RIM BLACKBERRY PEARL $200
(with 2-year contract and rebate)
The most attractive device to receive e-mail this year, the Pearl isn't your lawyer's BlackBerry. It's very easy to use (though Hotmail users are left out), and given its size, the battery life is great.
Plan: T-Mobile's Get More 600-min. plan with unlimited nights and weekends costs $40 a month. Unlimited e-mail and Web browing on the BlackBerry are an additional $20 a month.
Base Monthly Fee: $60
