Reviews

Nokia 6710 Navigator

Nokia's third Navigator in the series is the best of the bunch thus far, though its small screen will dissuade many from binning their TomToms for in-car use.
Nokia E52

At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.
Samsung HD Icon

If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.
Samsung Omnia Icon

Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
Nokia 3G Booklet

After years of calling its phones "multimedia computers", Nokia finally launches a real one.
Nokia N97

The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
