The Anti-iPhones (Part II)
You'd be hard-pressed to find a person who hasn't been at least a little tempted by Apple's slick iPhone. But let's face it: The iPhone isn't for everyone in terms of price, features, and carrier. The good news, though, is that there are tons of other smartphones out on the market that can do what the iPhone can—and in some cases do it even better. Take the two neat phones from HTC and BlackBerry in this roundup as proof. Check all of them out on PCMag.com.

A Fresh Crop of BlackBerrys
If you aren't using a BlackBerry yet, one of the new models may well turn you into a believer. Like ripened blackberries waiting to be picked, RIM's new crop of BlackBerry smartphones is available from various cell phone carriers. On the whole, they are terrific for both texting and e-mail. Check out the reviews of five new faves on PCMag.com.
Four Ways to Cut the RAZR2
The Motorola RAZR2, introduced this past summer, is a pocketable slab of metal and glass with a truly luxurious feel. Whichever model you get, it will be one of the best voice phones this year. But depending on which carrier you choose (Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon), you'll be getting an entirely different user experience. In this roundup, we look inside four different offerings of the RAZR2 to find out what makes each one special (or not). Read all the reviews on PCMag.com.
The Best VoIP Services
Some of us still like to have a home phone in addition to our cell. But old-fashioned POTS (plain old telephone service) isn't the only option, because voice over IP isn't just for the tech elite anymore—anyone who can set up a router can get these services up and running. Across the board, the top VoIP companies deliver reliable, high-quality connections and all the calling, voice mail, and Internet features you could want, with plans starting at just $16.99 a month for domestic calling. (Compare that with your regular landline costs.) Here are five of the best services for you to consider.

More Phone Reviews: T-Mobile Sidekick LX
The Sidekick LX is fine for IM and basic e-mails, but some of its other features aren't nearly as luxurious as its sprawling keyboard and big, high-res display. Nokia E65
The Nokia E65 unlocked business slider is a sharp, professional midrange pick. For more reviews, news, guides, expert advice, and alerts, visit our phone product guide.
