T-Mobile G1
Google's mobile operating system debuts
on this understated handset packed with hardware treats, like a small
keyboard beneath the slide-out touchscreen and a nimble trackball for
better navigation. But what really makes it stand up to the iPhone are
the nifty map program (left), with 360 degree street views, and the many
free add-ons from the Android Market.
Price:$180

The BlackBerry Storm
It's not enough for a phone to have
just a touchscreen anymore. That's why the newest BlackBerry, which goes
on sale in November, has a clickable screen for opening e-mails and
launching Web pages. The tactile feedback helps minimize mistakes.

The Aliph Jawbone
This state-of-the-art Bluetooth headset

while walking down the street, but at least you'll look good doing it.
Half as big as the original Jawbone, it now has military-grade
noise-canceling too.
Price:$130
