Best smart phones

Reviews Take touchscreen phones such as the iPhone, for example -- they're excellent if you're keen on a large screen for reading documents or watching videos, but not so great if you want to type out massive emails and aren't used to using an onscreen...

Best iPhone alternatives

Reviews It has a touchscreen interface and a 5-megapixel camera that takes some impressive shots, along with fun slow-motion videos. The HTC TyTN II is a Windows Mobile 6 handset with a touchscreen. The Apple iPhone is one of the most desirable phones ever...

Sony Ericsson P990i review

Reviews This is not a homage to Ikea as some may imagine, but it's actually for removing the flip-down panel, leaving the touchscreen for number dialling and the minute keyboard exposed. Lower down still is a lock button that disables keys and the...

Mio H610 review

Reviews It has an ultraportable design that makes it great for on-the-go use and the unit's multimedia functions aren't bad at all, but the compact size also makes it less than ideal for in-car navigation as viewing maps and entering information on the...

Sony Handycam DCR-SR290E review

Reviews Either way, if you're a finder fan, you'll immediately have one strike against the DCR-SR290E, priced around £525, which forces you to frame your shots on its 69mm (2.7-inch) wide-screen touchscreen LCD.

Asus P750 review

Reviews The touchscreen measures 66mm (2.6 inches) from corner to corner and has the standard-issue 240x320-pixel resolution. Slide this button into the Hold position, and all of the device's buttons are deactivated and the touchscreen rendered inactive.

Velocity 103 review

Reviews The star of the show is the Velocity 103's 71mm (2.8-inch) VGA touchscreen. Like the latest touchscreen smart phones, the Velocity 103's design largely centres around the display and features minimal tactile buttons.

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review

Reviews Like most of Sony's consumer models, the HC7 incorporates the love-it-or-hate-it touchscreen interface -- we fall more into the hate-it camp, especially on the HC7's smaller 16:9 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD. DesignWeighing around 680g with battery and tape...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 review

Reviews Similar to the HTC Touch Pro, the Xperia X1 features a touchscreen on the front and hidden underneath a full slide-out Qwerty keypad. The Xperia's touchscreen is very sharp and large enough to enjoy viewing emails and videos, but it's noticeably...

Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet review

Reviews Gone are those clunky front-mounted buttons to control an unattractive interface, and in their place is a fully finger-controlled touchscreen. In fact that the whole system's easy to use once you get accustomed to pressing quite hard on the...

HTC TyTN II review

Reviews On closer inspection though, the TyTN II is different to the original TyTN in several ways, most notably the large colour touchscreen. Wi-Fi, the full Qwerty keypad and its large colour touchscreen. The large touchscreen made it easier to see...

Sony Ericsson W960i review

Reviews Disappointingly, the W960i's touchscreen isn't very finger friendly. The way that the W960i combines the touchscreen, keypad and scroll wheel just doesn't feel right -- it's a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

Samsung Armani review

Reviews If you're expecting a touchscreen that responds to touch control as well as the iPhone, you'll be very disappointed. Using the Armani's touchscreen is a relatively enjoyable experience because it's easy enough to navigate.
