The Bottom Line: The Nokia 3711 puts style over usability, but it offers functional features and decent performance.

The Bottom Line: 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.
