Reviews

iXpand 3G

Despite its stylish iPhone-like design, the iXpand 3G is best avoided due to its sub-par battery performance.
HTC HD mini

Do you disagree with the bigger-is-better camp? Fear not, HTC has those with small pockets covered with the upcoming release of its scaled down HD2.
Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50

The nuvifone's Linux heritage can be seen in the M50, an Android nuvifone that certainly doesn't skimp in the navigation department.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Update: we take the X10 in our own hands and walk away impressed. The software is fast and the X10 gives off an air of sophistication unlike any Android phone before it.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (iPhone)

The success of a GTA port for the iPhone was always going to rest on the implementation of good controls. Rockstar has quite a ways to go before it masters this aspect on the iPhone platform.
Soniq iM600K

Despite some clunky features, Soniq has ensured its iM600K iPod sounds good, and for a little over a hundred bucks it's a minor miracle.

There's no doubt in our minds that the combination of power, features and good looks make the HTC HD2 the best Windows Mobile smartphone ever made.
HTC Smart

Smartphones may be the rage these days, but the HTC Smart isn't exactly a smartphone regardless of what its name suggests.
