Not sure I like the idea of more moving parts in a mobile phone, but the Motorola RIZR Z8 is a slider that bends in the middle when extended. The K8 also starts Motorola's foray into the Symbian phones, I wish they would just stick to one OS.

Samsung released a bunch of new headsets at the 3GSM conference last week, they all feature very thin profiles, and great looking features. Follow the link for more details.

It's official, the Blackberry 8800 from RIM has been officially announced. The headset has been bounced around for a while, it is basically an updated 8700, the first thing they did was get rid of the scroll wheel (yahoo!) and replaced it with a trackball like on the one on the pearl (8100).

Just when you thought mobile phones couldn't get any smaller, some enterprising people jammed a modern GSM phone into the body of a classic Motorola "brick" phone. The phone has a color screen, plays Mp3 ringtones, and is guaranteed to get you some looks on the train.

One of the drawbacks of using a laptop or a small form factor PC is the lack of storage space available to you. The Media Tank hopes to alleviate this problem by providing you with an extra optical media drive, a 3.5" hard drive and a 6-in-1 card reader. All this can be yours for only $89.99 US.

This looks like a great way to control your earphone cords, way better than the way most people do it.

Samsung has another great handset on the horizon, the F520 has a 3" touchscreen, Tri band GSM, EDGE/HSDPA and a 3 megapixel camera. The neatest thing I think about the F520 is the dual sliding motion, one way reveals the keyboard, and the other way hides the number pad and directional pad.

With memory getting smaller than we can possibly imagine, it only makes sense that the readers will get smaller too. This reader claims to be the smallest, and from the pictures I am not going to argue, it looks about the same size as just a USB connector.
