Reviews

  • Motorola MOTOSURF A3100

    The MOTOSURF A3100 is a valiant attempt at a Windows Mobile handset, but its various problems affect important aspects of the phone and spoil the overall experience of using it.

  • Samsung UltraTouch (S8300)

    Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.

  • Samsung A561

    Samsung A561's not-too-flashy subdued looks will suit anyone who is after a phone that handles calls well with some additional features that will help while away time when commuting. It's great for business users and consumers alike with its Next G capabilities and ease of use.

  • HTC Touch Pro

    The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.

  • Palm Treo Pro

    Beneath its iPhone-esque exterior lurks a very capable business phone.The Palm Treo Pro may not have the snazzy interface designs of the competition, but this means it performs better in most areas.

  • HTC Touch Diamond

    It's hard to hate the beautifully designed and feature-rich HTC Touch Diamond, though its frequently laggy interface did test our patience, and its battery life is a concern.

  • Telstra F165

    Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.

  • LG Chocolate phone: Simple but stunning

    We still can't get our heads around why LG chose "Chocolate" as the pet name for its KG800 mobile phone -- is it because it's desirable, comes in chocolate box-shapped packaging or has smooth, touch-sensitive navigation?

  • Mobile TV gives a new view of Games

    Apple may be doing well selling downloadable TV shows for viewing on iPods, but the world-first technology being demonstrated by Telstra and Microsoft at Melbourne's Commonwealth Games could soon knock the download-and-watch model on its head.

  • BigPond Movies makes on-demand video a reality

    Telstra today launched Australia's first online movie download service, aptly named "BigPond Movies Downloads". The service went live at around 10am this morning and allows users to rent movies, TV shows, sport, short films, and music videos from a library of 1000 titles.
