The new Blackberry Bold 2 is not a revolutionary update to the original Bold 9000, but the new model improves on the original with significant refinements that will make T-Mobile BlackBerry users very happy, especially since it's the first Blackberry to support their 3G network. What is really nice about the Bold this time around is that both AT&T and T-Mobile are getting it at the same time, there are no exclusives. Thank goodness! We're so sick of carriers getting exclusives over one another, and if AT&T got one more great smartphone exclusive we just couldn't bare it.

We are half way through fashion week and what geeky fashionista wouldn't love to dress up their Windows Mobile phone.

Take a look at the shots below for the full U.I.

For those audiophiles out there with cash to burn, Harman has released a slew of new high end products that while still pricey, these beauties manage to bring the audio technology from super high-end luxury products in to something more reasonably priced. The new Mark Levinson N˚500H power amplifiers (above) are audio beasts. I sat in a meeting room and listened to them power audio through a set of speakers. Between the Harman speakers and the Mark Levinson N˚500H power amplifiers, it felt as if you were sitting in a concert hall - minus the annoying crowd. I especially appreciated that the bass produced by the system wasn't body jarring the way so many high-end systems are.  Also, you'll notice that the Mark Levinson N˚500H's design is especially unique. It screams metro-sexual audiophile with money to burn. It also kind of resembles a high-end desktop tower. I think men will love to use this system as a show piece in their living room and women will want to hide it.

Do you live or work in an area with bad reception? The new zBoost-ONE UMTS has been designed specifically to increase the range of 3G zones.

The device is also the first one piece 3G signal booster - there are no unsightly external aerials required. The zBoost-ONE UMTS is designed to be placed in a window and it will be able to extend a data area for up to 13 square meters.

The last we heard of the Sharper Image, it was going out of business, but since the summer its web site has been announcing that something big is coming. So could this new smartphone be what they were talking about? Or is this an old phone that no one ever paid much attention too. Either way, this Windows Mobile phone is actually looking pretty, well - sharp. The phone is running on Windows Mobile 6 Pro and its sporting a full QWERTY, GPS, 64MB of memory which is expendable via a MicroSD card, it's also got a jog dial, a 2 megapixel camera and it's a Quad band phone. ...

The Peek is a new dedicated email device that isn't revolutionary technologically, but it aims to be revolutionary in a different way. It's the first wireless device to offer email on the go for a cheap pay as you go price that doesn't require a complicated contract. The Peek runs on T-mobile's network and can be used anywhere in the U.S. for just $19.99 a month. You can enter your credit card number directly from the Peek for billing. No credit check or sell your soul contract required. Design: The Peek is compact and pretty slim, it's just a little thinner than my 1G iPhone, yet it is wider and shorter. The peek is lightweight at just 3.8 ounces and comfortable to hold in your hand. The front of the peek is covered in a rubbery finish which also covers the keys. There are no gaps between the keys and the devices, so you don't have to worry about crumbs and dirt falling through, and it should probably be spill resistant to a certain extent as well. - That is something to keep in mind if you are going to be giving this device to a kid to use. The keyboard is comfortable to use and provides pretty good tactile feedback. It's keys illuminate when pressed which is great when you're using the peek in areas with dark lighting.

We <3 the Blackjack II. It's a great Windows Mobile smartphone that already comes in ordinary black and a lovely red. Now it's available in pink/white and blue/white with a modern design pattern covering its back. The actual keyboard of both models is white and the photos of the pink version do make it seem a bit purpleish, but still we are quite excited. Both phones are available for just $99 after rebate from AT&T. Bring on the powerful pink smartphones!

If you found telling time on one of those Movado watches without the hours denoted on the face a pain, than you might find telling time on this watch just as confusing. The Binary Ibiza Ride RB tells time by displaying colorful diodes. With a press of a button it will even tell you the date as well. The style of the watch is perfect for any hipster geek (now isn't that an oxymoron). However if I had this watch and someone asked me the time, I wouldn't know what to tell them...hmm.

PDAs have gone the way of the dinosaur, they don't even have good eBay resell value. So in the age of smartphones, what do you do with that old Windows Smartphone laying around that is still in great condition? Instead of transforming it in to a paperweight, you can use it as a secondary display. SideWindow is a neat app that allows you to transform your PDA in to a secondary display appropriate for small windows like a buddy list, a to-do list, or whatever else you might need to glance at frequently but you rather not waste precious screen real estate on. The app retails for $24.95.

Logitech's New Pure-Fi Mobile wireless speaker and speakerphone is not the first of its kind. There are many other bluetooth speaker / speakerphone systems on the market but the majority of them fail to deliver a good audio experience. However, Logitech produces some very good speaker systems and iPod docks, so we hoped that the Pure-Fi Mobile would too. The Pure-Fi Mobile's goal is to deliver a great wireless audio experience for use with your phone or PC whilst being small and portable enough to travel with. The speaker can last up to 12 hours with its rechargeable batteries. Aside from connecting it to your A2DP enabled phone or PC, you can also connect your iPod or Mp3 player to the Pure-Fi Mobile via the 3.5MM stereo jacket. A cable is even supplied to do so. Of course that means that it won't be a wireless experience, but blame that on Apple for leaving A2DP bluetooth out.

Wouldn't it be great if you could use your smartphone as a portable WiFi router when you needed to? Well with JoikuSpot, you can. The software works with Windows Mobile phones and some Nokia phones.

No more paying for WiFi when you're on the go... sweet.

In an effort to keep their email users from leaving, AOL has released a cool new software app for smartphones called AOL MyMobile Beta. Compatible with most popular Windows Mobile devices, like the Blackjack II, it lets you access AIM, AOL Mail, Mapquest, AOL pictures, AOL Cityguide, Moviefone, your AOL contacts, and the weather all via a neat and organized app. Did we say neat? It's actually very familiar - they no doubt took cues from Yahoo Go 3.0 which lets smartphones users access Yahoo popular services like Yahoo Mail, Flickr, etc, using a similarly styled interface. Both Yahoo Go 3.0 and AOL MyMobile are currently in Beta and have some kinks to ...

It almost seems like when I travel I take my whole house with me. This or that gadget and just random other needs plus all my chargers.... My bags seems to get bigger and bigger every time.

Just bought tickets for a Las Vegas show and need to print them out without having to go to a Kinkos - there you go!

Even on BlackBerry cases diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well that's what Case-Mate seems to think anyway.

It's valued at $20,000 and will be given away to one randomly selected winner tomorrow at CES. So if you are there check out booth #9104 in the Central Hall you may get lucky. I know if I win - I'll be off to the pawn shop for gambling money!

Don't go traveling with out this device. Until they create a real universal translator system like they do on Star Trek (ever wonder how all the aliens can communicate with each other even if they've only met for the first time).

Nokia's Series 60 based smartphones aren't nearly as popular in the USA as they are in Europe, which is a shame because there is so much great free and powerful software available for them. One example of that kind of software is Truphone, a VoIP application that allows you to make phone calls. Currently Truphone is running a promotion that if you sign up for their service before September 30th, you'll be eligible to make free phone calls to landlines in 40 countries for the rest of the year. Users who sign up in the UK or US will get their own UK or US phone number, respectively. Truphone also recently announced some new ...
