C'mon, if you're going to give somebody a cell phone or smart phone as a present, make it a cool one. Here are today's hottest phones and a couple of mobile headsets that will do them justice.

Cell phone: Helio Drift

The new Helio Drift slider phone built by Samsung is all about style -- and location. Sure, it's packed with amazing features, such as a 2-megapixel camera with a built-in flash, an outstanding 2.12-in. QVGA 262,000-color display, MP3 music support and built-in 3-D games. But Google Maps and integrated GPS set the Helio Drift apart from the pack.

Google Maps on the Drift works just like the real thing. You can zoom in, pan in any direction, and view "Map" or "Satellite" views. The Drift's built-in GPS, however, makes it even more powerful. The GPS/Maps combo gives you step-by-step directions, and it lists restaurants and other services along your route, and even offers real-time traffic reports in 30 U.S. cities. A new "BuddyBeacon" service shows you where up to 25 family members, friends or co-workers are located in real time. You can turn it off whenever you want, and nobody can find you.

You can have the phone in any color you want, as long as you want black or white. Like other slider phones, the Drift splits in half, with the back half sliding down to reveal the keypad. The phone is very small for a GPS device -- 3.8 by 1.8 by 0.7 in. -- and it weighs only 3.53 oz. You can boost the Drift's 128MB of storage using the phone's MicroSD slot. It also supports Bluetooth -- which is important in states like California where it will soon be illegal to talk on a phone without a wireless headset while driving.
