...insurgents' building blossoms black smoke. Over the cacophony of machine-gun fire and explosions, the leader of the commando team bellows to his men that the insurgents have spotted them. "Displace, displace--they got our position!" he yells, as the troops vacate the open rooftop in a stooped sprint...
...drawback, as with all new tech toys, is the price. Verizon, which spent $1 billion to upgrade its lines and now offers the service in more than 50 cities, charges $80 a month, along with a one-time hardware fee of $150, occasionally minus rebates or company discounts.

Jittery investors have driven RIM's stock down 15% this year. Still, BlackBerry season isn't over. RIM is trying to maintain its dominance by licensing its software to mobile-phone makers using different operating systems. "This isn't game breaking," says...
While most Americans past eighth grade seem to consider cell phones as vital as air, kids under 13 have remained largely unfettered. That may be changing. The Walt Disney Internet Group announced in early July that it is teaming up with Sprint to develop a line of mobile phones, due out next year, aimed squarely at preteen children. Meanwhile, the market is already filling up. In March, Firefly Mobile debuted a model designed for the lunch-box set.
