LG Chocolate Touch (Verizon Wireless)

Despite our issues with the browser and the uninteresting design, the LG Chocolate Touch is a terrific music phone for Verizon Wireless.
Dell Inspiron i1545-4374PBU

The Dell Inspiron i1545-4374PBU is a good, if basic, laptop with a strong price-to-performance ratio.
HTC Droid Eris (Verizon Wireless)

Though performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price.
Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309

For a budget Windows 7 thin-and-light that won't need to recharge often, you could do a lot worse than the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309.

The Haier America Video MP3 Player is nothing special, but the shuffle works a treat.

Gateway NV5207u

The Gateway NV5207u is certainly above average for the money, but its processor is a dog.
RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile)

The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 brings T-Mobile its first 3G BlackBerry and improves on its predecessor with a sleeker design and more power. We only wish it had a better browser to complete the package.
Zagg Z.buds Earbuds (yellow)

There's not much to set these Zagg Z.Buds apart from the earbud herd. The version with the integrated mic and iPod controls is a more compelling option.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980

Good design and some really nice-sounding speakers round out the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980, a very affordable mainstream laptop with excellent battery life for its size.
Samsung Freeform - teal (Alltel)

The Samsung Freeform is overall a decent multimedia messaging phone for Alltel customers.
Samsung Freeform - red (Alltel)

The Samsung Freeform is overall a decent multimedia messaging phone for Alltel customers.
Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 - carbon black (T-Mobile)

The Sony Ericsson Equinox TM717 has potential, but its multimedia features are undermined by design missteps and a subpar speakerphone.
Skullcandy Smokin' Buds headphones

Although sound quality isn't the greatest, the Skullcandy Smokin' Buds provide a funky design and some compelling features for the price. They're a solid budget option for music phone owners.
