EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment)

Reviews This standard is based on Global System for Mobile (GSM), but it's faster. It provides for wireless transmission of data at up to 384Kbps, which makes it capable of transmitting multimedia and other high-bandwidth content to wireless devices.

Roberts Gemini 10 review

Reviews There’s always been an odd appeal in fitting old devices with cutting edge electronics. Along the top edge of the control panel there’s a row of four buttons including a power switch and FM/DAB radio toggle.

Nokia 6131 review

Reviews It also has EDGE, which lets you browse the Internet at faster speeds than a GPRS connection, although only the Orange network supports EDGE in the UK at present. Fortunately, it's not too simple: the 6131 has an expandable microSD slot, EDGE...

Samsung X1 review

Reviews The left and right mouse buttons sit right on the front edge of the system, and although they function well enough, we found their position awkward. With its ultra-thin design and fabulous wide-aspect 14-inch screen, this sub-2kg laptop is right at...

Canon EOS-1D Mark III review

Reviews Turn the Mark III around, though, and you'll see that things have changed quite a bit, largely due to the addition of a 76mm (3-inch) LCD.This has forced Canon to move some buttons around to make up for the fact that the LCD now extends to the...

Apple iPhone 3G review

Reviews The iPhone 3G's headphone jack is flush against the edge, meaning you can plug in any headphones, which will make a massive difference to the sound quality you can enjoy. Browsing the Web and watching YouTube videos is lightning fast compared to...

Samsung SyncMaster T220 review

Reviews Samsung hides all of the menu buttons along the right edge of the display; the only control on the front panel is a touch-sensitive power button (really, it's just an icon). HDTV destined for the living room than a computer display, which makes it...

Orange SPV E610 review

Reviews StrengthsThe Orange SPV E610 won't win any awards for cutting edge style. We didn't really expect to find Wi-Fi or 3G support on the device, but for basic emailing, its GPRS/EDGE was adequate. The SPV E610 may not be cutting edge in terms of modern...

Samsung E350 review

Reviews It's not going to blow your mind, but it's not meant to be at the cutting edge and it won't blow your budget either. The right edge houses a quick-launch button for the camera and a proprietary connector for the provided stereo headset.

Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD85 review

Reviews Not jaw-droppingly, eye-poppingly gorgeous, but certainly cute, chiefly thanks to a little whitish arc added along the bottom edge. The work of the Panasonic V-Real 3 picture processing engine creates this acute sharpness without a trace of video...

Getac P470 review

Reviews Should you wish to use a stylus rather than a fingertip, there's a small handheld-type unit in a housing on the front left edge of the system. There are various status lights on the front edge of the laptop that are visible when the lid is closed.

Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W review

Reviews Of course, this printer has its limitations, such as a scant 150-page paper tray and an even scantier 100-page output tray that's prone to spilling pages over the edge, but it's still a workhorse. Pages take a C-shaped path through the machine to...

Logitech G15 Keyboard (Revision 2) review

Reviews G15 is the GamePanel -- aka the 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD screen on the keyboard's top edge. The LCD screen no longer folds down on a hinge, but instead rises up gracefully from the top edge, permanently and prominently displayed.
