Reviews

Nokia C5

The C5 looks like the older Nokias we know and love but with a fresh coat of paint and improved with 3G, A-GPS, maps, memory and the Ovi Store.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

Sony Ericsson's pebble-like X10 mini will find fans in those looking for something unique, but we wonder about its lasting appeal and how widespread this appeal could be.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro

HP's sturdy and stylish Mini 5102 is a slight upgrade to one of our favourite netbooks, but we had hoped for a little more fresh thinking for 2010.
Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

As one of the few netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better.
