Cell phones are going straight to video. New models from Nokia, Sanyo and Toshiba enable you to record and send 15-sec. video clips as well as stills. But considering that prices range from $199 for the Nokia 3650 and $350 for the Sanyo VM4500, you might want to wait for the next generation. The mini-movies on these camcorder phones are grainy, and sending clips via e-mail is clumsy because common keyboard symbols, like @ and _, are hard to find on all three phones.

She hardly ever uses her regular digital camera anymore, even though it takes sharper pictures than the phone cam, because she doesn't like the hassle of carrying it around. "I always have my phone with me," she says...
...other end of the scale is Sprint's Sanyo SCP-5300 ($399). Here the lens is built in, the screen is relatively crisp, and there's even a small display on the front of the phone where pictures of your friends can appear every time they call you.
