 The CDM180 phone from Verizon Wireless takes the classic clamshell design and widens it a bit, enabling the phone to sport a unique widescreen display under the flip. Plus, the CDM180 features dual 262,000-color displays, a speakerphone, a VGA camera with video capture, voice dialing, and more.
Design
The key benefit of the CDM180's flattened frame is that it accommodates a widescreen 160 x 128 display. The advantages of such a display become clear when you take a picture or video with the VGA (640 x 480) camera unit, which is housed in the top of the device. Instead of having to hold the phone sideways, you can view your subjects as you would on a dedicated digital camera, making framing your shots much easier. A wider screen also makes viewing menus and numbers easier. Plus, gaming is way more fun with more screen real estate. A smaller secondary color LCD display on the back of the cover displays incoming call information, network signal strength, and more. Most camera features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Meanwhile, an external antenna is placed on the top right side of the unit.
Calling Features
The CDM180's built-in address book can store your contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones and it also supports MP3 ringtones. There's also a vibrating alert for those times when you want to be discreet. Meanwhile, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911. Voice dialing makes calling contacts as easy as saying their names. Lastly, the phone's picture and ringer ID system allows you to assign pictures and ringtones to your most common callers. |

 An update to the BlackBerry 7100t, the BlackBerry 7105t features minor but useful enhancements to help you communicate on the go more effectively. Improvements include enhanced screen visibility in all lighting situations, larger send and end keys, and more contoured keys for easier text and number entry. The BlackBerry 7105t is a fully-featured mobile phone that delivers the power of BlackBerry e-mail. It's also loaded with all of the cool features you want, like integrated Bluetooth connectivity, speakerphone, and downloadable ringtones. Plus, surf the Web the way it was meant to be surfed with an ultra-large, high-resolution color screen.
Design
Design-wise, the BlackBerry 7105t is a departure from the form factor of previous BlackBerry devices. This BlackBerry handset is far more phone-like, and RIM's engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset's slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, makes the BlackBerry 7105t handset's diminutive size possible. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.
The BlackBerry 7105t sports a large 240 x 260 screen that supports over 65,000 colors-- plenty of real estate to view your e-mails, Web browser content, messaging sessions, and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel is located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through menus and e-mails. A speakerphone is housed in the top portion of the rear of the handset, just above the removable battery door. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset.

 Combining the software and features of the Treo 700p with the slimmer, antenna-less 680/750 form-factor, the Palm 755p from Sprint handles everything you want from a smartphone--direct push email (via Microsoft Direct Push Technology), powerful PIM organization, multimedia playback, and still photo and video capture. It operates on Sprint's North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO), which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications. The Treo 755p also features Google Maps for mobile, MiniSD memory card expansion, 1.3-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets.
For email, the Treo 755p now offers VersaMail 3.5.4 with built-in Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support for Microsoft Direct Push Technology, which delivers automatic updates to Outlook email. Businesses connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server get fast, automatic wireless updates of email, calendar and contact information with added IT security and remote manageability. Also new to the Treo 755p is the Google Maps service for mobile, built into the Treo's ROM. You'll be able to get directions, perform local searches, and view moveable/scalable maps, satellite imagery, and traffic updates while on the go.
If your laptop is Bluetooth enabled, you can connect the Treo 755p wirelessly and enjoy dial-up networking (DUN)--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server--using Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network, which is available in more than 11,000 cities and 1,000 airports. With the power of EV-DO, you can also stream audio or video--such as from Sprint TV--or download ringtones, pictures, and video clips to your Treo smartphone or a MiniSD expansion card (sold separately). Where coverage is available, EV-DO connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps, with peak rates up to 2 Mbps.

 With a brilliant color screen, support for polyphonic ringtones, a speakerphone, and more, the svelte Sanyo SCP-200 makes a great entry-level phone for those who want a simple mobile companion. It's also the perfect way to take advantage of Sprint's basic wireless services.
Design
The SCP-200 follows the tried and true clamshell form factor. The large 128 x 128 color screen features support for 65,000 colors, while the phone's center selection button allows you to control the phone's menus and features. A 2.5 mm headphone jack provides compatibility with most handsfree headsets. Meanwhile, on the outside of the front cover, you'll find a large speaker for the phone's speakerphone functions.
Calling Features
The SCP-200's built-in address book allows you to assign up to 300 entries, each storing seven numbers, with a total capacity of up to 500 numbers, and 300 email and Web addresses. As mentioned, polyphonic ringtones are included, and you can choose from eight multi-chord melodic ring tones and eight traditional ring tones. There's also a vibrating alert for when you want to be discreet. Plus, the handy speakerphone makes it easy to talk to callers without having the phone to your ear. The speakerphone also doubles as an audible voice machine that lets you screen your calls. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the SCP-200 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Sprint's digital PCS network, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas. Lastly, a voice dialing feature makes it possible to call your contacts by simply speaking their names.
