Reviews

  • Navman MY500XT

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

  • Epson Stylus Photo TX710W

    Excellent photo quality and average text quality equals a standard result for the TX710W, a multifunction that's great at some tasks and only just OK at others.

  • Epson Stylus Photo T50

    The T50 is a reasonably priced single-function printer that produces good photos and can handle CDs too, but the ongoing consumable costs and text quality let this inkjet down.

  • Epson Stylus TX210

    A basic multifunction from Epson, with 4 ink cartridges, an LCD screen, and memory card slots, the TX210 is also relatively cheap at AU$129.

  • Epson Stylus TX110

    Simplicity is the deal with the TX110, as it's a basic multifunction printer that won't break the bank. It can only copy though, and print photos with 4 ink tanks - not the standard 6 that you might be used to. Still, it's cheap as chips at AU$89.

  • Epson Stylus TX410

    The TX410 is a multifunction printer with photo capabilities, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.

  • Epson Stylus TX550W

    The TX550W is a wireless-enabled multifunction printer with a 2.5-inch LCD screen and photo printing capabilities.

  • 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.
