Axuus 1 (Windows)

Axuus is an ingeniously fun and addictive puzzle. The game is deceptively simple, like Tetris, but also deeply absorbing. There are two modes of play, each requiring different strategies and thought processes. The line mode requires you to form three or more balls of the same type by moving the...

Nokia 2705 Shade - black (Verizon Wireless)

Photo gallery:Nokia ShadeMost of Nokia's recent cell phones for the U.S. market haven't been too exciting. Sure, the company gave us the odd Nokia Twist last month, but we're more likely to see functional handsets like AT&T's Nokia Mural 6750. Verizon's new Nokia Shade 2705 certainly is part of that...

Samsung SPH-M330 - silver (Sprint)

Sprint's Samsung SPH-M330 is the next step above the Samsung SPH-M240. It's also designed mainly for basic communication, but the M330 adds Bluetooth and a VGA camera. The result is a functional handset with an unremarkable design. Call quality is decent, and the M330 is free with service. DesignThe M330...

Motorola Debut i865 (Boost Mobile)

Most iDEN push-to-talk phones are quite bulky, and come in either a clamshell or candy bar form factor. The Motorola Debut for Boost Mobile, however, bucks that trend. It is the first ever iDEN push-to-talk phone to come in a slider design, which gives it a rather svelte appearance. Aside...

Samsung M240 (Sprint)

The same day it introduced the touch-screen Samsung Rogue, Samsung quietly unveiled the Samsung M240. Made for Sprint, the M240 is all about communication. Features are few--you don't even get Bluetooth--and the simple flip-phone design lends itself to making calls. On that front it does a decent job, but its...

Samsung SGH-T659 (T-Mobile)

Photo gallery:Samsung SGH-T659 (T-Mobile)Samsung, we have a message for you: 2006 called and it wants its phone back. All right, maybe that's mean, but the fact remains that the Samsung SGH-T659 exhibits a design trend that was popular three years ago. And as features go, the SGH-T659 offers nothing that...

Verizon Wireless Escapade

If you wanted to use a cell phone in the U.S. and abroad, we would usually recommend you get a quad-band GSM handset if you were an AT&T or a T-Mobile customer, or a dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone if you were a Verizon Wireless or a Sprint customer. So far, the...

Razer Megalodon headset

We recently took a look at two wired PC gaming headsets that rest in the midrange spectrum. While the P21 from Turtle Beach performed well as a PC headset, we wish it offered an option to expand to surround sound. The G330 from Logitech also performed well--not to...

Xbox 360: Played x5 more than Wii, x5 more likely to fail that PS3

360 is sorta like owning an old sports carYou love the thing, but hate that it breaks down all the time. The reason people are so loyal to the 360 is that the software and game library are fantastic. The controllers work great and are durable without any gimmicks. When...

Cricket TXTM8

When the Verizon Wireless Blitz came out late last year, we were quite taken by the handset's cute and compact shape, even though some thought it looked a little fat and squat. So when we saw at CTIA that PCD, the maker of the Blitz, was coming out with similar...

LG LX-290 - black (Sprint)

Despite the many advanced feature phones out there, there's definitely still a market for simpler phones without too many bells and whistles. Take the LG LX290 from Sprint, for example, which doesn't even have 3G or a music player. It does, however, offer GPS with turn-by-turn direction, plenty of e-mail...

Are legacy game consoles making a comeback?

I am not a gamer. I don't spend hours of my time in front of a computer screen playing games because quite simply, I don't have the time. That is until this summer when I moved into my new house, everyone else buggered off back to their respective homes around...

Now that U.S. Cellular finally has taken notice of CNET, we've had the opportunity to review a range of the carrier's phones, from sweet multimedia handsets to models built for texting. The new Samsung Axle SCH-r311 falls into neither camp, but it's an acceptable phone for basic communication. Its...

LG LX370 - silver (Sprint)

Recent LG phones for Sprint like the LG Rumor 2 and the LG Lotus have been very messaging-centric, but that doesn't mean LG doesn't have other form factors up its Sprint sleeve. The LG LX370 has a far more traditional slider style, and not in an unattractive way either. We...

LG Glance (Verizon Wireless)

Just when we thought the days of the skinny phone were behind us, LG surprises us with yet another thin handset. The LG Glance is one of the slimmest phones we've ever seen, at only 0.38 inch thick. It has quite an elegant design overall, and though it's a rather...
