...Motorola Talkabout T6310 and Kenwood's FreeTalk UBZ-JH14 were close seconds. If you can stomach the $300-a-pair list price on the rugged-looking Talkabouts, you'll be treated to a built-in weather channel, FM radio, alarm clock, stopwatch and multiple privacy modes to keep your calls from being interrupted or overheard. The menus, however, are so loaded down with extras (including 10 different beeps) that it's hard to find the basics. The best feature on Kenwood's Freetalk ($230 a pair) is the ability to scan for a free channel--a big timesaver...
...behind WAP, or wireless application protocol. Like packet switching or HTML, it doesn't sound like much, but it's vitally important to the future of the Internet. WAP lays out the rules for squeezing the best of the Net onto that Nokia (or Ericsson or Motorola) in your pocket.

Nothing is clear at this point; cell phones could be perfectly safe, or they could be the handheld equivalent of a brain microwave. With...
What really seemed cool to me was the Talkabout T900, another gizmo from Motorola that's also going on sale this week. A tad larger and heavier than the V phone, the T900 opens up like a makeup case to reveal a miniature keyboard and screen about twice the size of the V phone's display. You can't make calls with the T900, but you can send and receive e-mail. You can also get daily news, sports, weather and entertainment updates. Even better, it costs half as much as the V phone, and monthly fees from PageNet start...
