TECHNOLOGY -- WHAT TO BUY -- PHONES
They're not cheap, but these all-in-one devices can make life easier
PHONE PRICE SIZE THE SKINNY
SAMSUNG SPH I300 $499 4.9 x 2.3" / 6 oz. Screen will stick to your
samsung.com cheek-still, it's the
slickest of the bunch.
ERICSSON R380 WORLD $499 5.1 x 2" / 5.8 oz. Low on memory, but clever
ericsson.com design gives it a sleek
look.
MOTOROLA ACCOMPLI 009 $550 3.8 x 2.8" / Clamshell mini-typewriter
motorola.com 5.7 oz. design makes typing
cumbersome.
KYOCERA QCP 6035 $429 5.6 x 2.5" / Bulky but functional. Get
kyocera.com 7.3 oz. up to $80 off if you buy
the device from service
provider Sprint PCS.
HANDSPRING VISORPHONE $299 6.0 x 3.0" / Nice try, but it looks
handspring.com 9.8 oz too much like a geeky
Pocket PC and too
little like a cool phone.
