Reviews

  • HTC Touch 3G

    Amongst the numerous HTC handsets this year, the unassuming Touch 3G may not make the strongest impact, but it is certainly one of our favourites.

  • MWg Zinc II

    The Zinc II looks great on paper with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. However, poor design mar the experience, with input being tremendously frustrating.

  • MWg Atom V

    MWg's first Australian release is a solid Windows Mobile smartphone at a reasonable price, let down in part by sluggish performance.

  • HTC S740

    HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

  • BlackBerry Bold 9000

    The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.

  • i-mate JAMA 201

    The JAMA 201 smartphone looks the part of a smartphone, but it's not good enough to be the real deal.

  • HTC Touch Cruise

    While the touchscreen PDA experience won't be for everyone, the Touch Cruise stands out as our favourite of the recent HTC releases.

  • HTC P3600i

    Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.
