Reviews

  • Vodafone Compass

    Compass makes an excellent navigation tool for casual users looking for directions a few times a month or year. More frequent users should look to something more robust.

  • Nokia LD-4W

    The right accessories make easy work of lugging about this well-designed GPS receiver.

  • Nokia 6110 Navigator

    A good 3G slide phone with an excellent screen and sound quality. It feels a little cheap in places, though, and its GPS navigation is highly compromised.

  • O2 Xda Flame

    The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.

  • O2 Xda Atom Life

    The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.

  • O2 Graphite

    O2's latest phone combines many of the features of a PDA with the latest in mobile phone technology including 3G support, push e-mail and video conferencing all in a conventional looking handset.

  • O2 Xda Zinc

    With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.

  • Palm Treo 750

    A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make the Treo 750 the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.

Features

  • Best portable GPS navigators

    All brand name GPS units will get you safely from A to B, but some do it better than others. We nominate a clutch of navigators we'd junk our Gregory's or Melway for.

  • Best GPS-enabled mobile phones

    While it could be argued they're not as robust as in-car sat-navs, these GPS-enabled mobile phones can help you find your bearings when you're on the move.

  • Best touchscreen mobile phones

    In the good old days we'd let our fingers do the walking when using the Yellow Pages. These days our fingers do a lot more with our mobile phones.

  • Top 5 business smartphones

    Want to work on the move but don't want to lug a laptop? You'll need a smartphone that lets you do email, open business documents and browse the web.
