Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson Aino

    More a jack of all trades than a renaissance man, the Sony Ericsson Aino boasts a gaggle of interesting features and is genuinely good fun.

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.

  • Sony Ericsson Yari

    The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.

  • Sony Ericsson Naite

    Sony Ericsson's Naite isn't a heart-starter but let's face it, the reason you'd buy the Naite is for the secret pleasure of knowing your phone is slightly less of a burden on the environment than those wretched iPhones.

  • Sony Ericsson Satio

    There are a few trade-offs, but overall we're very impressed. The Satio sports a sharp, responsive touchscreen and is possibly the year's best camera phone.

  • Motorola Dext

    Motorola has taken the wraps off its first Android-based smartphone and its exciting new Motoblur user interface. Can the Dext bring Motorola back from the brink?

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

    Sony Ericsson has taken the lid off the Xperia X2, a Windows Mobile smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard that looks suspiciously like last year's model.

  • Sony Ericsson Jalou

    For lovers of jewels or jewel-shaped electronics, the Sony Ericsson Jalou is going to gallop into your heart like a Rhinestone Cowboy.
