Blind since childhood, Paul Schroeder is a huge fan of technology because it plays such a key role in his information-driven life.
Welcome to the world of the 3.5G phones which promise fast wireless access to the Internet, plus streaming of music videos and live television through your handset.
The browser is the new OS. Yes, we've heard this before, and if you're quietly groaning right about now, I can understand why.
Music cell phones have become a hot commodity in 2006, with almost every manufacturer getting into the game. Sony Ericsson's Walkman handsets in particular have emerged as favorites of mobile music fans, but Nokia has countered with its quality N-series smart phones that come packed with multimedia features. But let's face it, not everyone needs a fancy smart phone such as the Nokia N91 so we're glad to welcome the new Nokia 5300 Xpress Music. Packed into a unique but user-friendly design is an exceptional music player and a broad range of features including a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and an expandable memory slot. And yes, it delivers on performance as well. As of this writing, the GSM 5300 isn't available with a U.S. carrier, so it will cost you. But even at $300, we reckon it's worth it.
