The Bottom Line It may not be for heavy e-mail use, but the compact i500 is one of the most civil marriages of a phone and a PDA that we've seen to date. The HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint brings some nice additions and improvements over the unlocked GSM version--most notably to performance. It's best suited for first-time smartphone buyers or light users, while business customers should wait for the Touch Pro. The AT&T Tilt promises to be the carrier's most powerful smartphone for business users with its full range of wireless options, Windows Mobile 6, and innovative tilt screen. It doesn't offer anything new, but the Samsung SPH-M520 is one of the better Sprint Power Vision phones we've seen. The North American Edition of the Nokia N95 brings some notable additions, including 3G support and better performance, to make this powerful smart phone even better. However, it'll still leave a deep gouge in your wallet.
