- 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...

- Samsung JetSet SCH-r550 (Cricket)
- Since we're new to reviewing Cricket phones, we wanted to seek out handsets that were unique to the carrier and were about more than just making calls. The Motorola Hint QA30 was one such model, and the Samsung JetSet falls into that camp as well. Also called the SCH-r510, the...

- Overcoming the laptop wall
- Overcoming the laptop wallSeems fairly simpleIn my opinion, either:Construct the firewall and proxy services of the university properly so that the wireless network that students can connect to is tightly limited on what websites they can access, or potentially only the intranet. Only allow full inet access to hard wired...

- Sony Ericsson W995a
- Photo gallery:Sony Ericsson W995aSometimes, we get excited about the little things. For example, when we first saw the Sony Ericsson W995a at GSMA 2009 we got excited not because it has an 8.1-megapixel camera and a Walkman player--we've seen those before--but because it had a 3.5-millimeter headset jack and kickstand....

- Not every cell phone on Earth needs to pack in all the bells and whistles found on ultra-high-end models like the iPhone. But for those who still want a fair amount of extras at an affordable price, there are handsets like the Samsung Smooth (aka the SCH-U350). This basic mobile...

- Kyocera Jax S1300 (Virgin Mobile)
- The Kyocera Jax for Virgin Mobile is the opposite of the carrier's Kyocera X-tc. While the X-tc offers a midrange feature set and a full keyboard for texting, the Jax is just a simple handset for making calls. The basic candy bar design holds no surprises and the feature set...

- Kyocera X-tc (Virgin Mobile)
- While the other carriers have completely embraced full QWERTY handsets, Virgin Mobile's been lacking in that department. Up until now, there have only been two choices: the Helio Ocean 2, which might be too fancy for some, and the outdated Kyocera Wild Card, which debuted back in 2007. Fortunately, there...
