Reviews

Samsung NC10

The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Optus E1762 USB Modem

The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.
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.
Nokia Ovi Store

It's got a long way to go before it catches Apple's App Store in regards to both quantity and quality of apps, but Nokia's Ovi Store definitely shows promise.
LG KS360 (WebSlider)

With touchscreen numeric input, a full QWERTY keyboard and super-cheap price tag, there's no better phone for teens that love to message.
Optus USB Slimline Modem

The Optus USB modem works as advertised, but fluctuations in service and a few software bugs have hampered our experience during testing.
Samsung SGH-i780

With two batteries and a separate charger, the SGH-i780 could be a wise choice for the mobile professional, although it's a bit bulky and the screen is a touch small for some applications
Google Apps for Your Domain

Google Apps for Your Domain lets you brand online services with your own URL, but it doesn't eat the costs of domain registration as Microsoft Office Live does.
