Reviews

  • Nokia X6

    Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.

  • Nokia 5230

    Nokia looks set to flood the market with its growing touchscreen line-up across all the major segments, with the 5230 filling the budget model gap.

  • Corel Home Office

    Despite some compatibility setbacks, Corel Home Office suite is useful for creating documents. Its conscientious size, small-screen optimisations, and attractive price make it a good buy for a Netbook office suite, or for saving space by shedding advanced features.

  • The Beatles: Rock Band

    After a string of disappointing Guitar Hero franchises, Harmonix looks to reinvent the "band-based" rhythm game genre with The Beatles: Rock Band.

  • Sony Ericsson W302 Walkman

    The Sony Ericsson W302 Walkman delivers good sound quality in a neat design for a low price. For those who want a decent, inexpensive phone that plays music, it's a good choice, but don't bother with the poor camera and web browser.

  • Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation)

    The Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation) is not bad as a budget player, but it has too many limitations for us to recommend it.

  • BlueAnt X5 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

    A good value headset with comfort on its side, but not if you're an audiophile.

  • Motorola EM330

    It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.
