Palm Treo Pro It's been a while since the Treo 750 came out, and now we have Palm's successor, which loses the Treo 850 handle and instead goes under the name Treo Pro. The Treo Pro looks more like the Palm Centro, but it has Pro features inside: GPS, WiFi, 3G HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and a 400MHz processor. No US carrier has picked up the Treo, so it's sold as an unlocked GSM phone with no contract in tow. The Treo runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and features a flush touch screen for easier access to the display.

Sprint HTC Touch Diamond First Look. Officially announced on September 10th, the Sprint HTC Touch Diamond is one of the best Windows Mobile Professional phones Sprint has ever offered. It features a VGA display, 4 gigs of storage, a fast CPU and lots of RAM. The excellent Opera 9.5 web browser and youtube are on board with EVDO Rev. A to back it up. There's also Sprint TV, Sprint Radio, a GPS and a good 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. Sprint and HTC have answered most of our complaints with the original GSM Diamond, and this version has so far impressed us with its speed, stability and top notch business and multimedia features.

US 3G HTC Touch Diamond First Look. It's raining Diamonds here. This time we've gotten a hold of the US unlocked GSM HTC Touch Diamond before its official release. The US version has dual band US 3G HSDPA that works on AT&T's 850/1900 bands. It's also a quad band GSM unlocked world phone with EDGE. Like the Sprint Diamond, it's a little thicker than the original Euro model, but it retains the Diamond-faceted back and overall great looks. The battery is larger than the Euro Diamond, and this Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone features TouchFLO 3D, GPS, VGA display, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

Acer Aspire One Talk about bang for the buck! We take a look at the $349 Windows XP version of the 2.1 lb. Aspire One netbook. Boasting specs similar to a notebook from 2 years ago means it has plenty enough horsepower for XP, web surfing and MS Office work. The Acer is the same size as the Eee PC 4G, and that means small. It has an 8.9" gloss display that's sharp and bright, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, Intel integrated graphics and a capacious 120 gig hard drive (serial ATA, 5400 RPM-- no slouch). There's a gig of RAM on board and plenty of ports for USB peripherals, a monitor and headphones.

E-TEN Glofiish V900 The V900 is E-TEN's flagship unlocked GSM Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone for 2008. It boasts a VGA display that's flush mounted and finger-friendly. It comes with Spb Mobile Shell 2.1 pre-installed for an even touchier experience, and it's loaded with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, US 3G HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, an FM radio and a SiRF Star III GPS. The Glofiish runs on a 533MHz processor with 128 megs of RAM and 256 megs of flash ROM for good performance and it has an integrated digital TV tuner. The catch? The TV tuner doesn't work in the US.

Sony Vaio Z550 Impossibly fast for a notebook this small and light, the Sony Z series of notebooks have wrangled up our Editor's Choice award. The Sony Z550 is one of the first Intel Centrino 2 (aka Montevina) notebooks to ship. It has extreme good looks, a carbon fiber casing with brushed aluminum inside and weighs just 3.31 pounds. But there's more than good looks: this notebook has a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 3 gigs of DDR3 RAM, a dual layer DVD burner (Blu-ray optional), hybrid graphics (change from Intel 4500HD integrated graphics to the NVIDIA 9300M at the slide of a switch with no reboot required) and HDMI among other amenities. And at $2,099, the price is by no means crazy for what you get.

Toshiba Satellite Pro M300 It's back to school and back to work time of year, and we're taking a look at several notebooks that might make it to your shopping list. The Toshiba Satellite Pro M300 is a business class notebook, which means it's strong on computer power, has Intel X3100 integrated graphics and a staid business design. The 14.1" notebook has a dual layer DVD burner, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM,a webcam, WiFi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR.

Samsung Omnia One of the hottest Windows Mobile Professional phones of 2008, if not one of the hottest smartphones altogether, the Samsung Omnia i900 lives up to its name (Omnia means all in Latin). This quad band unlocked GSM phone has everything except US 3G: GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth with A2DP, FM radio, Opera 9.5, microSD card slot and a 624MHz processor. But the real biggies are the 240 x 400 pixel 3.2" touch screen with Samsung's TouchWiz UI, 8 or 16 gigs of storage and a really fine 5 megapixel autofocus camera. Certainly a phone to consider if you're interested in a GSM import and can live without 3G.

Nokia XpressMusic 5310 And now for something really thin! The XpressMusic 5310 replaces the pleasantly portly Nokia XpressMusic 5300 slider music phone on T-Mobile. The phone weighs only 2.48 ounces and is 0.39 inches thin. It's a slick looking phone with good features despite a low $49 price tag on T-Mobile. It runs Nokia's S40 software, has a very capable music player that's compatible with MP3, WMA and iTunes unprotected AAC files. It has Bluetooth with A2DP stereo, and a microSD expansion slot that's SHDC compatible. T-Mobile and Nokia include a 1 gig card in the box along with a good quality stereo headset.

