The New Pocket PCs
Picking a phone is no small task, and it tends to get a bit harder when you're toying with the idea of getting a smartphone. You have to find the right service provider, and you also need to figure out which mobile platform or OS is right for you before you can even start thinking about which handset to get. To help you out, we've eliminated some of the guesswork and laid out the pros and cons of the major mobile platforms. We've also included suggestions for the best handsets to go along with each.
Expert Help: School for Your Smartphone
There's no such thing as a perfect smartphone; each mobile platform comes with its own set of shortcomings. What you need are easy ways to work around them. Here, we break down the follies of all the major mobile platforms--including the iPhone--and offer simple solutions to circumvent each. Start upgrading your phone on PCMag.com.
The Best Bluetooth Headphones
As cell phones continue to replace more and more land lines in homes, a lot of people are faced with a similar problem: Cradling a cell phone on your shoulder--the way you can a house-bound cordless or corded phone--while you go about your business is a tricky proposition. That is, unless you have a Bluetooth headset handy. Free your hands, forget about wires, and make clearer calls with these excellent sets.

Bargain Hunt: Unlocked Cell Phones
You may not need as deep pockets as you once thought to bring home a top-of-the-line unlocked cell- or smartphone. A slightly older model will still have all the same perks--transatlantic roaming, software tinkering, and more--but without the hefty sticker price. These four models from Nokia, LG, and Palm were all well received in PC Magazine Labs when we first reviewed them, and now they have prices that make them even more alluring.
