Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.

Samsung S7330

The S7330 is little more than a basic mobile phone with a flashy-looking touch panel for navigation. It works well but it's a little pricey for the phone you actually get.

Reviews

  • HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

    The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.

  • HTC Touch 3G

    Amongst the numerous HTC handsets this year, the unassuming Touch 3G may not make the strongest impact, but it is certainly one of our favourites.

  • MWg Zinc II

    The Zinc II looks great on paper with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. However, poor design mar the experience, with input being tremendously frustrating.

  • Samsung A561

    Samsung A561's not-too-flashy subdued looks will suit anyone who is after a phone that handles calls well with some additional features that will help while away time when commuting. It's great for business users and consumers alike with its Next G capabilities and ease of use.

  • Sony Ericsson K850i

    Sony Ericsson's K850i is a decent, if somewhat bulky, camera phone. Its 5-megapixel resolution is on par with the best, but shutter lag and strange navigation keys let it down.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8310

    RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.

  • Motorola RAZR2 V9

    Far from being another update, the sequel to the V3 is a whole different kind of RAZR, with rounder edges, shiny surfaces and -- somehow -- a thinner silhouette.

  • Samsung A801

    Available on Telstra's Next G network, Samsung's slide-open A801 has a slim 13.8mm profile and sports a 3-megapixel camera.
