Attention, Blackberry addicts: your new object of desire has just been unveiled, and it’s by far the prettiest Blackberry yet. The Blackberry Bold is the new high-end offering from RIM, coming this summer to AT&T and its high speed 3G network with a T-Mobile version soon to follow.

What do you get for going Bold? Well, you get the same push email that has had you addicted for so long already. Couple that with internet access on a fast wireless connection and GPS location enhancement and your smartphone really lives up to its name. It’s got a beautiful, detailed 480 x 320 resolution screen with 65,000 colors that’ll show both text and photos with all the clarity you could ask for. There’s a 2 megapixel camera with a flash on board, and you can load it up with both music and video to entertain yourself on the go. All of this is crammed into probably the sleekest Blackberry ever, making it both brainy and beautiful. It’s everything you’ve been looking for in a Blackberry. Try to remain calm.

Few things are more annoying than dealing with a weak or spotty cell signal. Firstly, it makes you drop calls in the middle of a conversation, which is obviously a pain. Secondly, it makes you miss calls completely with some calls going straight to voicemail even when you’re right by the phone, which can cause you to miss important calls. And lastly, it sucks up your battery life as your phone searches in vain for a decent signal at all times.

What’s one to do when they live or work in an area with mediocre cell coverage? Well, it’s time to take matters into your own hands. This Wi-Ex YX300-PCSCEL zBoost zP zPersonal for Personal Cell Zone will boost your cell signal in a six foot radius, making your desk a place where you can actually make and receive calls without dealing with the hassle of a weak signal. You’ll enjoy calls that don’t drop, calls that come right through to you, and a battery life that’s noticeably longer than before. And since it’s small, you can take it with you when you travel to make sure you always have decent coverage. Problem solved.

Since last June when it was released, the Apple iPhone has sat pretty much unchallenged on top of the heap of cell phones on the market, standing alone as the most desirable device in all the land. No other phones have really come close to it’s gee-whiz novelty or full functionality. Well, it’s about time for the other cell phone manufacturers to rise to the challenge, starting with Samsung and its upcoming Instinct, due this year on Sprint.

The Instinct comes with a super-fast EVDO Rev. A connection, which is much faster than the iPhone’s EDGE connection, and it also one ups Apple by including GPS, allowing the phone to give turn-by-turn directions and do location-based searches. The screen is a localized haptic touchscreen, meaning the screen vibrates when and where you touch it, making it feel more like using real buttons. It also has a camera, mobile TV, all the standard media player bells and whistles, and has a completely customizable home screen.

So what do you think, has Apple met its match? Will the Instinct be able to take on the mighty iPhone? Time will tell.

Nokia N95 users are proud. Understandably. The N95 8GB is a truly special smartphone, so packed with features that Nokia calls it a multimedia computer. The new N95 (also known as the N95-4) has 8GB of built-in Flash memory. With easy access to music, email, advanced web browsing, a 5-megapixel camera, and GPS mapping, it’s easy to forget what a magnificent phone the N95 is.

The first thing you notice is the brilliant 2.8” screen, capable of 16 million colors. You can surf the web in portrait or landscape mode. Slide the keyboard up for the alphanumeric keypad and down for the media player controls. Then, use the N95.
