Reviews

Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.
Samsung NC10

The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Optus E1762 USB Modem

The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.
Sony Ericsson W508

The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.
Sony Ericsson MBS-200

The sound produced by the MBS-200 isn't going to replace a good sound system at home, but it is enough to rock out to in your bedroom, or to take away with you on a holiday with friends.
Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740

It certainly looks the part, but this hands-free headset from Sony Ericsson struggles to give us what we want most — clear call quality.
LG KS360 (WebSlider)

With touchscreen numeric input, a full QWERTY keyboard and super-cheap price tag, there's no better phone for teens that love to message.
Optus USB Slimline Modem

The Optus USB modem works as advertised, but fluctuations in service and a few software bugs have hampered our experience during testing.
