Reviews

LG BD390

The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, super-fast loading times and rich features make it one of our top choices among premium stand-alone Blu-ray players.
Nokia E52

At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.
Nokia 3G Booklet

After years of calling its phones "multimedia computers", Nokia finally launches a real one.
Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.
Samsung INNOV8 (i8510)

The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist.
Nokia E66

While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB

The Creative Zen X-Fi is finally here, and while it fits in the pocket and sound quality is excellent, the iPod Touch is still a superior product.
Nikon Coolpix S52c

The Nikon Coolpix S52c is almost identical to the S52, the only difference being the addition of Wi-Fi to its feature set and a slight bulge to its design.
