Extend your mobile phone's battery life

There's little in life more frustrating than having your mobile phone run out of battery when you've left your charger at home. Follow these simple tips to extend your phone's battery life and avoid being caught short.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price.

Reviews

  • HTC Hero

    With excellent web browsing, email and access to apps, the HTC Hero is one of the few mobiles to truly challenge the iPhone this year.

  • BlackBerry Bold 9700

    While it's hard to recommend it as an upgrade to current Bold owners, the 9700 is an outstanding phone in its own right and is still among the best handsets for business users.

  • Nokia 6700 Slide

    The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.

  • HTC Tattoo

    If you want an affordable Android smartphone, the Tattoo will fit the bill. Power users should look elsewhere.

  • Sony Ericsson Yari

    The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.

  • Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

    The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.

  • D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615

    At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.

  • Sony Vaio W

    Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
