Reviews

  • BlackBerry 8707g

    The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.

  • Freshtel 3010 ATA

    Freshtel's 3010 ATA almost pulls off being an attractive ATA, but we'll settle for it being a stable and easy to use VoIP phone adaptor.

  • Freshtel 2070 Internet Telephone

    Freshtel's 2070 Internet Telephone is a basic but entirely usable VoIP telephone with good audio quality and simple installation.

  • Netcomm MyNetFone V-100

    The V-100 combines solid technology and a service that's cheaper to run than competing VoIP services, and is highly recommended.
