Helped out by autofocus, this slim GSM slider's three-megapixel camera delivers image quality that should be sufficient for snapshot-sized prints. Want to shoot flowers? It has macro mode. A golf swing? It has a multishot option. There's even a USB connection for output to PictBridge-compatible printers, and the Carbon can display your photos -- or MPEG-4 video, which it also shoots -- on TV. Files can be saved on removable memory cards, as with other models here. The Carbon's Java platform supports third-party mobile imaging apps, and it comes loaded with software for viewing Microsoft Office and PDF files too. About $330.
Motorola MOTORIZR Z8
Although it looks like a typical slider phone when closed, this GSM model stretches into a graceful curve when you open it to make a call. That distinctive design accommodates a two-megapixel camera with an LED flash, as well as a secondary VGA camera for video calls. A microSD slot supports cards up to 4GB instead of the usual 2GB, enough to fit a whole movie. The MOTORIZR Z8 runs a Symbian UIQ operating system and a Java platform, which allow the camera to handle third-party mobile imaging apps. HSDPA support enables extra-fast downloads and mobile Web surfing. About $100 (with T-Mobile contract).
