Reviews

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.
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.
3 Mobile Broadband USB Modem

It's hard to say whether it's the hardware or the network at fault with 3's USB Mobile Broadband USB Modem. Either way, we're not impressed with what it offers.
Sony Ericsson W950i

Convergence? Yeah, Sony Ericsson's heard of it... This is an excellent MP3 phone let down by a clunky PDA interface and no camera.
Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA Card

Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' — but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.
Zensonic Z500

Zensonic's Z500 is one of the most advanced DVD players we've seen. It has built-in 802.11g wireless, Ethernet and USB connectivity to play almost any type of format you could throw at it.
