vibrant touch screen that dominates the front face of the Voyager. As you'd expect from a messaging phone, the Voyager is rather bulky.At 4.64 by 2.12 by 0.71 inches, the Voyager is exactly as tall as

LG Venus VX8800

At first glance, the LG Venus looks a little like the LG Prada with what appears to be a full 3 inch display. A closer look, however, reveals that there are actually two screens the one on top is a regular QVGA display, while the one underneath is a touch screen that shows on screen navigation controls. Measuring 4 inches by 2 inches by 0.62 inch, the Venus has quite a sleek, slender figure with

LG VX9400

At first glance, the VX9400 looks like a basic slider phone. A large (2.2 inch, 320x240 pixels) display hides the dial-pad, leaving only the navigation buttons visible on the front of the unit. But instead of sliding up, the VX9400's display swivels to the left, thus exposing the numeric keypad. When opened, the phone has a T-shaped appearance with the screen assuming a landscape orientation (

Nokia N82

The Nokia N82 is just the latest Nokia N series model to come across our desk, and like the rest of the bunch, it's quite impressive. It has a feature set similar to the Nokia N95, with a couple of additions and omissions. Like the N95, the N82 has a 5 megapixel camera but it also includes a Xenon flash that makes a world of difference, as it produced amazing photos and videos.The Symbian smart

Nokia E66

If we can put aside the disappointing camera, which many of you are probably appalled by now, then the gloom starts to fade and everything looks like clear skies. And let us not forget that there is probably just a bad batch that came out with this Inverted Camera, none the less that is simply inexcusable and if you have an E66 that is suffering from this, you might well return it ASAP for a

The device is very small and hence comfortable to use.Build QualityThe build quality of the device is absolutely brilliant.There are no creaks even though its a slider. The slider is

Nokia N81

The N81 8GB is a really good looking device and its one of the best from Nokia. The build quality is really good. The slider is very solid and does not wobble like the initial N95s. The phone is also quite heavy at 140g which is more than the N95 and N95 8GB which weigh at 120g and 128g respectively. But this is good as the phone feels more real. It feels better to hold than he N95 which is a bit

Nokia N96

Successor of the N95, the N96 is dual slider with both numeric keypad and one for multimedia control.It still has 5 megapixel camera, but now is with 2.8? display, 16GB of memory plus microSD slot and DVB-H for digital TV.It is Symbian S60 Feature Pack 2 smartphone with WiFi, GPS, quad band GSM support and dual band UMTS.

Nokia 6260 Slide

Nokia introduces the Nokia 6260 slide. The phone call is the most obvious way to use the new handset to connect with people, but it will also be used to share photographs and videos, check on a friend�s social network status or be guided to a restaurant to meet up with a loved one.For this, the Nokia 6260 slide features quick access to search engines and points of interest straight from the home

LG Lotus

A recipient of the Red Dot Design Award, the design of the LG Lotus is what sets it apart from most other messaging phones. Sure the Verizon Wireless Blitz also has a square and compact shape, but the LG Lotus is not only small, it's slim and sleek as well. Measuring 3.3 inches wide by 2.4 inches tall by 0.7 inch thick, the Lotus is surprisingly chic despite its squat appearance. It comes in both

Samsung Ace SPH-i325

The Samsung Ace is similar in design to the original Samsung BlackJack, yet there are subtle differences. At 4.6 inches tall by 2.3 inches wide by 0.4 inch deep and 3.9 ounces, the Ace is taller and heavier but thinner than the BlackJack. Its slimness makes the smart phone comfortable to hold and use as a phone, and you'll be able to slip it into a pants pocket.Plus, it has a soft touch finish

Samsung SPH-M520

The SPH-M520 has a design that we've seen many times before from Samsung. In case you haven't noticed, we're growing a little tired of the thin slider phone trend. However, since Samsung keeps pumping them out, we might be in the minority. At 4.01 inches by 2.04 inches by 0.5 inch and 2.75 ounces the SPH-M520 is neither too big nor too small it slips easily into a pocket and it won't weigh you

Nokia N85

The European version of the N85 is already a quad band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) GSM mobile, so all that was required for this new version was the addition of North American 3G compatibility (850, 1900, 2100 MHz).This smart phone is being sold unlocked, and it can be used by customers of AT&T, Rogers, and other GSM carriers. It doesn't, however, offer the unusual version of 3G offered by

Samsung Gravity SGH-T459

When we first took a look at the Samsung Rant from Sprint, we were surprised by how similar it was to the LG Rumor. Both have a thick candy bar appearance with slide out QWERTY keyboards underneath. But the Samsung Gravity looks even more like the LG Rumor, with very minor differences in keypad design the layout is a little different, the keys have a more bubble like texture, and the Gravity

Samsung SAGA

The Samsung Saga falls into the sleek QWERTY category of smart phones and doesn't stray far from the design of the company's other messaging centric devices, including the Samsung Epix and the Samsung Ace. The Saga measures 4.8 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide by 0.5 inch deep and weighs 4.6 ounces, so it's a bit tall but thin enough to not be too cumbersome.It's also light and feels comfortable to

