Reviews

  • Dell Inspiron 15

    The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.

  • Toshiba Satellite L500D

    We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.

  • Sony Ericsson S312

    Though its spec sheet is a little thin, the S312 looks like it has the solid build of an excellent low-end mobile.

  • Sony Ericsson T303

    As far as small phones go, the T303 is solid and attractive. Unfortunately it lacks features such as an expandable memory slot and 3G network compatibility.

  • Motorola ROKR EM330

    Like its musical sibling the EM325, Motorola's EM330 crams music phone goodness into a simple flip phone form factor. Motorola promise fast drag and drop USB 2.0 connections to PCs and a 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting your favourite headset. Watch out for the EM330 when it lands down under in October.

  • Motorola ROKR EM325

    Motorola's EM325 packs a few essential music phone features into a sleek slider form factor. A 3.5mm headphone port and miscroSD memory expansion are featured alongside an FM radio and SongID music identification software. Look forward to the EM325 being released in October.

  • Motorola ROKR EM30

    The big daddy of Motorola's new EM range of ROKR music phones, the EM30 features a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD memory expansion and an adaptive touch panel similar to the MOTOROKR E8. Expect a full review when the EM30 is released in Australia in October.

  • LG Shine Bar (KE770)

    The Shine Bar shares the celebrity good-looks of its parent phone, but a few basic flaws hold it back from being truly desirable, even for the budget price tag.
