Fast Forward Through JFK with Delta

GQ.com

As much as you live for the city, you love getting out of it just as much, especially if the getaway involves suntan lotion, street dim sum, Bucharest cabarets or any combination thereof.

Mostly, you want to get on a plane as soon as the mood strikes you. Luckily, thanks to Delta, check-in is one part of life you can now fast forward through. (Unfortunately, they have yet to find a solution for bad dates and quarterly meetings).

Delta has a number of ways to speed up and simplify your travel experience. For checking in, go old-school with curbside, online or kiosk (they've added lots of new ones), go exclusive with a dedicated check-in in-terminal at T2 for Elite members or first-class flyers, or go high-tech with their new global mobile check-in, which uses your web-enabled PDA to check in and scan the image at a kiosk for your boarding pass (trust us, aside from saving time it looks pretty damn cool).

Once you're in, enjoy all the upgrades at T2, including a bevy of new dining options like Balducci's and Todd English's Bonfire Steakhouse, so you can fuel up for the journey in the style to which you are accustomed. After your fill of steak, wine and CNN, board via Delta's new "Breezeway," a dedicated boarding experience which allows premium travelers to board at their leisure while offering the rarest experience of all—not having to wait on line.

It all nicely fast forwards you through the muck of travel so you can focus on more important matters: like Beijing crab dumplings and Romanian beaches.

The New Moto RAZR, Pro and Con

Three years—and 50 million units sold—after releasing the era-defining RAZR V3, Motorola has finally put out a sequel. After the even-more-annoyingly-named ROKR, RIZR, and KRZR failed to catch fire—and following Apple's low-key entry into the market—Motorola could use a hit. So is the RAZR 2, which is just hitting shelves now, more Empire Strikes Back or Matrix: Reloaded? Well, it's a little bit of both. The new model looks fantastic: It's two millimeters thinner than its predecessor and boasts a flashy (if easily smudged) brushed-steel and aluminum finish, plus a sizable two-inch exterior screen. Motorola is releasing several models, each tweaked for a different carrier, and choosing one is confusing at best: Sprint customers are stuck with the V9m (left), which can't send or receive email, while Verizon's V9m offers email for an extra fee. AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers, meanwhile, get the V9 and V8, which have email capability as well as CrystalTalk technology, which adjusts call volume to counter ambient noise. (Though for some reason the V9 has far less talk time than the V8.) Whew. All versions have external touch screens that confirm each button selection with an odd little vibration—half cool, half creepy-feeling. The bottom line? The RAZR 2 is a solid if unspectacular phone housed in an unbeatably sleek package. Hey, it worked the first time.

Motorola RAZR 2, from $250 with two-year contract, hellomoto.com. And purists will be pleased to learn there are no plans (yet) to stop selling the original RAZR.

Gifts: JVC's surprisingly great new headphones

You may remember JVC as the maker of the Hyper-Bass-equipped boom box you had back in the late eighties, but the formerly mid-market electronics brand has been on a tear lately. It already makes some of the best high-def TVs and camcorders around, and now it's releasing a pair of noise-canceling headphones that rival anything from Bose or Sennheiser—for a significantly lower price. In addition to 85-percent noise reduction, the HA-NC250s monitor ambient noise levels to adjust the cancellation, and also have a patent-pending "double housing structure," which basically provides an extra layer of old-fashioned insulation in case the battery dies. (Not that that'll happen much: A single AAA battery lasts around 50 hours.) Comfort, meanwhile, is enhanced by memory-foam ear pads. And at 5.3 ounces, the folding 'phones are lighter than comparable Bose models, and these also come with a detachable four-foot cord and dual-plug adapter for use on airplanes. Hyper-Bass, unfortunately, is not included, though with the eighties making such a strong comeback everywhere else, it's only a matter of time.

Golfer Help: SureShot GPS

Some purists may sneer at the idea of bringing tech to the tee, but that's their handicap. One glance at this handheld digital caddy's ultrabright 2.2-inch LCD screen provides distance to the center, back, and front of the green and, more importantly, to hazards, doglegs, and other double-bogey producers not in direct line of sight—something laser range-finders simply can't do. It'll also keep score, suggest club choices, and provide performance analysis on any course (take that, Johnny Miller), though you still have to strike the ball yourself.

The Great Escape
Getting Out of Your Cell Phone Plan

You just want to be free.
It's not a lot to ask for, but when it comes to your suffocating cell phone plan that's standing between you and your next shiny object of addiction, you could use a little help.

Enter Cell Swapper (not the prison-bunk dealer its name implies). Cell Swapper is like an eBay for phone plans, an online middleman helping you sever ties with your mobile provider without paying a termination fee. Its user-friendly (if overly Jetsonian) website allows you to quickly post the details of your current plan and offer an incentive for someone to take over your contract. You can sweeten the pot with almost anything: your undamaged phone, a small amount of cash or your vintage Bee Gees LPs (maybe think twice about that).

Once posted, your cellular package receives national exposure until an interested party, lured by the shorter contract and no activation costs, agrees to pick up your payments. All CS charges to broker the transaction is a $14.95 "success fee."

And don't feel too bad about passing on your problem to somebody else. You know what they say: One man's outdated Nokia with shoddy reception is another man's treasure.
