Samsung Omnia i900 review

Reviews You can also use Windows Messenger, which is handy if you regularly use it on a desktop and want a mobile instant-messaging solution. Samsung continues to push deeper and further into every conceivable tech market, including every category of...

Nokia 7310 Supernova review

Reviews Handy for a little emergency lippy, but it also means that in bright light, you might find it difficult to see clearly. If you grew up during the early 90s you'll remember that certain Nokia handsets boasted removable covers.

Sony RDR-HXD995 review

Reviews There's even a coaxial digital audio output, for hooking up an AV receiver -- handy if you're not planning on using the HDMI, or don't have an HDMI-capable surround-sound system. If we could just get rid of channels trying to sell you lumps of fake...

Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000 review

Reviews Aside from having one of the ugliest and over-the-top names we've ever seen, it's actually a handy little feature designed to make navigating around the TV's inputs and setting menus a little less painful.

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

Reviews You also now get a reset switch, which is handy if the machine crashes. We reviewed the Popcorn Hour A-100 a few months back and were blown away. It was an impressive device, because for around £150 you got a media streamer that can play virtually...

Binatone Carrera C350BT review

Reviews There's a menu button on the front for quick access to the customised start screen, which lets you access a picture viewer (there's no MP3/video player), settings, a handy Bluetooth hands-free option for mobile calls and the GPS software.

LG DP391B review

Reviews To watch a DVD you can either hold it like you would a computer, or a PSP, or if you have a table handy, you can flip down the battery and use it as a sort of kickstand. Life can be a little boring sometimes.

Olympus SP-570 UZ review

Reviews The autofocus is quite fast, but there's a manual focus mode too, activated by a handy switch on the side of the lens. The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest op tical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus...

Nokia 6650 review

Reviews The Nokia Maps software is pretty easy to get to grips with and very handy when you're lost in a city. A clamshell phone is something of a rarity from Nokia, so it's interesting to see the 6650 sporting a design that's not a million miles away from...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 review

Reviews Depending on your point of view, superzooms are either the dSLR-like cameras you can carry around easily or overpowered compacts that don't fit in your pocket. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 is a 9.1-megapixel superzoom, sporting a 15x optical zoom...

Logitech Pure-Fi Mobile review

Reviews It would have been handy to be able to adjust the volume or cycle through the inputs via remote from across a room. Who needs wires? Not us, says Logitech, with its Pure-Fi Mobile portable speaker system.

Toshiba SD-P91S review

Reviews This is handy if you're an amateur filmmaker on location who needs to see the last scene played back. Long journeys aren't fun, especially if you're a parent. Fortunately, portable DVD players offer some respite for all involved.

Nokia 6220 Classic review

Reviews We tested it out with Google Maps and it worked well, which is very handy when you're lost and need to find your way home. Nokia's 6220 Classic offers a more lightweight alternative and a xenon flash among its myriad features.

TVonics MFR-300 review

Reviews You also get audio description support, which is handy if you have problems with sight and would like extra audio information about what's happening on screen. When this happens between now and 2012, there will be a lot of older sets that will no...

DVICO TViX HD M-6500A review

Reviews Photo slideshows were good, too, which is handy if you want to use your TV as a giant photo frame. DVICO's TViX HD M-6500A alters our perspective slightly: it's not as cheap, but it does offer some advantages over other such devices.
