Reviews

Nokia X6

Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.
Nokia 5230

Nokia looks set to flood the market with its growing touchscreen line-up across all the major segments, with the 5230 filling the budget model gap.

Sony Ericsson W302 Walkman

The Sony Ericsson W302 Walkman delivers good sound quality in a neat design for a low price. For those who want a decent, inexpensive phone that plays music, it's a good choice, but don't bother with the poor camera and web browser.

BlueAnt X5 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

A good value headset with comfort on its side, but not if you're an audiophile.
HP Pavilion s3680a Home PC

Obviously being a small desktop, performance isn't at the super high end of the scale. But being on par with a mid-range laptop these days, we don't know why you wouldn't just buy that for cheaper.
Motorola EM330

It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.
