Nokia E51 review

Reviews The E51's keypad is well designed and features large, easy-to-press keys. There are dedicated shortcut keys around the navigation key that take you directly to your contacts, the menu, the calendar and your emails.

LG KS360 review

Reviews But then again this phone isn't being pitched as a super-phone -- it's all about messaging, so you get shortcut keys to SMS and an instant-messaging client (although this may be network-dependant). We do feel that the keys could have been defined...

Toshiba G450 review

Reviews These keys are backlit so they're easy to read even in complete darkness. The top one houses the tiny OLED screen, while the bottom two contain the number keys. Toshiba is not a name that we'd readily associate with mobile phones, but then this...

Sony Ericsson K850i review

Reviews The four-way navigation key is also a little fiddly to press due to the fact that it's set in between the keypad keys rather than on top of them. Then there's the issue of the number keys, which although are relatively easy to press, seem to be a...

E-TEN glofiish M810 review

Reviews The keys on the keyboard could be better, but they're reasonably large and much easier to use than the onscreen virtual keyboard when you're composing emails or sending text messages. Rather than proper keys, the letters are laid out on a flat...

Samsung Z400 review

Reviews The rest of the front section looks similar to the front of the D600, with a 240x320-pixel screen displaying 262,000 colours, a navigation key with a silver OK button in the middle, two soft keys either side of that, and send call, cancel and end...

Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd generation) review

Reviews Instead, you get a simple and ample-sized five-way control pad on the face of the player: play/pause in the centre, surrounded by volume up/down buttons and track shuttle keys. In fact, it's so inconspicuous that we have trouble keeping track of it...

T-Mobile BlackBerry 8700g review

Reviews Compared to the older BlackBerry 7290 or the Palm Treo 650, the keys are flatter and closer together, making it harder to distinguish between them. While it's not as mobile phone-like as the BlackBerry 7100x, it does sit comfortably in the hand and...

Nokia N82 review

Reviews Things don't get better when it comes to the keypad, which although usable, features rice-grain like keys that are a too small for our liking. The soft keys and navigation key are large and easy to press, and the camera keys are equally...

Asus Lamborghini VX3 review

Reviews The keyboard was a pleasant surprise, with solid, hefty keys that didn't wiggle under the fingers at all, and we're always pleased to see separate Page-Up and Page-Down keys -- usually the first thing to get cut on an ultraportable keyboard.

Sony Ericsson V800 review

Reviews Sony Ericsson has also allowed plenty of width and height in the main body of the device, allowing ample room on the keypad area for well spaced number keys, a separate row of function keys (dedicated to video calling, accessing the on-screen...

Nokia 1200 review

Reviews For example, Nokia has opted for a type of all-in-one keypad mat, rather than individual keys, to stop dirt and dust from building up under the keys. If the Nokia 1200 was a politician it would be banging on about taking a 'back to basics' approach.

Samsung Z560 review

Reviews On the front section there's a 2-megapixel camera at the top, a small colour screen further down and three dedicated music touch keys at the bottom. In order to access the Internet, one of the soft keys on the top of the keypad lets you access T...

O2 BlackBerry 7100x review

Reviews There is a keyboard five keys wide by four keys deep beneath the screen. Most keys have three functions: two letters, selectable using RIM's predictive SureType system, and either a number or a symbol of some kind, selectable via the Shift key.

Motorola Rizr Z3 preview

Reviews Fortunately, unlike many slider phones, the bottom of the top section is angled inwards so that there's a little more space to press the top three keys, although it's still more squashed than on a candybar phone.
