Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.
The 2135cn from Dell is a colour laser MFP with network support. While the 2135cn is a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance, it comes at a reasonable price.
It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.

Fujitsu's foray into Centrino 2 laptops is solid, but the competition is offering more features at a lower price.
