Bringing it all back home

Digital Living This setup means that I need to deal with a phone company, a cable company, a mobile phone company and a satellite television provider and I get umpteen bills from all these different suppliers. I'm a typical UK consumer: I have a Telewest cable...

End the gadget madness and put the iPod down

Digital Living A sinister bulge from a concealed mobile phone, a jacket hanging oddly from the heavy weight of a PDA, cruel silver Samsonite briefcases containing God-knows-what computing firepower. This morning I was armed with a Treo 650 Palm OS smart phone in...

BT has seen the future, and it's white

Digital Living Juggling the address book on our phone at home and the address book on my mobile gets to be a pain, and having one phone with one number that I can use cheaply when I'm at home at the evening and at weekends is a sensible idea.

Phones for sport

Digital Living Which mobile phone do you recommend? I'm looking to upgrade my phone in the next few months and want to invest in a phone that will survive knocks and falls. Exercise and outdoor activities are good for you, but they're not always good for your phone.

Email on a Motorola Razr V3

Digital Living Trying to set up email on a mobile phone can be very confusing and, at times, extremely frustrating. If you want to access your own email account, like a Google Mail or Yahoo Mail account, you need to find out if you have POP3 or IMAP4 access...

LG Prada KE850

Digital Living LG's Prada phone is touted as this season's must-have mobile. As you'd expect from its designer origins, it looks stunning, but is it more flashy fashion than functioning features?

When will the iPhone be released in the UK?

Digital Living I love Apple products and when I heard that Apple is making a mobile phone, I almost jumped out of my seat with joy. This means that unless you're prepared to pay the roaming costs of using a US mobile in the UK, you won't be able to use it.

Which laptop bag should I get?

Digital Living Look for backpacks with padding to protect your laptop against knocks and falls, and with extra compartments for your mobile phone and other gadgets. I need to get a bag for my 14-inch laptop, so I can take it with me on trips and on holiday.
