Reviews

HTC HD mini

Do you disagree with the bigger-is-better camp? Fear not, HTC has those with small pockets covered with the upcoming release of its scaled down HD2.
Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50

The nuvifone's Linux heritage can be seen in the M50, an Android nuvifone that certainly doesn't skimp in the navigation department.

HTC Desire

HTC sets the bar high for the competition with a handset that truly lives up to its name. The Desire packs a punch with solid hardware and class-leading smartphone software.
