Hottest New Mobile Phones on the Earth-2

Samsung F700

















Price: Not disclosed

Samsung already has a pretty good answer to the impending release of Apple's iPhone, with its F700. The phone's 2.78-in. widescreen display renders video at quality comparable to a video iPod, according to reports, and packs other solid features like a 5-megapixel camera and an integrated MP3 player. It may not be the iPhone-killer, but it can certainly hold its ground.

Hewlett Packard iPaq 500 Voice Messenger















Price: Not disclosed

Hewlett Packard has been present on the PDA market for a few years, but the iPaq 500 Voice Messenger marks the company's entry into the world of smart phones. It is billed as a businessperson's dream, integrating Wi-Fi capabilities, VoIP calling, and other PDA features into the Windows Mobile 6 interface. Nifty touches, like the ability to dictate e-mails or have them read to you, make the iPaq a uniquely handy out-of-the-office tool.

Nokia 6110 Navigator

















Price: €450

Some high-end car GPS devices, like the TomTom Go series, already pair navigation with Bluetooth telephony, but Nokia is taking the inverse route by building GPS capabilities directly into a full-featured mobile phone. The resulting Navigator phone makes it hard for a user to stay lost for long. This device can read out directions, find points of interest from the Internet, and download new maps on a pay-per basis.

Samsung U600
















Price: Not disclosed

If Samsung's Ultra Edition super-thin phones bear a striking resemblance to Motorola's RAZR, it's no coincidence. All the major handset makers have been scrambling to release rivals to Motorola's hugely popular line of super-thin phones. At just 10.9 mm thick, Samsung's is not quite the world's slimmest device, but it may be thin enough to squeeze in behind the RAZR and help Samsung snag clients away from its U.S. rival.
