Reviews

  • 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.

  • Samsung B2700

    If the two main features you need in a phone are a decent media player and convenient calling, then the B2700 won't disappoint.

  • Palm Pre

    With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Samsung F480

    The F480 looks like an Omnia, works like an iPhone and may be the best phone for accessing Next G services, like Foxtel TV.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • SanDisk Sansa Fuze

    Hey there, Nano killer! The Sansa Fuze has its sights set on Apple's skinny player, but comes up a little short. Still, with its extra features and ease of use, it's one to put on the shortlist.

  • Samsung YP-S5 (2GB)

    The S5 takes Samsung's touch-button, speaker-enabled K5 and slims it down. We like it, but what's with the mutant earphones?

  • Apple iPhone vs. Palm Pre

    In 2009, is it out with the old and in with the new, or do you stick with the devil you know? Only a tech death match can decide!

  • Apple iPhone vs Nokia N95

    Will Apple's iPhone reshape the mobile phone market? Are there better devices actually available already? We put the iPhone head-to-head with its competition to see how it stacks up.

  • Motion-sensing comes to mobile phones

    The same technology used in Nintendo's popular Wii video game console that lets you bowl strikes and hit tennis volleys like you're Venus Williams is also making its way into mobile handsets.
