Reviews

  • HTC Touch Viva

    The Touch Viva is the baby brother in HTC's latest Touch Series announcements, which features a pared down version of TouchFlo 3D matched with a simplified spec sheet. HSDPA and GPS are notably absent.

  • HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

    HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.

  • HTC P3470

    Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.

  • HTC Touch Cruise

    While the touchscreen PDA experience won't be for everyone, the Touch Cruise stands out as our favourite of the recent HTC releases.

  • HTC P3600i

    Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.

  • ASUS M530w

    The ASUS M530w is a 3G, Windows Mobile PDA-phone with a price tag that'll have CIOs everywhere rejoicing.

  • HTC TyTN II

    It may not be a quantum leap compared with the 838 Pro, but the TyTN II maintains what power users loved in the previous iteration — with a few extras.

  • i-mate Ultimate 8150

    Offering the same zippy performance as the Ultimate 6150, the 8150 gets its nose in front with a handy alpha-numeric keypad.

  • Hands-on with Samsung's i900

    Leaked images and specifications have led to much speculation about the new Samsung SGH-i900, a Windows Mobile 6.1 PDA-phone. We had one in our hands for a few brief moments, and bring you this quick and dirty hands-on description.

  • HTC unveils five mobile devices

    Mobile maker HTC unveiled five new devices for the Australian market last week, including an ultramobile PC called the Shift, and a PDA-phone with a slide-out QWERTY keypad called the TyTN II.

  • Top 10 reasons not to buy an iPhone

    Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it.
