The Blackberry Bold 9900—"I've already made my commitment to Blackberry clear, which is why I am sweating the new super-skinny Bold, which is actually the thinnest Blackberry, ever. My friend got one when it launched in the end of August, and I've been jealous watching him use the touchscreen and the bigger keyboard. I don't like being jealous."
$299.99, available at T Mobile.

SWIMS Charles Full Brogue—"I have a feeling it's going to be a rainy fall, but I hate wearing those big-ass rubber boots. Here's where this totally water-repellent brogue comes in. It's classic, but that strip of orange adds some style to any storm. Bring it on, Mother Nature."
