...phone of my own. Naturally, it would have to be far cooler than my wife's. Also, it would need to be one of the new generation of phones that would let me browse the Web virtually anywhere. After a few minutes of research, I settled on the Motorola StarTac 7860 ($240). I decided to buy it partly because it's the latest in Motorola's venerable line of lightweight (4.4 oz.), pocket-size flip phones.
