Reviews

Samsung Widescreen

The wow-factor of mobile TV aside; the Samsung Widescreen is an underachiever that sacrifices basic phone functions for all the glamour Telstra's Next G network has to offer.
Engin Voicebox 3102

If you want a simple VoIP box with PSTN pass-through, the Voicebox 3102 is it. It's a pity that it's locked to one VoIP provider, however, making it a slightly expensive option.
Alienware Area-51 m9750

Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.
Palm Treo 750

A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make the Treo 750 the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
Linksys WRT54G3G

The Linksys WRT54G3G does an admirable job of simply and seamlessly sharing a Vodafone 3G data connection.
BlackBerry 7250

As a tool for the email-centric, the BlackBerry wins plenty of praise on its own merits and the addition of wireless modem functionality further sweetens the deal.
NetComm V300

The V300 offers quality voice services and simple router functionality in an easy to set up package.
