Reviews

  • LG Watch Phone GD910

    The GD910 certainly has wow-factor. It looks like a watch but performs well as a mobile phone cum messenger. Sadly, the high price really dents the appeal of this wonderful gadget.

  • Nokia N900

    What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.

  • Nokia E72

    Nokia E72 is a smartphone with loads of attitude and great features , well-suited for busy business people or anyone looking for a cool piece of technology.

  • LG 55SL80YD

    The LG 55SL80YD is a 37-inch LCD television with a "borderless" design and Bluetooth connectivity.

  • LG 42SL80YD

    The LG 42SL80YD is a 42-inch LCD television with a "borderless" design and Bluetooth connectivity.

  • LG 37SL80YD

    The LG 37SL80YD is a 37-inch LCD television with a "borderless" design and Bluetooth connectivity.

  • Nokia 6760 Slide

    Awkward design choices spoil an otherwise excellent phone for people who rate messaging features over calling or web browsing.

  • LG New Chocolate

    If you're looking for an excellent touchscreen with outstanding performance, look elsewhere. The LG New Chocolate looks great but lacks all the hallmarks of a great phone.

    While sales for smartphones rise, there will still be an enduring market of people looking for simple phones that do the basics well.

  • Top 5 camera phones

    These mobiles aren't just great phones, they are excellent cameras as well. And they're not your low-res cameras either, but multi-megapixel wonders.

  • Best touchscreen mobile phones

    In the good old days we'd let our fingers do the walking when using the Yellow Pages. These days our fingers do a lot more with our mobile phones.