Motorola MPx220

The MPx220 has been rumored for quite a while now. Thanks to a leaked press release, we now know for sure what the MPx220 is all about and that it will see a 3Q 2004 relase.The MPx220 is a clamshell smart phone running Windows Mobile 2003 for smart phone with integrated Bluetooth and a 1.2 MP camera.SpecificationOperating System: Windows Mobile smart phone 2003Memory : 64MB ROMCommunications :

Samsung SGH-A777

In most respects the SGH-A777 doesn't strike new ground in cell phone design. It offers a thin profile (4 inches tall by 1.9 inches wide by 0.5 inch deep), clean lines, and a sliding face that hides the alphanumeric keypad. Yet, unlike many of its silver Samsung counterparts, the SGH-A777 comes in red and blue versions. We reviewed the blue handset, but the features are the same on both

MWg Zinc II

The Zinc II has a traditional PDA form factor. The front is dominated by the QVGA (320 by 240 pixel) screen. Below this is a directional pad flanked by the green and red call buttons. Unlike many other Windows Mobile devices, the Zinc II does not have additional application buttons on the front facade, nor does it have hard buttons that duplicated the function of the soft buttons which appear on

RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220

The Pearl Flip sports the new BlackBerry OS 4.6, same basic build as the new BlackBerry Bold. The most obvious improvement about the OS is the new wire frame default aesthetic theme. Though nice, the real benefits of the new OS lay elsewhere, though. Sheet To GoA quick jaunt to the Applications folder reveals a full suite of Microsoft Office like applications, known as DataViz Documents To Go.The

Samsung Eternity

The Eternity has all the hallmarks of a touch screen phone. It has a rectangular candy bar shape with a slim profile (4.3 inches by 2.2 inches by 0.5 inch) and a large display. The Eternity is 3.88 ounces, a bit lighter than some of its counterparts, but it retains a sturdy feel in the hand. The black color scheme is simple but attractive we like the glossy material that surrounds the display and

Samsung Epix

Despite the similarity, the Epix is not being marketed as a successor to the Samsung BlackJack and BlackJack II models. And for good reason a lot of that look is skin deep. The most obvious difference is that the Epix has a touchscreen, and runs the more complex Windows Mobile Pro version of the platform more on this later.It also looks black in the publicity photos, which led me to be surprised

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

Fast forward to now, where the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is finally ready for release and we've had a chance to spend some time with the final product. The X1 panel interface is undoubtedly cool, and we like having that extra level of personalization. It's also a well crafted handset with a strong set of features and good performance.However, we have big doubts about its success. Unfortunately, the

Celio Redfly

Although at first glance this model resembles a subnotebook, the Redfly works completely differently. It serves as an accessory for a smart phone, and does not act as a stand alone computer. When Celio's device is connected to a Windows Mobile phone, either by Bluetooth or USB, any application on the smart phone is shown on the Mobile Companion's 800 by 480 pixel (WVGA) display without

BlackBerry Bold 9000

RIM has dramatically improved the looks of its devices in recent years, and the Bold is a new high point. Its rounded corners and leather textured back make it somehow both professional and sexy. And the higher resolution screen is great, too. The Bold has a 320 by 480 pixel display, which is at least twice the resolution of the earlier RIM models, like the Curve.This is a beautiful screen that

HTC Touch Pro

From straight on, the HTC Touch Pro looks much like its sibling, the HTC Touch Diamond, with its sleek, smoky mirrored face, rounded edges, and attractive silver trim. Of course, the big difference is the addition of the slide out QWERTY keyboard, which is a boon for messaging fanatics but also consequently adds some bulk to the smart phone.At 4 inches tall by 2 inches wide by 0.7 inch deep and

Nokia N96

The N96 is an evolution of the dual slider design Nokia released with the N95 two years ago. However, compared to the initial N95, the N96 is not as thick, though it's wider. The slider is more taut, and there are fewer gaps in the build. This model has a 2.8 inch, QVGA screen. While not a touchscreen, it does offer striking color and a great balance between indoors viewing and outdoors needs.The

T-Mobile G1 (Black)

On September 23, the world was officially introduced to the HTC Dream, now known as the T-Mobile G1, and the initial reaction ranged from "That's it?" to "I have to have it!" Unfortunately, we fell more into the "That's it?" camp. The G1 definitely offers some functionality the original iPhone and the current iPhone 3G do not, including copy and paste capabilities, multimedia messaging, a better

LG Incite

The LG Incite has the distinction of being the first smart phone from LG released by a major U.S. wireless carrier. It runs the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile, and includes a wQVGA touchscreen, 3G, and Wi-Fi.The first thing that I said about the Incite was that it reminded me of the Palm Zire 71. You have to understand, the Zire 71 spent a long time in my pocket, and it had a form

Samsung Behold SGH-T919

The Samsung Behold's candy bar design resembles previous touch screen phones like the Omnia and the Dare. Below the prominent touch screen are the few physical controls; the camera lens sits on the phone's rear face. It's not terribly unique, but it is slick and eye catching. You can get it in two colors (espresso or rose), but the features are the same on both models.At 4.12 inches tall by 2.1
