...love laptops. I never stray too far without mine, an HP Pavilion dv1000. I bring up my bias because, for $350, the Nokia 770 will do almost everything you'd want a laptop to do-download music, browe the web, send e-mail and much more. And at just over 8 ounces, it's a lot easier to carry around...
...PHONES The Nokia 7380 2-megapixel camera phone features voice dialing, an MP3 player and FM stereo. Motorola's PEBL sports a smooth oval form with a dual-hinge mechanism to open and close the device with one swift, delicate motion. The VTech i5871 5.8-GHz cordless phone is part of a system expandable to eight handsets using only one phone jack; other highlights include a digital answering device, color handset display and dual caller ID.

Even though its mobile-phone shipments grew twice as much as Nokia's or SonyEricsson's in the third quarter, Motorola is still facing huge challenges. Manufacturers in China and South Korea are hot on Motorola's tail. When they figure out (and that is when, not if) how to make phones as cool as the Razr, there's little doubt they will produce them faster and more cheaply. Motorola's stock is up 58% since Zander took over as CEO, but it has been hovering around $20 for the past four months, despite seven straight quarters of double-digit...
...high-quality plastic that looks and feels like brushed metal. When a farmer in rural India spends a third of his household's monthly income on a phone, she says, "we want to make sure that people are proud of what they have." The strategy is modeled on Nokia's. By far the leader in India, with 65% of the market, Nokia pioneered the portfolio approach to selling phones in a developing market...
