In
a world of drab-looking or techno-centric cell phones, Bang & Olufsen’s
Serene Mobile sets itself apart with subtle curves and distinctive Danish
styling that is characteristic of all of this company’s products. 
This
phone and Verizon Wireless’ V Cast service combine to deliver real-time
television viewing that works as intuitively and easily on a cell phone
as it does on a TV. There’s even an electronic program guide. 
Available
exclusively through Sprint, this phone is as distinctive as it is diminutive
so don’t be surprised if passersby strain to get a glimpse of it as you
converse on it. But its two-sided design -- cell phone on one side, MP3
player on the other -- is as practical as it is eye-catching. 
Lost
in all the hype of folks queuing up to get one? Are you now one of those
same folks outraged by the 33 percent price drop just weeks after the
product’s release? This is a testament to the fact that the iPhone is
a remarkably robust and easy-to-use smart phone. Available only through
AT&T, it’s also a wonderful—or damnable—conversation starter. 
This
model packs prodigious productivity features into a slim, elegant design.
A qwerty keyboard, Internet browser, push-to-talk capability, and Blackberry’s
e-mail functions help you stay on top of your business and personal affairs.
AT&T offers the 8800; Verizon and Sprint offer the 8830. 
The
smallest, lightest Blackberry with a full qwerty keyboard is a sensuously
curved beauty that provides all of the power, features, and intuitive
interface that have made RIM’s smartphones the first choice of those who
place a priority on productivity.
