Reviews

  • 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.

  • Nokia X6

    Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.

  • Nokia 5230

    Nokia looks set to flood the market with its growing touchscreen line-up across all the major segments, with the 5230 filling the budget model gap.

  • Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones

    The original and still the best, the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones sound good and look great, but if you're looking for an exciting result these aren't for you.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

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

  • Sony Ericsson W995

    The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.

  • Creative Aurvana Air

    The Creative Aurvana Air is a beautiful looking and sounding set of headphones, but it's expensive and not suited to public transport.
