Pros: Small, Sleek, Lightweight, excellent sound quality and battery life.
Cons: Camera sucks, side shortcut buttons too sensitive, gets dirty too easily. Expensive!
The Bottom Line: Nice phone with good sound quality. Do not buy if you are only interested in a camera because the camera is horrible. Powerful features for both techie & business users.

Pros: Small, easy to use, doubles as my desktop & mp3 player
Cons: keyboard is small, but it's a decent tradeoff
The Bottom Line: Thanks to upgradeable memory there's nothing it can't do. The blackberry pearl does it all despite the teeny size.

Pros: A solid performing PDA that excels in wifi browsing, music playing and general uses.
Cons: Built in battery, no microphone and it maybe the last Palm OS.
The Bottom Line: If you're not an uber-geek or power business type, then this is the pda to get for the real world.

Pros: Great phone! Sleek and multi-functional. Smart phone with all 4 GSM bands!
Cons: Can be expensive. Can be intimidating to those not savy with electronics.
The Bottom Line: You want a phone that does it all while looking good? This is it! Grab your phone and never be "off-line" again. Great reception too!

Pros: Attractive, compact, multi-function, user-friendly setup disc for Windows.
Cons: Setup a hassle, NO USB CABLE?!?!, ONLY 2 ink cartridges
The Bottom Line: As long as your USB port and cable work fine, it should be a cakewalk to setup and use and you'll be happy with the results.
