After Paris Hilton's Cell Phone Evolution slideshow, I'm sure you are all wondering if there's a celeb who can top her handheld collection over the years. Well, Hilary Duff may not have more cell phones, but she sure is a smartphone lover, as you'll see in this slideshow. She once told Switched that she made the switch from her Sidekick to the BlackBerry because the Sidekick felt big and more like a toy. She also said that she enjoyed the instant messenger feature that the BlackBerry offered.
Now it's time to take a peek at the slideshow to see her favorite phones over the past few years! And if you love checking out celebrity fashions, make sure you head on over to CelebStyle!

After hearing some ho-hum reviews about the BlackBerry Storm, I was beginning to think that it wasn't going to give the iPhone a run for its money as predicted. But now that I've watched the Storm in action, there's a feature that I'm already in love with, and I think you physical keyboard fans will love it too.
Unlike the iPhone, which is strictly a glass touch screen, the BlackBerry Storm touch buttons actually depress when you touch them, since the entire backside of the screen is backed by springs.

Weigh in below!

This athlete doesn't come with ripped arms, or muscular legs, but he does have some thumbs of steel. Tom Taylor, who plays Halo 3 professionally (putting in up to 15 hours a day of practice), has not only landed his first endorsement deal with Dr. Pepper, but has also signed a three-year sponsorship contract with Major League Gaming to the tune of $250,000.
New York City-based Major League Gaming organizes teams and professional gamers to compete in tournaments around the country. This year, MLG has over 50 professional teams ready to play, and vie for endorsement deals aimed at the gaming community. I know several other companies that might do well with advertisements targeted at gamers — Cheetos, Mountain Dew, and Domino's (otherwise known as geek fuel), just to name a few. And although I'm sure we wouldn't recognize newly coined gaming celeb Tom Taylor (who goes by Tsquared, natch) if he passed us on the street, he does carry around a Sharpie nonetheless. You know, just in case.
