MP3 playback; FM radio; Bluetooth and infrared; MMC expansion slot.

Nokia
7610
The Nokia 7610, resembling
an elongated Nokia 7600, comes with a 65k-color screen and an onboard megapixel
camera. If the wavy keypad is not a major turnoff, this phone's 48-chord
polyphonic ringer and integrated MP3 player will be music to your ears. The first Nokia handset to sport a megapixel camera certainly holds an attraction
for many. Check back for our in-depth review soon.

Panasonic
X70
The
good: Attractive design; bright, beautiful display; Bluetooth-enabled.
The bad: Short
battery life; low photo resolution; minor stability issues.
The
bottom line: The Panasonic X70 is a gorgeous mobile marred
by limited photo resolution, minor stability issues, and the lack of Java;
it fails to live up to the hype of its formidable predecessor.

VGA camera with effective Night mode; huge 9MB memory. The

Sony
Ericsson T630 The
good: Stylish new design; full-featured. The
bad: Software remains a tad slow; significantly pricier
than the T610. The
bottom line: The new Sony Ericsson T630, despite the fresh design
and new display, really isn't too different from the T610. But given how
good the latter was, that's not such a bad thing at all.
