The Cream of the New Cell Phone Crop

I'm not sure it's quite accurate to call Neonode's N2 an iPhone wannabe, given its diminutive size--it weighs only about two ounces and is generally about the shape of a mid-size restaurant match box. It does have a proprietary touch screen interface, and support for music and video playback, as well as browsing and e-mail (although with no Wi-Fi or high-speed data support, you might not enjoy the latter tasks--read Dialed In columnist Grace Aquino's recent review of the N2TEXT). Neonode says it will launch by mid-summer as an unlocked phone, for people who mean it when they say small is beautiful.
