Reviews

  • iiNet BoB wireless modem

    iiNet customers who yearn for a simple networking life will do well out of BoB, although like most routers, it's not without its quirks.

  • Skype 4.1 beta

  • BenQ nScreen i91

  • Jabra BT5020 Headset with Bluetooth Hub

    The lack of a phone headset lifter makes this headset/hub combo less intriguing than it really should be.

  • Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

  • 3 Skypephone

    Whether you plan to use Skype or not, the Skypephone is a full-featured budget priced phone and value for money if you don't break it first.

  • Engin Voicebox 3102

    If you want a simple VoIP box with PSTN pass-through, the Voicebox 3102 is it. It's a pity that it's locked to one VoIP provider, however, making it a slightly expensive option.
