      Motorola RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

    • Nokia N85

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

    • BlueAnt M1 Stereo Bluetooth Speaker

      BlueAnt M1 Stereo Bluetooth Speaker

      The BlueAnt M1 is a fantastic stereo-Bluetooth speaker that's portable, easy to use, and has great audio quality, to boot.

    • HTC S740

      HTC S740

      HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

    • LG KF390

      LG KF390

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.
