Samsung SGH-T509
Score: 76% When: May 2006 Worth: $50 - $200 What: Slim phones, Samsung phones
While it can’t compete with the SLVR in the music department (or even the photo department, for that matter), you can’t argue with the wafer-thin T509’s stellar look and feel. Throw in an impressive display, EDGE and Bluetooth support, and you’ve got a one tantalizing handset. We’re hooked. More...

Motorola Q
Score: 72% When: May 2006 Worth: $200 - $300 What: Business phones, Motorola phones
While the Motorola Q packs in some impressive features into its svelte, half-inch frame, including top-notch messaging abilities, EV-DO support, Bluetooth and a surprisingly good 1.3-megapixel camera, we can't overlook the phone's disappointingly lethargic performance or its underpowered office features.

Samsung SGH-T809
Score: 70% When: December 2005 Worth: $150 - $300 What: Camera phones, Slim phones
Add an all-black and sleek design to a slider handset and it'll be a definitive hit - and even more so if you throw in an impressively bright and clear 262K screen to act as the viewfinder for a Megapixel camera snapping high-quality stills. Still, its slim form factor has led the SGH-T809 to make some compromises, including a mediocre navigational pad and battery life. For those who don't mind these slight bumps in the road, however, the Samsung SGH-T809 comes highly recommended. More...

Motorola L2
Score: 64% When: May 2006 Worth: $130 - $300 What: Slim phones, Motorola phones
The L2 makes for a slim and light business companion for globe-trotting professionals focused on making calls and checking the odd e-mail message, and its Bluetooth support address-book syncing, and great battery life are all nice touches. However, more demanding chatters will frown at the weak display, lack of corporate or POP/IMAP e-mail access, GPRS-only data service and missing memory expansion. More...

Motorola RAZR V3m
Score: 61% When: May 2006 Worth: $70 - $120 What: Phones, 3G phones
The RAZR V3m improves on the sleek, eye-catching looks of its wildly-popular by adding much-needed microSD memory expansion, but this slim 3G music phone drops the ball with its middling sound quality and fuzzy snapshots. And while we appreciate the V3m’s ability to buy music downloads and sync with PC-based music collections, we’re irked by the missing stereo earbuds and USB cable for file transfers. More...

Motorola Q
Score: 66% When: May 2006 Worth: $200 - $300 What: Business phones, Motorola phones
The Q looks great: slipping it in a jeans pocket is no problem, and it was easy to hold against our cheek during calls. The QWERTY keypad is refreshingly roomy, making for good two- or even one-handed typing. The display looked bright and razor-sharp to our eyes; unfortunately, it isn’t a touchscreen. Our Web browsing on the mobile Internet Explorer was relatively speedy thanks to the Q’s EV-DO connection. The Q’s relative simplicity comes with some important limitations: namely, the lack of a full Office Mobile suite. Its messaging features are up to snuff, however, and music mavens will get a kick out of the mobile Windows Media Player. The Q's 1.3-megapixel camera took surprisingly good pictures for a smartphone. We got about 4.5 hours of talk time for the Q, but conference calling is surprisingly missing. More...

Motorola Pink SLVR
When: May 2006 Worth: $200 What: Fashion phones, Motorola phones
