BlackBerry Storm 2 review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:32:01 +0000

Anyone who finds normal touchscreens too fiddly will appreciate the BlackBerry Storm 2's clicking version, which makes it easy to tap accurately. The usual range of BlackBerry features is also included, making this handset well worth a look for email fiends with a hankering for a touch-sensitive interface

HTC HD2 review

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:38:02 +0000

Hail the current king of Windows Mobile smart phones. With a huge, 109mm capacitive touchscreen, a plethora of features and its beautiful HTC Sense user interface, the responsive and speedy HD2 achieves the near impossible -- making Windows Mobile desirable

HTC Touch2 review

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:00:00 +0000

The diminutive Touch2 is the first smart phone we've seen that runs Windows Mobile 6.5, and we're pleased to say that, although not perfect, the operating system is an improvement over previous versions. The Touch2 also benefits from access to the satisfying My Phone online syncing service, and Microsoft's app store

Nokia 6303 Classic review

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:32:01 +0000

Unlike most budget phones, the 6303 Classic is worth getting excited about. While it doesn't offer any high-end features, it's simple in a remarkably elegant way. It's a perfect choice for those seeking a good-looking and solidly built handset for basic calling and texting

HTC Touch Pro2 review

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:23:02 +0000

The Touch Pro2 is one of the biggest phones we've seen in a long time, but that's not necessarily a bad thing: there's plenty of room for a large, high-resolution touchscreen and spacious, slide-out keyboard. For those who want to send plenty of messages without getting hand cramp, this powerhouse is worth a look

Nokia 6700 Classic review

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:11:01 +0000

Magpies and those left cold by the prospect of a fancy-pants smart phone will find much to like in the shiny 6700 Classic. Well-made, attractive and affordable, it's got all the basics thoroughly covered, and throws in a few extras too, like a high-quality camera and customisable home page

HTC Hero review

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:51:01 +0000

The HTC Hero is the best Android phone yet. Among many other delights, it boasts a great on-screen keyboard, multitouch functionality and an innovative user interface that smoothes over many of Android's rough edges. While it can occasionally be sluggish, it's a true rival to Apple's iPhone

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 (X series) review

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:59:02 +0000

The Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 is a pricy portable media player, but it offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. Chief among them are its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, excellent OLED touchscreen and truly fantastic audio quality. But is it better than the iPod touch?

Acer Tempo X960 review

Fri, 29 May 2009 11:54:01 +0000

Among Acer's first forays into touchscreen smart phone territory, the Tempo X960 on paper looks like a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that ticks all the right boxes. With HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity for speedy Web browsing, can it strike fear into the hearts of its rivals?

Nokia 7100 Supernova review

Tue, 26 May 2009 11:21:02 +0000

The 7100 Supernova is a small, glossy slider with all the essential features and a decent keypad that makes texting easy. With a poor camera and not much memory, it doesn't do much else, but, for those looking to keep it simple and save some cash, this budget phone could be just the ticket
