Reviews

LG GT540

LG's GT540 could change the way we think about smartphones if it manages to bring it to Australia as a prepaid handset, and could help to raise the awareness of Android at the same time.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Update: we take the X10 in our own hands and walk away impressed. The software is fast and the X10 gives off an air of sophistication unlike any Android phone before it.
Google Chrome 4

The fastest web browser on the market, Google Chrome is a valiant and speedy attempt to redefine how we surf the internet.
Motorola Dext

Motorola has taken the wraps off its first Android-based smartphone and its exciting new Motoblur user interface. Can the Dext bring Motorola back from the brink?

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 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.
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.
