Reviews

  • Nokia N97

    The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.

  • Samsung Jet

    The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • HP iPaq Data Messenger

    Though it comes with some business-centric security features, this iPaq falls short when compared with other Windows Mobile devices out there.

  • Nokia 6730 Classic

    Vodafone branded, the 6730 offers a lot of Nokia's high-end features in a (hopefully) low-price package. Expect decent email and GPS-guided navigation, plus Nokia's always excellent phone features.

  • Samsung i637 Jack

    Samsung's on to its third Blackjack Windows smartphone, and this could be its best to date. The i637 sports a sharp aesthetic, matched with a full-QWERTY keyboard and the standard connectivity options.

  • LG Crystal GD900

    We finally got our hands on the LG Crystal GD900, which is billed as the world's first transparent-design phone, and the transparent screen is as cool as we hoped — and not half as pointless.

  • Sony Ericsson W995

    The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.
