Reviews

Nokia 6700 Slide

The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.
Samsung S6700T

If you're looking for an inexpensive phone with a nice, simple interface and a decent number of features, you won't be disappointed with the Samsung S6700T.
Mophie Juice Pack Air

It costs a pretty penny, but for people who need more juice in their iPhone, the Juice Pack Air is worth every cent.
Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 doesn't leave much room for complaint. It fits comfortably in your hand and works on almost any surface, thanks to Microsoft's BlueTrack sensor technology. It would make a useful addition to your mobile arsenal.
Aigo aiPower

The aiPower is built well and works as advertised, but its awkward design means you'll likely detach the unit as soon as your iPhone battery is replenished.
NetComm 3G18Wn 3G USB 11n Wi-Fi Router

The 3G18Wn provides good 802.11n performance, 3G USB modem compatibility and a great fall-back position for those using both wireless and wired internet connections.
Samsung N310

The Samsung N310 is a fashion-conscious netbook that boasts a stunning design, but is pretty bog-standard in terms of features.
