So long, flip phones, hello, touch screens.(PRODUCT UPDATES)
As cell phones add features--text messaging, media playback, GPS navigation, and Web browsing--more are swapping the familiar buttons and keypads for large, touch-sensitive displays with virtual controls. Instead of stumbling through a labyrinth of menus, you can launch any application by tapping an icon. The phone will display controls as needed. The iPhone 3G is the best-known example, but three alternatives ooer compelling features of their own. And they're good phones, too.

Apple iPhone 3G (8GB)
AT&T ($200 with a two-year contract)
Best display. The second-generation iPhone retains the best MPy player and sharpest, brightest display we've seen on any phone. It supports Wi-Fi, as did the first model, allowing you to download songs directly from iTunes. This model supports AT&T's 3G network, which allows Web pages and other content to download twice as fast as the earlier model. Also new is GPS technology, which works with Google maps to pinpoint your location. But it lacks automatic rerouting, audible directions, and other advanced capabilities. Another bummer: Only Apple can replace the battery, which costs $79 plus tax and shipping after the one-year warranty expires. A 16GB version is $300.
