Mobile Phones - Reviews
LG KF700
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
BlackBerry 8707g
The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.
BlueAnt Supertooth 3
The BlueAnt Wireless Supertooth 3 is an excellent choice for a portable car speakerphone, especially since it will read out incoming caller ID so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Samsung SBH700 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Samsung's Bluetooth stereo headset has a sporty look, but fails to cross the finish line properly.
Sony Ericsson C902
Camera phones with 5 megapixels are no longer just for people with huge pockets. The C902 packs a very mean shooter into a very slim package and delivers excellent photos.
Palm Centro
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)
Though there are still some big features missing from the iPhone, the addition of 3G and GPS, the affordable price tag, and extra features from the iPhone 2.0 software update make the handset a worthy prospect.
Plantronics Voyager 855
If you really like the idea of one device serving two functions, the Voyager 855 fits the bill perfectly. However, audiophiles should avoid this model for its poor music quality.
i-mate JAMA 201
The JAMA 201 smartphone looks the part of a smartphone, but it's not good enough to be the real deal.
Sony Ericsson C702
There's a lot to like about the C702, sadly the Cyber-shot camera is not part of this list. People hunting for a rugged mobile phone will rejoice at this compact and attractive option.
HTC Touch Pro
With the tech-savvy still drooling over the Touch Diamond, HTC has followed up with the announcement of the Touch Pro. The obvious difference is a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, though under the hood HTC has tweaked a few key specs.
Samsung M110
Like Crocodile Dundee, the M110 would be great in the bush but not so well-suited to city living. The M110 willl suit those who are bound to get the phone dirty, but its rugged exterior doesn't exactly protect a wealth of valuable technology
Samsung A551
As Next G handsets go, the A551 isn't the best, nor is it the worst. Its middle of the road design and feature set is matched by a mid-range price tag.
BlackBerry Pearl 8110
The 8110 isn't so much an updated model as it's virtually identical to the previously released Pearl 8120, excluding the fact that the 8110 includes a GPS chipset, but is without Wi-Fi.
Samsung G800
The G800's chunky, pocket-straining dimensions promises a level of quality that isn't evident in the photos it takes. It's better than average, but well below the best we've seen.
Jabra BT5020 Headset with Bluetooth Hub
The lack of a phone headset lifter makes this headset/hub combo less intriguing than it really should be.
Nokia MD-6
Shaped like a giant stick of lipstick or the butt of a Star Wars lightsaber, the MD-6 flips open to reveal stereo speakers which deliver quite a big sound for such a small package.
LG Shine Bar (KE770)
The Shine Bar shares the celebrity good-looks of its parent phone, but a few basic flaws hold it back from being truly desirable, even for the budget price tag.
LG Shine Slide (KE970)
LG has put the original Shine in the dryer by mistake, shrinking its size, specs and price tag to make an affordable version of the popular handset.
Nokia Bluetooth Speakers MD-7W
If you have the phone and the cash, the Nokia Bluetooth Speakers MD-7W make an ideal accessory to maximise your music handset.
