Motorola A630
Price: $199 to $299
Motorola’s new A630 mobile phone is guaranteed to amaze your friends. The featherweight 4.3-ounce phone, not much bigger than a hotel’s bar of soap, flips open on its long side to reveal a color screen and a tiny but full-scale keyboard. This makes the A630 the smallest mobile phone yet with a true keyboard, greatly speeding up the process of typing instant messages, e-mail and short text messages. Introduced in late November, the A630 is only available for now with service from T-Mobile. It can be found at T-Mobile company stores or, at better prices, through online retailers.
