- Nokia 3711 - sable (T-Mobile)
- Nokia fans in the United States don't get many breaks. Few of the company's phones make it to U.S. carriers and the models that land here tend to be basic handsets for making calls. The Nokia 3711 for T-Mobile is one such phone. Simple in form and function, the 3711...

- Sonim XP3 Quest (unlocked)
- Photo gallery:Sonim XP3 QuestThe Sonim XP3 Quest is the update to the Sonim XP1 that we reviewed last year. If you thought the XP1 was strong--and believe us when we say that it was--the XP3 goes a step further by being completely waterproof like the G'zOne handsets. If that isn't...

- Sony Ericsson W518a Walkman (AT&T)
- AT&T gave Sony Ericsson fans a two-part surprise in July when the carrier introduced the Cyber-shot C905a and Walkman W518a. Sporting a familiar design and a music-friendly feature set, the W518a doesn't have the C905's high-end shooter, but it has its attractions. Music quality is respectable and you get a...

- Samsung SGH-T119 (T-Mobile)
- The Samsung SGH-T119 had a low profile when it made its appearance at CES 2009. As a simple candy-bar phone for making calls, it couldn't quite compete with such T-Mobile siblings as the Motorola Renew W233 and the second version of the T-Mobile Shadow. But as basic it may be,...

- Samsung Byline SCH-R310 (MetroPCS)
- The Samsung Byline is the perfect example of a Metro PCS cell phone. Compact, easy to use, and functional, it's designed for making calls, sending messages, and simple Web browsing. The Byline, aka the SCH-R310, shuns all multimedia extras--you won't even find a VGA camera--but it offers Bluetooth and voice...

- Huawei M328 (MetroPCS)
- It's not often that we get to review a cell phone from a new company (at least, new to us). That's why we requested to examine the Huawei M328 from MetroPCS. Though it's hardly the flashiest phone around--it doesn't even have a camera--we wanted to see what the Chinese company...

- Nokia 2600 - black (AT&T)
- Photo gallery:Nokia 2600Nokia is no slouch when it comes to designing high-end cell phones, but the company's bread and butter remains simple handsets for making calls. That's where Nokia got its start, and that's where its focus remains for developing markets. The new Nokia 2600 for AT&T fits this mold...

- Nokia 1680 (T-Mobile)
- Photo gallery:Nokia 1680In an age of thin phones and slider handsets, T-Mobile's Nokia 1680 takes you back a few years in cell phone design. But we don't mean that as a bad thing. In fact, it's rather nice to see a simple candy bar handset with tried-and-true design aesthetics. The...

- Photo gallery:Sony Ericsson C902Sony Ericsson has never been one to shy away from the high-powered camera phone. Its Cyber-shot series, which includes the Sony Ericsson K850i that we reviewed earlier this year, offers a solid set of handsets that exceed both at taking pictures and making calls. At the GSMA...

This review will concentrate on the differences between the two devices.When Motorola introduced AT&T's Motorola Razr V9 last year, we were pleasantly surprised. Instead of a simple revamp...

- Samsung Sway SCH-U650 (Verizon Wireless)
- It's clear that Samsung loves two things: slim slider phones and midrange camera phones with a flip design. Indeed, we've seen a deluge of such models over the last few years, with the latest in the slider camp being the Samsung SCH-U650 for Verizon Wireless. Also called the Sway, (why,...

- Samsung M220 - blue (Sprint)
- Think of the Samsung SPH-M220 as the low-end alternative to the already basic Samsung SPH-M320. While both handsets are designed primarily for communication, the SPH-M220 ditches all frills except for Bluetooth. Yet, the result is a simple and easy-to-use handset with decent call quality. This isn't a handset for extreme...

The premise is so simple that we're surprised more carriers haven't adopted it. With just a Wi-Fi-enabled phone you can use most hot spots to make VOIP calls that...

- Though Verizon Wireless ruled the mobile TV roost for more than a year, AT&T finally offered Big Red some competition last month with the launch of AT&T Mobile TV. Like V Cast Mobile TV, AT&T's service offers stunning video quality, but its real appeal depends entirely on the handsets that...

- Samsung SPH-M520
- When we first saw the photos of Sprint's new Samsung SPH-M520, we have to admit that we shook our head in bewilderment. For a while now, we've been asking Samsung to give us something completely new, and as yet another slim slider phone in silver, the SPH-M520 definitely wasn't it....

So no matter how great Verizon Wireless' network is in the United States, that doesn't help you when you travel to the majority of...

You have seen it somewhere before, two places to be exact. It inherits its design from the Samsung SGH-D900 and the SGH-T629. Like its predecessors, it offers...
