Nokia N900

What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1

The WX1 is an excellent compact camera with a great feature set and speedy performance, but mixed photo quality makes it miss the mark.

Reviews

Nokia E72

Nokia E72 is a smartphone with loads of attitude and great features , well-suited for busy business people or anyone looking for a cool piece of technology.
Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a solid, but not standout, superzoom option for the money.
LG New Chocolate

If you're looking for an excellent touchscreen with outstanding performance, look elsewhere. The LG New Chocolate looks great but lacks all the hallmarks of a great phone.
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 5530 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price.
Garmin Nuvi 5000

It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.
Sony Ericsson Aino

More a jack of all trades than a renaissance man, the Sony Ericsson Aino boasts a gaggle of interesting features and is genuinely good fun.
INQ Mini

Sporting a funky, small design and social networking features this phone is a great choice for both the young and young at heart.
