Reviews

Sony Ericsson Elm

Sony Ericsson's Greenheart initiative pushing forward with this upcoming budget release. It could also be the top choice for outdoors types, it's stiff plastic cover offering splash resistance.
AgfaPhoto DC-600uw

The AgfaPhoto is a cheap, knockabout waterproof camera that's ideal for life at the beach. The feature set and image quality is average but for the price you can't go too far wrong.
Nokia E72

Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.
Navman MY500XT

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.

Samsung's latest fashion-branded smartphone looks like the sort of mobile a busy man like Giorgio Armani actually needs. But don't expect it to come cheaply.
HTC HD2

HTC's HD2 reads like a perfectly balanced mathematical equation of geeky desire, and when compared to last year's Touch HD, this new model has pluses next to every spec.
