Sprint and Verizon Phones Go Global
Until recently, Sprint and Verizon customers have been out of luck (and out of service) when traveling anywhere outside the CDMA network, namely Europe. A crop of new CDMA/GSM hybrid phones have changed that, allowing calls in any network. Visit PCMag.com to check out which handsets are best for your next overseas trip.

A Near Perfect D-SLR
The Nikon D300 delivers the entire package with an overabundance of well-executed features, stellar performance, and excellent-quality shots. Find out why this Editors' Choice D-SLR is one of the best cameras we've ever seen in our hands-on review.

Turbocharge Your Data Transfer
The pocket-sized Buffalo 320GB MiniStation TurboUSB is certainly among the speediest of the hard drives we've tested. Though it may not get the bump in transfer speeds that Buffalo promises with its "TurboUSB" utility, this diminutive storage device will still suit users on the go.

Customized zzzPhones Hit a Few Snags
Chinese company zzzPhone is still determined to sell high-end, low-cost customized smartphones to US consumers, despite a few bumps along the way. The phones are touted as the first, user-customized handset, with users being able to request specific modules to be built in, including a high-resolution camera, GPS unit, and TV tuner. More details in our report.
