Reviews

Sony Ericsson Vivaz

HD video recording and continuously adjusting auto-focus are features that put the Vivaz into a special class of devices. The fact that it's easy on the eyes is a bonus.
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

The Xperia X10 mini pro will take up less space in your pant's pockets than the big daddy X10, but the addition of a full-QWERTY keyboard should attract texters to this pint-sized marvel.
Band Hero (DS)

The DS version of Band Hero tries to deliver the experience you get from the full console versions of Band Hero, but struggles to deliver a genuinely fun portable gaming experience.
Samsung S3650 Corby

The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.
INQ Chat 3G

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.
