Cell Phones

LG Decoy (Verizon Wireless)
The LG Decoy is an excellent phone on its own, but the addition of a built-in Bluetooth headset puts it over the top.
Sony Ericsson K850i - black (unlocked)
Though its navigation controls and keypad aren't up to par, the Sony Ericsson K850i is one of the finest camera phones we've seen.
Sony Ericsson P990i (Unlocked)
The Sony Ericsson P990i may be the perfect smart phone for tech-minded consumers, but its exorbitantly high price may put a lot of people off.
Samsung SPH-i500 (Sprint)
It may not be for heavy e-mail use, but the compact i500 is one of the most civil marriages of a phone and a PDA that we've seen to date.
Samsung SCH-i730 (Verizon Wireless)
Small, light, and powerful, the Samsung SCH-i730's high-speed data support and built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi make it an excellent choice for those who have to stay connected at all times, though the crippled Bluetooth support may spoil the party for laptop road warriors.
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 - red (AT&T)
Still offering an attractive design and excellent messaging capabilities, the addition of GPS makes the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 an even more attractive choice for road warriors.
Apple iPhone 3G (16GB, white)
The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper performance. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. We still have a few gripes, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.
Wi-Ex zBoost YX510-PCS-CEL cell phone signal extender
Though the Wi-Ex zBoost YX510-PCS-CEL cell phone signal booster may take some time to set up, it offers exceptional performance.
LG Voyager - VX10000 (Verizon Wireless)
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.
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 - titanium (T-Mobile)
The RIM BlackBerry Curve (aka BlackBerry 8320) for T-Mobile is the best BlackBerry we've seen to date as it offers Wi-Fi, best-of-breed design, and excellent performance.
Nokia N90 (Unlocked)
It's a startling combination of image capture, music playback, and communications capabilities in a clever but bulky Transformers-like package. However, at more than $900 for an unlocked model, the Nokia N90 is not for the faint of wallet.
RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 - titanium (AT&T)
Still offering an attractive design and excellent messaging capabilities, the addition of GPS makes the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 an even more attractive choice for road warriors.
RIM BlackBerry 7130c (AT&T)
The RIM BlackBerry 7130c is an excellent phone and e-mail device for consumers and professionals alike; plus, it's one of the best-designed BlackBerrys we've seen to date.
LG CU500V (AT&T)
The LG CU500V is one of the fastest phones we've ever tried, with swift downloads, impressive video-streaming speeds, and the ability to make video calls with AT&T's Video Share service. The feature set is impressive; the picture and audio quality are great; and the slim, attractive design is a bonus.
LG CU500 (AT&T)
The LG CU500 is one of the fastest phones we've ever tried, with swift downloads and impressive video streaming speeds. The feature set is impressive; the picture and audio quality are great; and the slim, attractive design is a bonus.
