Reviews

James Bond: Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace will leave you shaken and stirred, but not entirely satisfied.
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.
Canon Pixma MP460

The Canon Pixma MP460 is a minor update to the MP450. We still like its print quality but were disappointed by its scans. Still, it's one of our top choices for a photo-centric budget all-in-one.
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.
