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

Arcam FMJ T32

The Arcam FMJ T32 is a pricey but downright fine-sounding DAB radio tuner for the discerning radio enthusiast.
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.

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.
