TomTom One 140

Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.

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.

Reviews

Nikon D5000

Judged on its own merits, the D5000 is a great digital SLR for those wanting something a bit better than the entry-level D60 model, and equals or betters a lot of the performance specifications of the D90.
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.
Nokia E75

Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.
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.
Nokia 6710 Navigator

Nokia's third Navigator in the series, the 6710, is barely the best of the bunch thus far, with specs and features too similar to last year's release.
Sonim XP3 Enduro

The XP3 Enduro may not look pretty and it has the features of a prepaid mobile, but it's probably the only phone you'll find that can be driven over by a car and still work.
Nokia E63

Like its older brother, the E71, the E63 will make an excellent messaging phone, but is for people who need to be connected without the tech trimmings.
iLife '09

Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.
