As someone who has been carrying a so-called sciphone  for as long as I can remember (I had Windows Mobile devices from Siemens and HTC since they launched years back) and even a BlackBerry or Palm device, I’m not at all surprised at how The New York Times has now labeled the Personal Information Manager based devices a “necessity.”

But the Cards have gone well past being just a PIM, as they have taken on the life of a being a computer in your pocket, running apps that make you more efficient, are more helpful or just more entertaining.

When you add in a solid VoIP client to the mix, so the china mobile phone  becomes a money saving device and more capable, almost paying for itself too.

My smartphone of choice? The Nokia E71. Hands down the most attractive, and most useful one I have. For me, while the newer and shinier Nokia E75 has a smaller form factor, the E71 is clearly the only device I have that really Rivals the BlackBerry as the ultimate smartphone …. for a person on the go.

Yes, Nokia is an agency client to be totally transparent.The Carousel is easy to use and quite convenient. You can select multiple categories simply to display and click again to stop showing a category. It will only show what’s in the Map view, so zoom in or out to expand or decrease the locations shown on your screen.

The app, however, needs a lot of work in the search department. The app consistently returns a “No Search Results Found” button - for everything from “Cedar Point” to “Washington Monument” to “Las Vegas.”

You therefore need to sign into an account if you want to access “My Places” features. Registering and signing into accounts via china mobile phones is a pain.

Right now, the app is perfect for finding nearby coffee, hotels, traffic conditions, etc. Hopefully in the future we’ll see better search functions and more without needing a MapQuest account.

LG’s Martin Valdez looks a little like he could enter to Elvis look-alike contest, a much-needed feature for what ended up being mostly show: The unveiling of LG’s cell phone watch . For once, this actually looks like something you might want to wear, and I do not mean for the khaki / sneaker set either (you know who you are). This is stylish. Maybe sexy. But it does not work. The ideas are great, but at this point, because the device is far from shipping, they’re just ideas.

Here’s our video.

That’s right, the LG watch phones  is just a concept, hardly even a prototype, and will not be built until a carrier steps up The plan is to introduce it in Europe first. If carriers step up, you’ll have something pretty special, because in addition to telling time (and even here, LG admits it’s still working out The Kinks - the watch stops when the cell battery this) and making phone calls, it has a camera and an MP3 player, and does video and two-way video conferencing. The touch-screen interface takes you to a variety of productivity applications, and it supports Bluetooth as well.

The PCMag.com Network grew by one this week: Watch our excellent security section is now its own blog!

The new format will be similar to our Gearlog and AppScout blogs, built on SixApart’s Movable Type Enterprise.

Rich blog platforms such as ours make content easier to read and easier to provide feedback. Larry Seltzer will continue his comprehensive security coverage, and our team of software experts will be chiming in from time to time as well. Feel free to engage them by leaving comments and sending e-mails.

We’ll keep up the in-depth coverage of hot security topics (phish, spam, known vulnerabilities, viruses, spyware, malware and general trends), and you can retrieve content using RSS feed and numerous other services like Newsgator, Technorati, Windows Live, My Yahoo!, and many more. We will still be sending out the Security Watch newsletter twice a week, and you can click here for help subscribing or Unsubscribing.

We hope you find the new format pleasant to work with. If you have any comments on it, please let us know at securitywatch@pcmag.com. But enough talk. Head over to our new Security Watch blog at blogs.pcmag.com / security watch and be sure to bookmark it!
