Reviews

Sony Ericsson W705

Average call quality on an otherwise killer music mobile. The W705 ticks most of the right boxes, and is cute as a button, but is letdown in a few key areas.
Cowon S9

The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.
Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.
Palm Treo Pro

Beneath its iPhone-esque exterior lurks a very capable business phone.The Palm Treo Pro may not have the snazzy interface designs of the competition, but this means it performs better in most areas.
Linksys CIT400 Skype Phone

The Linksys CIT400 allows you to make both land-line and Skype calls, all without a PC.
Apple iPhone

Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.
Nokia N73

Nokia's N73 is one of the best camera phones we've seen this year, with a wide range of multimedia and business features tucked under its belt. Responsiveness, however, is not a strong point.
Motorola ROKR E1

The Motorola Rokr is the first phone to feature an iTunes mobile music player from Apple, but in Australia, it is licenced to hold a maximum of only 50 MP3/AAC songs.
