Sony Ericsson W960i

Digital Living All the cool kids have music phones and they can thank Sony Ericsson for them. With a certain Apple handset on the scene, does this latest Walkman phone impress enough to win the popularity contest?

Should I buy a camera or a camera phone? review

Digital Living But I've heard that camera phones are so good now that I don't need to buy a proper camera. There's been a spate of 5.0-megapixel camera phones hitting the market recently, including the Samsung G600, Sony Ericsson K850i, LG KU990 Viewty and Nokia...

Bringing it all back home

Digital Living If you add up things like satellite television, cable, landline telephony, mobile phones and broadband, it starts to become quite a big slice of your domestic budget. How big is your bill for digital services at home?

How do I unlock my mobile phone?

Digital Living The main reason why mobile phone companies lock phones to their network is to try to stop you from buying a model on the the cheap then immediately switching to a rival. I want to buy a new music phone but it's a T-Mobile pay-as-you-go handset and...

How do I use my mobile phone as a modem for my laptop?

Digital Living Indeed, there are many phones that you can use as a modem, but for now we'll focus on how to set up your N73. I've got a Nokia N73 and somebody told me that I can use it as a modem for my laptop, but I'm not sure how to set this up.

Email on a Motorola Razr V3

Digital Living There is also the option on some phones to 'get settings' via the applications or extras section in the menu. I've noticed that on my Motorola Razr V3 there's an option to send and receive emails, but I'm not sure how to go about setting it up.

Don't cut the technology cord

Digital Living When did phones decide that being safely tethered in the hall was a bad idea and that they could do their job much better while being posted out the cat flap by our children or given away by mistake to your local charity shop?

Smarter commuting, the cyborg way

Digital Living We like PURE's PocketDAB 2000 portable digital unit, and of course many decent mobile phones now have radios, such as the excellent Sony Ericsson K750i. Commuting in a big city has never been easy, but it's become particularly challenging of late.

End the gadget madness and put the iPod down

Digital Living They fiddle fiddle fiddle with their wretched mobile phones -- which are deadly in the wrong hands and can go off at any time. This iPod thing is not a fad. It's not a craze. It's an arms race, and it's going to end badly.

Microsoft's Media Center mansion

Digital Living And although we admired the Samsung YEPP Portable Media Center and the various mobile phones and MP3 players sprinkled around the place, the overall impression was disappointing. They've called it, inevitably, the mHome.
