Nokia N96

Nokia N96

It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

HTC Touch Pro

HTC Touch Pro

The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.

HTC Viva

HTC Viva

The baby brother of HTC's latest Touch Series announcements, the Touch Viva features a pared down version of TouchFlo 3D matched with a simplified spec sheet. HSDPA data services are notably absent.

Samsung A561

Samsung A561

Samsung's A561 continues the Korean manufacturer's ongoing relationship with Australian Telco Telstra, offering yet another HSDPA capable handset for accessing Next G services like Foxtel TV and Bigpond Music.

Parrot MINIKIT Slim

Parrot MINIKIT Slim

The Parrot Minikit Slim makes it very easy to make and receive calls without taking your eyes off the road to look at your phone, but a poorly executed visor clip makes this otherwise excellent speakerphone feel cheaper than it is.

Jabra BT2050

Jabra BT2050

The BT2050 costs half as much as other Bluetooth headsets, is well designed, but offers only average performance.

Samsung i200

Samsung i200

An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.

HP iPAQ 912c

An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.

HTC Touch 3G

HTC Touch 3G

Of the three new smartphones announced by HTC, the Touch 3G looks destined to suffer middle child syndrome. Its spec sheet falls short of the mouth-watering Touch HD, and its price won't be as attractive as the low-end Viva.

HTC Touch HD

HTC Touch HD

Without a doubt, two of the most highly anticipated and sought after smartphones of 2008 are Apple's iPhone 3G and HTC's Touch Diamond. Have you ever wondered what might happen if you spliced the two together?

Sony Ericsson W980i

Sony Ericsson W980i

Most of our complaints about the W980 are purely cosmetic. Looks aside, this latest Walkman works well as both a phone and a dedicated music player, with a substantial 8GB of storage being the icing on the cake.

Samsung Omnia

Samsung Omnia

Omnia is Latin for everything and Samsung intend to keep this promise cramming every desirable smartphone feature into this device, and even a few features that people are yet to desire. Pricing and carrier details will be made available closer to the Omnia's release at the beginning of November.

Nokia 6210 Navigator

Nokia 6210 Navigator

While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

Parrot SK4000

Parrot SK4000

Parrot's SK4000 is a BlueTooth hands-free kit for motorcycle and scooter helmets.

Motorola RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition

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.
