Reviews

  • BlackBerry Curve 8520

    With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.

  • HTC Hero

    HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

    The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.

  • 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.

  • HTC P3470

    Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.

  • HTC Shift

    HTC's Shift is yet another UMPC — and another white elephant to add to the pile.

  • Dopod C730

    Dopod's C730 has some great and highly enticing technology hiding under its slim hood. A pity then, that it's such a poor smartphone to actually use.
