Reviews

  • Samsung Omnia

    In terms of features the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day.

  • Sony Vaio VGF-WA1

    While Web radio is kind of neat, this Vaio is pricey and if you plan to only play MP3s, we'd suggest just getting a set of speakers for your MP3 player.

  • Sony Ericsson W200i

    The W200i is an entry level music phone with the famous Walkman branding, but in its case you're paying a lot for a logo -- even if it is an entry-level phone.

  • Samsung BlackJack

    Samsung's BlackJack is a utilitarian PDA-phone which has some consumer-friendly features that aim to balance its workhorse disposition.

  • Motorola RIZR Z3

    RAZR style in a slider design is what the RIZR is all about. Available now through Vodafone and Optus, Motorola's RIZR sports a 2-megapixel camera, MP3 player and stereo Bluetooth.

  • Nokia N73

    Nokia's N73 is one of the best camera phones we've seen this year, with a wide range of multimedia and business features tucked under its belt. Responsiveness, however, is not a strong point.

  • Acer TravelMate 8200

    From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud -- but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch; 1.67GHz)

    The 17-inch PowerBook G4 delivers a competitive set of features, a great software package, good battery life, and style in spades, but you can find plenty of less expensive options out there.
