Reviews

Sony Ericsson Vivaz

HD video recording and continuously adjusting auto-focus are features that put the Vivaz into a special class of devices. The fact that it's easy on the eyes is a bonus.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

Sony Ericsson's pebble-like X10 mini will find fans in those looking for something unique, but we wonder about its lasting appeal and how widespread this appeal could be.
LG GT540

LG's GT540 could change the way we think about smartphones if it manages to bring it to Australia as a prepaid handset, and could help to raise the awareness of Android at the same time.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Update: we take the X10 in our own hands and walk away impressed. The software is fast and the X10 gives off an air of sophistication unlike any Android phone before it.
HTC Legend

Chiselled out of a single block of metal, the HTC Legend makes up for its lack of specs with good looks rarely seen in touchscreen devices of late.
LG Mini

The LG Mini gives a strong first impression, but its lack of an applications eco-system could make it hard for a phone that is otherwise as capable as any smartphone.
Samsung Wave

It's a combination of top-tier hardware and a user-friendly experience that gives the Samsung Wave a shot at being the company's next sleeper hit.
Google Chrome 4

The fastest web browser on the market, Google Chrome is a valiant and speedy attempt to redefine how we surf the internet.
