Sony Ericsson Vivaz

HD video recording and continuously adjusting auto-focus are features that put the Vivaz into a special class of devices. The fact that it's easy on the eyes is a bonus.

Reviews

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

Sony Ericsson's pebble-like X10 mini will find fans in those looking for something unique, but we wonder about its lasting appeal and how widespread this appeal could be.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro

The Xperia X10 mini pro will take up less space in your pant's pockets than the big daddy X10, but the addition of a full-QWERTY keyboard should attract texters to this pint-sized marvel.
Samsung S3650 Corby

The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.
INQ Chat 3G

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.
Jabra Halo

Jabra's Halo is stylish to look at, but just too fiddly to use on a regular basis.
Nokia 6700 Slide

The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.
Samsung S6700T

If you're looking for an inexpensive phone with a nice, simple interface and a decent number of features, you won't be disappointed with the Samsung S6700T.
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 doesn't leave much room for complaint. It fits comfortably in your hand and works on almost any surface, thanks to Microsoft's BlueTrack sensor technology. It would make a useful addition to your mobile arsenal.
