Reviews

  • 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.

  • HTC P3470

    Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.

  • 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.

  • Palm Treo 750

    A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make the Treo 750 the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.

  • Telstra hiptop 2

    With consumer-friendly mobile email, instant messaging, SMS and even Web browsing, and a deal that gives you almost unlimited data for $1 per day, Telstra's hiptop 2 looks set to become BlackBerry for teens and twentysomethings -- it could even topple an iPod as the hottest thing under the Christmas tree this year.

  • Dopod 838 Pro

    An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype.

  • ASUS P525

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

  • BlackBerry 8700

    The BlackBerry 8700 series is ideal for mobile professionals who require always-on e-mail access, but it's not so good for non-business users.
