  • Nokia E52

    At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.

  • Nokia N86 8MP

  • Optus E1762 USB Modem

  • NetComm 3G18Wn 3G USB 11n Wi-Fi Router

    The 3G18Wn provides good 802.11n performance, 3G USB modem compatibility and a great fall-back position for those using both wireless and wired internet connections.
