Reviews

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.
Kogan Agora Pro

The Agora brings the concept of a low-cost netbook firmly back on the agenda, but its woeful wireless performance seriously detracts from its value proposition.
Nokia N96

It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.
Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300

The WNDR3300 looks the part of a shiny, fast 802.11n router. Looks are deceptive; this is a sluggish unit in what should be its best operating mode.
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.
Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
HP TouchSmart IQ505a

The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.
Belkin TuneStudio

The Belkin TuneStudio is an excellent four-track recorder which is best when used with a Mac or PC. It includes pro-level features such as a compressor and phantom power.
