Reviews

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Palm Pre

    With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

  • Samsung UltraTouch (S8300)

    Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.

  • Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

    While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

  • Nokia 5610 XpressMusic

    In a mobile phone market flooded with media playing handsets the 5610 XpressMusic struggles to stand out.

  • ASUS P525

    Attractive and well-rounded, the P525 is a highly proficient smartphone for those that aren't intent on performing extensive data entry.

  • HP iPAQ rw6828

    The BlackBerry for non-corporate users who require extensive multimedia capabilities, in addition to push e-mail.

  • O2 Xphone IIm

    O2's Xphone IIm should appeal to those who want a smarter than average phone, but against serious smartphone opposition it comes a very distinct second.
