Reviews

Internode MiFi

Internode's MiFi 3G modem/router works quite well, but carrier issues and high pricing are a big downside.
Samsung S3650 Corby

The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.
Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.
Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.
Samsung HD Icon

If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.
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.
HTC Touch Pro2

Those who can afford the Touch Pro2 will be buying a feature-rich smartphone with a unique conference calling feature and a decent suite of business apps.
Apple iPhone 3GS

The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
