Reviews

Creative Sound Blaster Arena Surround

As an all-in-one sound system, the Arena Surround is a solid performer capable of engaging the user in a surround audio experience.
Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
Sony Ericsson C510

The C510 rises high above its low price tag and our prepaid prejudices. The camera is decent and it's assisted by excellent shooting modes and settings.
Nokia 7310 Supernova

Nokia's 7310 Supernova is a pretty phone for pretty people, but this supernova is not a star (in the astronomical or important sense) nor has it exploded in greatness.
Canon Legria HFS10

The awkwardly named Legria HFS10 is the star of Canon's range of high-def flash memory camcorders. It features a larger 8.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, 10x zoom, 32GB of storage, optical image stabilisation and a plethora of inputs and outputs.
Motorola EM330

It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.
Porsche Design P'9521

Maybe it's because we've never actually sat in a Porsche, but we're struggling to find the similarities between the P'9521 and Porsches of the past; except perhaps the exorbitant price tag. With no 3G or Wi-Fi there's very little to justify the expense.
Sony Ericsson K770i

The Sony Ericsson K770i combines good design, useful features and ease of use to produce a pleasing jack-of-all-trades phone at a reasonable price.
