Reviews

BenQ Joybee GP1

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.
MWg Zinc II

The Zinc II looks great on paper with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. However, poor design mar the experience, with input being tremendously frustrating.
Sony PSP-3000

With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.
O2 Xda Flame

The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.
O2 Xda Atom Life

The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.
O2 Xda Zinc

With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
O2 Xda Stealth

O2's Xda Stealth looks a lot like a regular slider phone, until you flick it open and notice the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, push e-mail capabilities and built-in Wi-Fi support.
O2 Xda Atom Exec

An incremental upgrade to the Atom, the Atom Exec is an incredibly feature-rich, well-designed smartphone.
