Reviews

  • BlackBerry Bold 9700

    It's been a long time between 3G phones, but RIM has finally unveiled the successor to the Bold 9000. This new Bold is smaller, lighter and makes use of an optical trackpad instead of a jogball.

  • Nokia N86 8MP

    There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8520

    With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.

  • LG Shine (TU720)

    LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.

  • Telstra T6

    The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8900

    We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • Sony Ericsson C510

    The C510 rises high above its low price tag and our prepaid prejudices. The camera is decent and it's assisted by excellent shooting modes and settings.

    Let's not beat around the proverbial bush: Archos is going to release an Android-based mobile phone, but the French company is teasing us with the merest hints of what its new device is capable of.

  • Can Vodafone close the rural 3G gap?

    Optus, Vodafone and Three have long struggled to match Telstra's reach outside the capital cities. Vodafone's major network upgrade is the best chance yet to dilute Next G's rural monopoly, but questions remain.
