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

BlackBerry Bold 9700 review

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:08:01 +0000

The Bold 9700 is the best of the BlackBerry bunch, offering all the features that made previous models great and improving on everything else. It may not be as innovative as its smart-phone rivals, but its zippy performance, vivid screen and reliable email service are very appealing

Nokia E55 review

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:52:02 +0000

The E55 smart phone impresses for numerous reasons. Its hybrid alphanumeric/Qwerty keypad is surprisingly effective once you get used to it, it offers excellent battery life, it's easy to use, and, for a smart phone, it's amazingly slim. Overall, this is a great handset

T-Mobile Pulse review

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:21:02 +0000

The first pay-as-you-go Android phone, T-Mobile's Pulse is well worth its meagre price tag. It's not without its flaws, such as a plasticky body and fairly sluggish on-screen keyboards, but it offers a large touchscreen and affordable access to the scintillating world of Android apps

BlackBerry Curve 8520 review

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:17:02 +0000

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 provides an affordable and enjoyable way to enter the world of raging CrackBerry addiction. With a full Qwerty keyboard and good social-networking and messaging apps, it holds plenty of appeal for social butterflies. Just make sure you get it in black

HTC Snap review

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:47:02 +0000

Clearly inspired by the BlackBerry Curve range, the Snap is one of the better messaging-focused Windows Mobile smart phones on the market. It's easy to type quickly on the brilliant Qwerty keyboard, and it also sports the excellent Inner Circle software, which lets you prioritise messages from your most important contacts

Palm Pre (US version) review

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:32:02 +0000

It's not without its flaws, but, when the Pre's good, it's very good. Its multitasking functionality and notifications system, for example, are streets ahead of the competition, and the webOS is a really solid and stable platform. The iPhone may still have the edge but Palm is back in the game

Nokia E75 review

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:23:01 +0000

The Nokia E75 is a solid smart phone that combines a sliding Qwerty keyboard with the small alphanumeric keypad of a candybar phone. With the familiar Nokia user interface, it's a powerful device that can handle both work and play without any drama

BlackBerry Curve 8900 review

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:57:02 +0000

The 8900 is a compact, attractive handset that boasts a full Qwerty keypad and looks and feels like a quality product. The 8900 is also fast, and handles email and video well, but a lack of 3G prevents a smooth GPS experience and detracts from the phone's appeal

BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 review

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 16:27:02 +0000

RIM's first attempt at a clamshell phone is a smartly designed and usable piece of kit. All the usual BlackBerry email functionality is there, but in a more elegant chassis. A large screen and keypad make Web surfing and emailing easy, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is a handy bonus
