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.

  • 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.

  • Motorola H790 Bluetooth Headset

    The H790 may not have some of the complementary technologies we sometimes see in Bluetooth products, but the functions it does perform it does exceptionally well.

  • INQ Mini

    Sporting a funky, small design and social networking features this phone is a great choice for both the young and young at heart.

  • Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700)

    On the surface the Spica looks like a very competent smartphone, but we're beginning to expect a lot more from manufacturers that take on Google's OS.
