Cellphones
Most Popular
LG Voyager – VX10000
Though we had some minor complaints here and there, the Voyager’s sleek design, generous feature set and excellent performance make it the best LG messaging and multimedia phone by far.
Specs:CDMA 800/1900, Up to 240 min, With digital camera / digital player, 4.69 oz.
Samsung Glyde SCH-U940
The Samsung Glyde is a powerful cell phone with decent performance, but its touch-screen design and controls don’t complement its features.
AT&T Tilt
The AT&T Tilt promises to be the carrier’s most powerful smart phone for business users with its full range of wireless options, Windows Mobile 6, and innovative tilt screen.
Specs:GSM 850/900/1800/1900 / UMTS 850/1900/2100, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, Up to 240 min, 128 MB.
LG enV(2)
The LG enV(2) is not much more than a slimmed down version of the enV, but it still serves as an excellent high-end messaging phone.
RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 – silver
The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 improves on an already-impressive smartphone with the addition of GPS, video recording, and 3G support.
Specs:CDMA2000 1X 800/1900, BlackBerry Handheld Software, 220 min, 64 MB.
Samsung SCH-i760
The Samsung SCH-i760 goes big (literally), delivering a solid set of features and good performance to Verizon customers looking for a business-centric smartphone.
Specs:Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, 64 MB.
Motorola Z9 (AT&T)
The Z9 may not offer anything new but it’s a fine cell phone in all regards. It offers an attractive design, a great feature set, and superb call quality.
Specs:WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 240 min, With digital camera / digital player, 4.9 oz.
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330
Though we wish the smartphone supported Verizon’s VCast multimedia services, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is still an excellent smartphone that delivers on call quality and of course, e-mail.
Specs:CDMA2000 1X 800/1900, BlackBerry Handheld Software, Up to 260 min.
Nokia E90 Communicator
The Nokia E90 Communicator has a feature set as large as its size, satisfying the needs of the power business users. That said, we’re disappointed by the lack of 3G.
Specs:Up to 300 min.
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Sprint)
Despite some spotty call quality, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint is a great messaging device with the bonus of EV-DO and integrated GPS. Plus, it offers more services than the Verizon BlackBerry Curve.
Specs:CDMA2000 1X 800/1900, BlackBerry Handheld Software, Up to 260 min.
