LG Prada KE850 review

Reviews When it launched the Chocolate phone last year, LG established itself as a serious fashion-phone manufacturer. Gone are the days when the company made ugly lumps of plastic -- now its mobile phones are synonymous with class and style.

What mobile phone should I buy?

Reviews LG's Chocolate phone is a stylish handset with an attractive heat- and touch-sensitive touchpad When you're shopping for a phone, appearance is probably the first thing that will draw you to a certain model.

Samsung J600 review

Reviews If you're after a slick and shiny looking handset in the mould of the LG Chocolate, but don't want to shell out a small fortune, then the Samsung J600 may be the phone you're after. Its touch-sensitive buttons and glossy exterior means it looks...

HP Pavilion TX1020ea review

Reviews Does this juxtaposition of business-like touchscreen and home-use Media Center work, or is it the digital equivalent of the chocolate hot-air balloon? HP is trying something new -- on one hand the TX1020ea is a Tablet PC, and on the other it's a...

LG KE500 review

Reviews StrengthsLG has certainly made some impressive looking phones in its day and although the KE500 isn't quite up there with the Shine or Chocolate handsets in terms of looks, it's not altogether unappealing to the eye.

Sling Media Slingbox review

Reviews Physically it resembles a large chocolate bar and is approximately the same size as two giant Toblerones. The Slingbox enables you to watch the TV programmes at your house remotely via the Internet, turning virtually any Internet-connected PC into...

LG 50PB65 review

Reviews It's supposedly based on LG's iconic Chocolate mobile phones and although its sheer bulk makes the connection to such diminutive gadgets a little hard to see, there's no denying the attractiveness of the polished dark finish offset by subtle red...

Canon Digital IXUS i7 review

Reviews Its chocolate bar-size form is all metal and comes in a variety of oddly named colours: noble blue, olive grey, twlight sepia and precious rose (pictured). Change isn't always big. New versions of products aren't always massive, sweeping upgrades...

Samsung G600 review

Reviews It's not ugly, but it doesn't have the wow-factor of slider phones such as the LG Chocolate or Shine. If there's one thing Samsung knows how to do really well it's make very thin phones crammed with lots of features.

Canon PowerShot A470 review

Reviews It feels like a king-size chocolate bar, measuring 104mm long, 56mm tall, and more than 40mm thick. Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend.

Asus U1 review

Reviews Two of the laptop's most notable aesthetic features are its 'piano black' lid, which is reminiscent of LG's Chocolate phone, and the matte-black leather that surrounds the keyboard. We've fallen in and out of love with more sexy ultraportable...

Asus W6Fp review

Reviews The W6Fp is currently available in two leather colours -- dark chocolate or camel. While some will find the leather-bound panelling a turn on, others will think it's horrendous. Ultimately, it's all down to personal preference, but it will no doubt...

Asus S6F review

Reviews Some users won't be fond of the chocolate brown colour of our review sample, but a more contemporary camel-grey colour will soon be available exclusively via the Micro Anvika site, and there's the prospect of pink and possibly crocodile-skin...

Motorola Motorazr Maxx V6 review

Reviews Like the touch buttons on LG's Chocolate phone, these only light up when you run your finger over them. Motorola has become the Stock, Aitken and Waterman of the mobile phone world -- like the pop-producing team, it's found a formula that works and...

Alienware Area-51 7500 review

Reviews Our black review sample came with red LEDs, making the entire system look like it was inspired by LG's KG800 Chocolate phone. They look great from a distance, but the minute you lay a finger on them you can't help but feel they're going to fall...
