Samsung Omnia Pro

It looks like a BlackBerry but behaves like an old-school Windows Mobile. Samsung's Omnia Pro struggles to deliver on our basic expectations of what a smartphone should be.

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.

Reviews

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

There are a few places we can understand that Nokia could skimp on when it comes to a budget handset — build quality and call clarity, however, are not examples of these areas.
LG New Chocolate Slide

LG's New Chocolate Slide is the beauty queen of mobile phones; it's a sleek, sexy handset with precious little going on under the glowing lights and glossy black exterior.
Motorola Milestone

The Milestone handles online tasks as well as any other smartphone and its excellent performance makes it a pleasure to use.
Nokia N900

What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.
Nokia 6700 Slide

The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.
Samsung HD Icon

If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.
Samsung Omnia Icon

Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
