Reviews

  • Samsung F480

    The F480 looks like an Omnia, works like an iPhone and may be the best phone for accessing Next G services, like Foxtel TV.

  • BlackBerry Bold 9000

    The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.

  • HTC Touch Diamond

    It's hard to hate the beautifully designed and feature-rich HTC Touch Diamond, though its frequently laggy interface did test our patience, and its battery life is a concern.

  • Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

    While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

  • Samsung BlackJack

    Samsung's BlackJack is a utilitarian PDA-phone which has some consumer-friendly features that aim to balance its workhorse disposition.

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8100

    The BlackBerry Pearl is designed with both consumers and business professionals in mind with its blend of multimedia features and reliable access to e-mail.

  • iBurst Wireless Card

    iBurst is a superb wireless broadband solution that's highly useful for the mobile business user, but regular consumers will likely find its price to be a deal breaker.
