HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review
Reviews Using the Internet via Wi-Fi or mobile network was also straightforward, and the relatively large screen made viewing Web pages more satisfying than it is on mobile phones and smart phones. That's an incorrect impression, as this Pocket PC, like...

Nokia N81 review
Reviews One of the features that should have made it a real standout among music phones has turned out to be a big disappointment. Other phones in the N series have 3 and 5-megapixel cameras, but the N81 is saddled with a pretty pedestrian 2-megapixel...

Nokia 6230 review
Reviews Snap it: The 6230's photo quality was better than that of other Nokia camera phones. The Nokia 6230's camera takes colourful, if somewhat fuzzy shots, although that's to be expected with even the best VGA-quality camera phones.

Palm Centro review
Reviews It's not as thin as phones such as the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110, HTC S620 or Samsung i600, but it feels comfortable to hold while texting or making a call. ConclusionWhile the Centro has had great success in the States, we just don't think it can...

E-TEN glofiish X600 review
Reviews Picture quality from the X600's 2-megapixel camera is good relative to other 2-megapixel camera phones, which is suitable for MMS messages and small prints. It's not as good as higher-end camera phones, so don't expect great things.

LG KU990 Viewty review
Reviews In fact, we can go so far as to say it's one of the best-looking camera phones we've seen so far. Many camera phones take good pictures but don't look that great themselves -- fortunately the LG KU990 Viewty is not an ugly camera phone.

Samsung i8510 review
Reviews FeaturesA 3.5mm headphone jack is one of the small details that makes this one of Samsung's most feature-packed phones, but it's the i8510's camera that packs the most punch. Picture quality from the 8-megapixel camera is fine, but not massively...

Nokia Wireless Keyboard review

predictive text input
Reviews A function available in many mobile phones that makes it easier to type text messages. Instead of tapping each number key multiple times to type a word, you just type each number key once -- predictive text input returns the most commonly used word...

Sanyo VPC-C4 review
Reviews The Sanyo VPC-C4 isn't much larger than some mobile phones, yet it can capture remarkably sharp and vibrant photos. What's the ideal digital camera? For many, it would be a pocket-size model that captures high-quality photos and video.

Creative Desktop Wireless 9000 Pro review

Nikon Coolpix S52c review
Reviews We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that...

Sony Ericsson MPS-70 portable speakers review
Reviews Sony Ericsson has done an admirable job with its line of Walkman mobile phones, so it's not too surprising that the company would succeed with Walkman phone accessories as well. The MPS-70 speakers are a great buy at around £18, but keep in mind...

HP iPaq hx2790 review
Reviews As handheld organisers increasingly morph into mobile phones and vice versa, the HP iPaq hx2790 stands out by ignoring this technological cross-pollination. Also of note: if you happen to have one of the older versions of the hx2000 series, HP will...
