Nokia’s first Windows Phone effort was met with decent reviews, but not exactly staggering sales. Networks even complained about the cost of the Lumia 800.

Motorola Xoom 2 10.1-Inch Wi-Fi Tablet Lightning Review: Mark II Is Still In Need of Polish

Kindle Touch Lightning Review: The Only Book Gadget You Need

We've more or less accepted e-readers as the best way to read a book digitally, but there's still a whole lot that gadgets can do that e-readers suck at—literally anything you own with a screen is better at this stuff than an e-reader.

Motorola Droid RAZR Lightning Review: Faster, Thinner, Prettier—Like a Supermodel In a Rocket

Bearing no other similarity to the original RAZR line-up other than its name, the Droid RAZR is not just the world's thinnest smartphone. It's fast, with an incredibly-crisp screen. It's also made from kevlar, but unless you're planning on shooting it, that's hardly the selling feature. It will also run Ice Cream Sandwich. Read More >
