...really worth an extra $100 (or more) to step up to 5.8 GHz? Maybe. When I tried out the Panasonic KX-TC1481B, a $39 900-MHz model, I could hear other conversations and even music coming through the phone. I got much clearer reception with the Motorola MA351, a $60 2.4-GHz model--except when I turned on my microwave oven and was assaulted by weird vibrating noises coming through the handset. Still, the Motorola is a decent option at a fair price...
...phones are wireless, why aren't the headsets that go with them? More and more of them are, thanks to the new Bluetooth technology developed by a consortium of electronics manufacturers to connect various digital components over short distances. This year brought a slew of Bluetooth earpieces from Jabra, Motorola, Nokia Plantronics and Sony Ericsson. Now you can walk around town with your cell phone tucked away in your pocket or briefcase and a tiny headset tucked into your ear. The biggest drawback (besides looking like a Secret Service agent): the headsets need to be charged regularly, just like your...
...handset manufacturers start putting CTP in mobile phones. Nokia says it sees no business case in the short term for CTP, claiming that there are easier ways to reduce mobile-phone bills.

At some point, customers are presumably going to demand CTP, if analysts' predictions turn out to be true. Market-analysis...
While growing up in Tripoli, Ramadan, 34, developed video games for the neighborhood kids. Today the CEO of 4thpass, a Seattle-based software start-up, could just buy them an arcade. Last month Motorola acquired 4thpass--which provides Java services to wireless-phone carriers in South Korea, Spain and the U.S.--for more than $20 million. Ramadan will stay at 4thpass for a year to help integrate operations...
...biggest four-day rise in a decade, surging over 10% on encouraging earnings. But like the days of irrational exuberance, it soon ended. Sure, banks earned more, but only by increasing consumer debt - raising larger economic doubts. Yes, Finland's Nokia showed that mobiles can still make money; but Motorola didn't. And while shares in German software-maker sap rocketed 32%, investors worried about companies cutting costs rather than raising sales. Volatility is the new buzzword: yet London's market ended the week up 5%, Germany's up 7%, and New York's up 6%. In short, stocks...
