OLED TV makers look to shift out of neutral

Samsung and LG say they intend to increase production of bigger TVs using the new technology, though that is still years away.

Nokia 6720 Classic

With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.

Reviews

  • LG Viewty Smart

    It's called the Viewty Smart, but it's definitely not a smartphone. Aside from the decent camera, there's very little to recommend this high-priced mobile.

  • Sony Ericsson W508

    The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.

  • 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.

  • Dualsim Slider

    The genius of the dual-SIM technology is overshadowed by missing basic features, poor navigation and terrible battery life. The idea is right, but this phone needs to be refined.

  • Nokia WH-500 hands-free headset

    Nokia's WH-500 is a decent, if expensive, hands-free headset, but we wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for a set of good sounding headphones.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Samsung CLP-310

    You don't get blazingly fast laser speeds with the CLP-310, but it does live up to the hype of offering affordable colour laser printing in a small form factor.
