Cell Phones Get Smarter

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.
