Reviews

HTC HD2

HTC's HD2 reads like a perfectly balanced mathematical equation of geeky desire, and when compared to last year's Touch HD, this new model has pluses next to every spec.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

Sony Ericsson has taken the lid off the Xperia X2, a Windows Mobile smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard that looks suspiciously like last year's model.
LG GM730

The GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.
HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.
Mazda 2 Maxx 3-door hatch (2008)

Shame the spunky, new-age Mazda 2 Maxx doesn't come with direct iPod connectivity. You do get a 3.5mm auxiliary jack and an MP3-capable six CD changer.
Spb Weather 2.0

Spb's Weather for Windows Mobile is fantastic, but its price tag will be too rich for most people looking for an app that tells them whether or not they need to take an umbrella to work.
Samsung i200

An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.
Ad-Aware 2008

This year's update to user favourite Ad-Aware is quite a significant overhaul, and the result is faster scan times and a new interface.
