Reviews

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.
TomTom Start

Featuring a simplified menu structure and detachable (extra cost) covers, the Start features a 3.5-inch touchscreen, text-to-speech and map correction.
TomTom XXL 540

The extra X in the XXL 540 is there to denote the unit's large 5-inch touchscreen. It also features map correction, and junction view and lane guidance.
TomTom Go 950

The top-of-the-range TomTom model features a 4.3-inch screen, voice recognition, Bluetooth hands-free, dead reckoning, map correction, junction views and lane guidance, and maps for the US, Europe and NZ. MP3 playback and the FM transmitter are no more though.
TomTom Go 750

The TomTom Go 750 features a 4.3-inch screen, a decent windshield mount, Bluetooth hands-free, voice commands, map correction, lane guidance and junction views, but misses out on the FM transmitter from last year's Go 730.
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.