HP iPAQ 910c We don't see many HP iPAQ Windows Mobile Professional phones hit the market, but when we do, we're usually impressed. The iPAQ 910c boasts a long list of high-end features for a reasonable $499 price (unlocked GSM world phone, no contract required). It's a modern-looking QWERTY bar phone with a very good keyboard, 3G 7.2Mbps HSDPA, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. There's also a 3MP camera with autofocus, an SDHC microSD card slot and Bluetooth A2DP all running on a 416MHz Intel processor. If you like the size and form factor of QWERTY Windows Mobile Standard Edition phones like the BlackJack II and Moto Q9 but want a touch screen and Pro features, the iPAQ 910 should be on your short list.

Treo 800w It's been almost 2 years since the Treo 700wx came out on Sprint, and now we have its thoroughly modern replacement: the Treo 800w. This is the first Treo to sport the big four: GPS WiFi, EVDO Rev. A and Bluetooth. Looking like an old school Treo mixed with a dash of Centro, the 5 ounce 800w has come down in size while maintaining that excellent Palm keyboard. This Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone has a 320 x 320 display, a 2 megapixel camera, microSD card slot and a 333MHz processor with plenty of memory behind it.

Motorola RAZR VE20 Though it might not be the most stunning looking RAZR to hit the market, the RAZR VE20 for Sprint packs a very strong set of features along with Moto's signature excellent reception. The RAZR VE20 is narrower than the original RAZR, yet it packs in a GPS that works with Sprint Navigation, EVDO, Sprint TV, a music player, Bluetooth stereo A2DP, Sprint TV and a microSD card slot. At $99 with contract, it's easy on the wallet too.

Nokia E71 Stunningly good looking and impossibly thin: two things we don't often say about a smartphone. The E71 puts the once solid Nokia E61 to shame: it's smaller, much thinner, yet fits more inside: GPS, US 3G HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus lens. It's got a great QWERTY keyboard and push email support, but it also handles music playback, video and even streaming YouTube well. The E71 is an unlocked GSM world phone that's sold without contract in the US.

iPhone 3G Another year and another iPhone has hit the market, this time worldwide, with just as much fanfare as the first model. Though the iPhone 3G adds only a few new features, they're big ones: 3G HSDPA and a GPS. Other improvements include better audio, improved Bluetooth and that nifty new 2.0 iPhone operating system pre-installed, which adds support for 3rd party applications that are easy to download and install via iTunes on the desktop or directly to the iPhone. The iPhone 3G is a quad band GSM world phone with worldwide HSDPA support, and it's sold by AT&T in the US.

Motorola ROKR E8 Moto's latest music phone has extreme good looks that come in part from the unique surface haptics front panel. There are no traditional buttons; instead the surface is touch-sensitive and the virtual buttons vibrate when you press them. Buttons also come and go, depending on context, using Motorola's ModeShifting technology. The ROKR E8 is a GSM quad band phone with EDGE for data, and it's offered by T-Mobile in the US. It has 2 gigs of internal memory, making it a viable portable music player and there's also a microSD card slot with a 1 gig card included. Other features include A2DP Bluetooth stereo, an FM radio and a 2 megapixel camera.

Sanyo Katana Eclipse The latest in the Katana line for Sprint, the Eclipse adds funky LED front flip lighting effects to last year's Katana DLX feature set. The Eclipse features EVDO Power Vision, a GPS with Sprint Navigation, Sprint TV, a music player, SDHC microSD card slot and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The Eclipse is a flip phone with a 2" main display and external music playback controls.

MWg Zinc II From the team that brought you some really cool Windows Mobile phones for the UK carrier O2 who are now the backbone of MWg, we have the Zinc II. This Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone rises in the spirit of side-sliding QWERTY PDA phones like the HTC Tilt, adding an updated design with rounded corners, a soft touch finish and most important- a flush display. It's got a SiRF III GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2 megapixel camera and US 3G. It's a quad band unlocked GSM phone with worldwide 3G that's sold unlocked for use with any GSM carrier.

Toshiba Satellite U405 Heading back to school or work doesn't have to break your back or your wallet. The Toshiba Satellite U405 is a 13" notebook at a 15" notebook's price. It weighs 4.85 lbs. and packs a good deal of power beneath it's ultra-glossy finish: a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 3 gigs of RAM, dual layer DVD burner, ExpressCard slot and Intel X3100 integrated graphics. The battery can handle a DVD movie on a 3 hour flight and the X3100 is good for non-bleeding-edge gaming.

LG Chocolate 3 Yet another release of the phone that tastes great and is less filling. The Chocolate 3 is LG and Verizon's 3rd confection-inspired phone, and it's the best so far. Gone are the touch controls and slider-- this time we've got America's beloved flip phone design, but with a few improvements. There's a very large outer display and control wheel that allow you to do many tasks without opening the flip. The phone has EVDO with V Cast support, a GPS that works with VZ Navigator, stereo Bluetooth A2DP and a 2 megapixel camera.
