Reviews

LG Viewty Smart

It's called the Viewty Smart, but it's definitely not a smartphone. Aside from the decent camera, there's very little to recommend this high-priced mobile.
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.
Samsung YP-S5 (2GB)

The S5 takes Samsung's touch-button, speaker-enabled K5 and slims it down. We like it, but what's with the mutant earphones?
Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.
Samsung A711

If you liked the A701, chances are you'll like the A711; it's fundamentally the same phone, just faster.
ASUS U1F

The ASUS U1 is one of the best ultraportable laptops available today, and more than powerful enough for Web browsing and office tasks -- just don't expect it to run 3D games
Gear4 BluPhones

Built for wireless music (and hands-free phone calls to boot), the BluPhones are ultra-light Bluetooth headphones that allow you to cut the cord of any A2DP-compatible device.
Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007

Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 was hard to install and produced several noticeable glitches that distracted us from the benefits of the suite.
