LG Watch Phone GD910

The GD910 certainly has wow-factor. It looks like a watch but performs well as a mobile phone cum messenger. Sadly, the high price really dents the appeal of this wonderful gadget.
Jabra Stone

While we love the style, portability and feature set of the Jabra Stone, it does suffer from a few design and performance issues.

The LG 42SL90QD is an edge-lit LED LCD television which includes unique features such as Bluetooth streaming and a "borderless" design.

The H790 may not have some of the complementary technologies we sometimes see in Bluetooth products, but the functions it does perform it does exceptionally well.
Jawbone Prime

The Jawbone Prime's ability to filter out nearby sounds is astonishingly good. We suspect black magic is at work here.
Uniden BTSC1500

It tries to pack a few too many features on to the one button, but otherwise the BTSC1500 makes for a good in-car companion.
Sony Ericsson HCB-105

If you never plan to share it and will never use it in a loud vehicle, the HCB-105 is a good sounding, simple to use choice. Everyone else should look elsewhere.
Philips DC350 iPod Dock

The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.
