Reviews

  • EOS Wireless multi-room iPod dock

    Given its price and average sound, the EOS only makes sense if you absolutely need to stream music from one room to another.

  • Samsung HD Icon

    If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.

  • Virgin VMX

    The VMX is a phone with many shortcomings, but most of these are outweighed by the AU$99 price tag. For most people who just need the basics, the VMX will do the trick.

  • Samsung Ultra S (S7350)

    The Ultra S is the best Samsung phone in this price range. Anyone looking for decent phone features and an excellent camera should check out the Ultra S, especially lovers of pink.

  • Sony Ericsson T707

    Call us shallow but we like the little T707 for its body, not for its brains. This sexy handset is great at the basics, but lacks any techy extras.

  • Lexus RX350 Sports Luxury (2009)

    Quiet, plush and with enough gadgets on-board — Remote Touch is nice, but where's the hard disk nav and USB folks? — the RX should please most drivers, but it's more of a passenger's car.

  • LG Xenon

    Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.

  • 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.
