This touch-screen phone from Alltel Wireless is no iPhone killer, but it’s still worth checking out.

This is a comfortable phone to hold, being designed in Motorola’s classic PEBL style. Its ‘bar of soap’ shape and smooth finish means it feels good in the hand when closed.

The U9 has a Web browser that isn’t particularly impressive, but you can download Opera Mini 4 on to the phone, which we found makes it a much more compelling offering.

The Pearl 8120 follows on from the first BlackBerry Pearl, and like its predecessor it is small enough to be mistaken for a candybar-style mobile phone.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is the first in RIM’s line of petite handsets to support Wi-Fi for speedy Web surfing and e-mail management.
The Pearl 8120 comes with Voice Signal’s excellent speaker independent voice dialing software that requires no voice tags and works well when speaking directly to the phone or through a Bluetooth headset.
The small miniature trackball that sits under the screen and is used for navigation within and between applications remains as delightful as ever.
The good:
* Thin and super light weight
* Navigation virtually lag-free
* WiFi
* Fun Facebook application
The bad:
* No 3G or HSDPA
* No widescreen for video
* Poor quality camera
Blackberry 8120 Cell Phone:
The Blackberry Pearl 8120 measures 4.21 x 1.97 x 0.55 inches and weighs 3.21 ounces. Its 990 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of talk time, and up to 360 hours of digital standby time.

The 6555 runs Nokia’s standard Series 40 interface, which provides a stable environment with good options for customizing your device.
