Audiophile
Audiophiles march to the beat of a different drummer--about every three minutes--so it's a good thing there are a lot of handhelds with audio-playback capabilities. If you feel you might be an audiophile, you'll have to face the music if you have any of these attributes:
- You listen to music while watching TV.
- After a long night out, instead of a headache, your ears ring.
- You spend more on music than on food.
- You consider your headphones part of your wardrobe.

T-Mobile SDA
CNET rating: 8.0
For those who want to do more on the go, the T-Mobile SDA offers a winning package of productivity tools, multimedia, and great performance. We just wish the smart phone had a better keypad layout.
The good: The T-Mobile SDA boasts a sharp, vibrant screen, as well as outstanding battery life and call quality. In addition, the Windows Mobile 5 smart phone is equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and EDGE support.
The bad: The T-Mobile SDA's Mini SD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery, and the keypad and navigation controls are a bit cramped.

The bad: With its less-than-stellar battery life, the Dell Axim X51 didn't perform up to our expectations.
