Feature rich, even for a loaded Sprint PCS phone, the A700 has voice recognition and a 1-megapixel camera and camcorder, plus news, sports and weather in streaming video

2. BlackBerry 7100t

RIM's BlackBerry may have a corporate following, but the latest is business casual. It juggles personal and work e-mail and is small enough to fit in your pocket

3. Sony Ericsson S710

When swiveled shut, the 710 looks like one of Sony's Cyber-shot cameras. It shoots like one too, with 1-megapixel resolution and a slot for a Memory Stick card

4. Motorola V710

A major leap forward for Verizon Wireless, this is the carrier's first phone to combine true voice recognition with a speakerphone and wireless connectivity for headsets

5. Motorola HS820 Bluetooth Headset
