Your Next New Phone: Cool Cell Phones and Features
1/6
If You're a TV & Music Junkie
LOOK FOR A multimedia player with a microSD card slot. Slip in a 4GB memory card to hold up to 1,000 tunes. With Bluetooth, you can answer calls on a wireless headset that doubles as stereo headphones.

SLICK PICK The LG Vu ($300 with contract, att.com) picks up AT&T's Mobile TV service.

If You're a Web Surfer
LOOK FOR A Wi-Fi-enabled phone so you can browse at public hotspots. If the box says HSDPA or EV-DO (so not worth spelling out), then your phone has a 3G (third-generation) chip that downloads websites up to three times faster than your current phone. For easy surfing, opt for a touch screen.

SLICK PICK The HTC Touch Diamond (price and carrier not set, available this fall; visit htc.com for info) has an ultrabright touch screen.

If You're a World Traveler

If You're a World Traveler
LOOK FOR Built-in GPS to map your location and get directions. And if your phone has a quad-band chip, it will work overseas, too. (Heads up for roaming charges.)

SLICK PICK The Sony Ericsson W760i (price and carrier not set) uses GPS to track your route and distance while you jog and then calculates calorie burn.

If You're a Workaholic
4/6
If You're a Workaholic
LOOK FOR A Qwerty keyboard and push e-mail (geek-speak for e-mail that automatically pops up so you don't have to check it). Bonus: the ability to edit Microsoft Office docs.

SLICK PICK The BlackBerry Bold (att.com). This handheld also includes IM for communicating with pals--as well as coworkers on deadline.

If You're a Shutterbug
5/6
If You're a Shutterbug
LOOK FOR A cameraphone with three or more megapixels for shots that print fuzz-free. You'll want a zoom and a flash as well--so you can play paparazzi even when you're in a dark bar.

SLICK PICK The Samsung G800 ($450, t-mobile.com) sports a five-megapixel shooter, auto focus, editing tools, and just about everything else you'd find in a regular point-and-shoot.
