Reviews

  • Nokia E72

    Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.

  • Navman MY500XT

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

  • Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

    The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.

  • Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

    Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.

  • 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.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

    Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F310BT

    At just under AU$1,200, the AVIC-310BT is an on-paper bargain. It features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free, GPS navigation with text-to-speech and 3D view, a CD player, USB connectivity and iPod support.

  • HTC Snap

    The Snap will appeal to a specific segment of business-minded road warriors who need good messaging but don't want to pay for extras like media or social networking.

  • Best large-screen GPS navigators

    For the last several years, GPS units have come in two sizes: 3.5-inch and 4.3-inch. Fast forward to 2009 and larger sizes are now not only common, but affordable too.

  • Best budget GPS navigators

    With the words crisis and meltdown being a regular feature in newspaper headlines, we investigate some of the cheaper GPS options out there.

  • Best portable GPS navigators

    All brand name GPS units will get you safely from A to B, but some do it better than others. We nominate a clutch of navigators we'd junk our Gregory's or Melway for.
