Helio Fin
It's not the freshest-looking phone around, but with a 0.5-inchprofile, the Fin is at least slimmer than some competitors. Images andvideos captured with the 3-megapixel camera can be uploaded straight toFlickr or YouTube; despite being relatively hi-res, however, shotsappear grainy. GPS plus Google Maps is cool, but for real-time,turn-by-turn directions, you have to pony up $2.99 a day. Worse, thebuttons are flat and squishy, and the directional pad is impossiblyclumsy.
WIRED: Sturdy feel. Vivid 2.3-inch screen.Built-in email clients for all the biggies (Gmail, Yahoo, WindowsLive). Access to mobile MySpace and Helio's music store.
TIRED: Keypad is frustratingly unresponsive. Tinny speaker. Measly three-hour-plus talk time. No memory card.
