Phone makers are tackling this issue by stuffing QWERTY keyboards into their phones wherever they'll fit. We've compiled reviews of three such phones, which let you e-mail from anywhere with the convenience of a thumb keyboard. Read the reviews and check out the specs in our online review package. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1046-4-4-252229-96359-1 ============================================================ For Experienced Scan Artists Be warned: The Pacific Image PrimeFilm 3650LAB is definitely not for the masses. This scanner is meant primarily for mini-labs and photo professionals and enthusiasts, and the software assumes a familiarity with the technical side of photo production. If you're looking for a professional-grade workhouse to digitally remove dust and scratches and spruce up the color of old slides and negatives, 3650LAB is the scanner for you. The loading mechanisms for single slides and film strips are big pluses, too. Read the review online to find out more.
