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.
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.
BlackBerry Bold 9700

While it's hard to recommend it as an upgrade to current Bold owners, the 9700 is an outstanding phone in its own right and is still among the best handsets for business users.
Nokia E72

Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.
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.
