The Cream of the New Cell Phone Crop
Sleek sliders, colorful clamshells, and the fastest Internet tablet yet: There was something for everyone at 2008 CTIA, the largest North American wireless telecom show.

Nokia Gets Ready for WiMax
With WiMax looking more solid as Sprint's next-generation data network (the service will be called Xohm and people are now talking about a 2009 commercial launch), we're starting to see devices that will leverage anticipated network speeds of 2- to 4-megabits per second or more.
One such device at CTIA 2008 was Nokia's N810 WiMax Edition, a 4.1-inch touchscreen Internet tablet that has a roomy slide-out portrait mode keyboard, yet is not much larger than an iPhone when you slide up the keyboard and use your fingers or the included stylus. Nokia says the N810 will likely cost close to $500 when launched--which will probably be when commercial WiMax service appears (although it also supports Wi-Fi). In the meantime, non-WiMax versions are available.
