HTC Hero

With excellent web browsing, email and access to apps, the HTC Hero is one of the few mobiles to truly challenge the iPhone this year.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.
Motorola Dext

Motorola has taken the wraps off its first Android-based smartphone and its exciting new Motoblur user interface. Can the Dext bring Motorola back from the brink?
Samsung Galaxy Icon

While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
Telstra T6

The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.
Samsung C5220

The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.
Telstra Turbo 21 modem

Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.

For the world's first camera based on the micro four thirds format, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is incredibly refined, though not perfect. Still, its size, image quality and design will undoubtedly sway many a first-time SLR buyer.

Will the NBN kill digital TV as we know it?

As the NBN bypasses the airwaves and offers a new pipe into 90 per cent of Australia's homes, could long-languishing IPTV services spell the beginning of the end for TV as we know it?
