Nokia N76 Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag has a review of the Nokia N76 and writes, “For this review, we popped in a Cingular SIM card with nary a hiccup.

Sprint Mogul by HTC (PPC-6800) Review at PCMag

PCMag has a review of the Sprint Mogul by HTC and writes, “Do I sound slightly lukewarm about the Mogul? Maybe, but I honestly recommend it nonetheless.

HTC Touch Review at Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint has a review of the HTC Touch gives it a 9 out of 10: “In use and over the last 24 hours with the phone we’ve been equally impressed and frustrated at the same time. Supposedly designed with people in mind, the home screen offering the usual array of Windows Mobile 6 at a [...]

Orange SPV E650 Review at Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint has a review of the Orange SPV E650 and writes, “The Orange SPV 650 is a well polished handset that whilst not going out of its way to perform wonders does offer a good solid offering nonetheless.

HTC Mogul Review at Infosync

Infosync has a review of the HTC Mogul and gives the smartphone an 84%: “Across the board, the HTC Mogul is a very good phone, though there is certainly some room for improvement.

BlackBerry Curve Review at Brighthand

Brighthand has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “Overall I was greatly impressed by the Curve. While it lacks some features that young consumers have come to expect in smartphones, the Curve is arguably the best blend of the business-oriented BlackBerry and a multimedia player to date. The rugged construction combined with ease [...]

Palm Treo 755p Review at PDAStreet

PDAStreet has a review of the Palm Treo 755p and writes, “Ultimately, the 755p isn’t the great leap forward many Palm devotees are waiting for because it doesn’t deliver any earth-shattering new features over it’s predecessor. Nevertheless, while the 755p probably won’t compel many upgrades from the 700p, it’s still a worthy successor to it.”

Nokia N95 Review at AllAboutSymbian

AllAboutSymbian has a review of the Nokia N95 and writes, “Nokia advertise the N95 as “It’s what computers have become” and that’s a pretty good statement. There’s a lot of power in here, and as much as it tries to stay hidden, there’s a lot of complexity as well. It’s clearly the current ‘uber-geek’ swiss [...]

RIM BlackBerry 8830 Review at Infosync

Infosync has a review of the BlackBerry 8830 and gives it a 75% rating: “Business users won’t be disappointed by the device’s e-mail and scheduling prowess, it is a BlackBerry, after all, but considering this phone represents the current pinnacle of BlackBerry devices, we expected more. Besides our old complaints about the BlackBerry interface, we [...]

Samsung i600 Review at SlashGear

SlashGear has a review of the Samsung i600 and writes, “In terms of performance the i600 is a reasonable, if not outstanding, cellphone. Its ability to find a signal is good, but too often it failed to keep a 3G connection in areas my everyday phone, a Nokia N80, has no problems with. [...]

HTC Mogul Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReview has a review of the HTC Mogul and writes, “A very strong offering from Sprint, and a worthy, if not overdue, successor to the PPC-6700. The Mogul is manageable in size, powerful in terms of processing performance and storage memory and it has fast EVDO (with a promised upgrade to the faster Rev. A) [...]

BlackBerry Curve Review at WebUser

WebUser has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “This is a small, compact smartphone that fits plenty of useful tricks into its case. Email addicts won’t be able to get enough of it, but those looking for something to browse the web with might find it disappointing – it’s no better than any [...]

Sprint Mogul by HTC Review at CNET

CNET has a review of the Sprint Mogul by HTC and writes, “The Sprint Mogul gets a bump in memory over that of the Sprint PPC-6700 with 256MB of ROM (versus 128MB) and 64MB of RAM, but it has a slightly slower 400MHz Intel PXA250 processor (compared to 416MHz). Still, it can’t quite keep pace [...]

HTC Mogul Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag has a review of the HTC Mogul and writes, “Overall performance using Windows Mobile 6 was smoother than on the T-Mobile Wing, thanks to the Mogul’s faster 400-MHz processor, whether we were working in Word Mobile or looking up one of hundreds of contacts by typing the few first letters of the person’s name. [...]

Nokia N95 Review at LetsGoMobile

LetsGoMobile has a review of the Nokia N95 and writes, “We can conclude that the Nokia N95 is a real multimedia machine. There is of course still a bit of room for improvement, but we should keep in my mind that the Nokia N95 has everything your little heart desires: a navigation system, a 5 [...]

HTC Touch Review at PocketNow

PocketNow has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “The biggest problem with the HTC Touch is trying to type with one big thumb. It doesn’t come with a large enough software based keyboard so you’ll have to either take out the stylus or install some other type of soft-keyboard that will be easier [...]

Toshiba G500 Review at Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint has a review of the Toshiba G500 and gives it a 4 out of 10 rating: “so its got HSDPA, Wi-Fi, a 2 megapixel camera and that fingerprint scanner, but the design and the now older software make this a phone that won’t impress anyone you show it too. With the smartphone market moving [...]

Toshiba Portege G500 Review at Shiny Shiny

Shiny Shiny has a review of the Toshiba Portege G500 and writes, “The only criticism I could make of the phone was its inexplicable thickness (does HSDPA really require it to be a brick?). It’s light and relatively small, but even thicker than my hardly slimline Orange SPV M700. If a phone will be a [...]

BlackBerry 8800 Review at SMBEdge

SMBEdge has a review of the BlackBerry 8800 and writes, “Using the quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; EDGE) BlackBerry 8800 as a phone presented no real problems or surprises. Call quality was decent with voices sounding mostly clear and crisp. … Despite the lack of 3G or Wi-Fi, this is still a great messaging device. Users [...]

Samsung i600 Review at 3G

3G has a review of the Samsung i600 and writes, “this smartphone doesn’t use the latest 6 version but plumps for the 5.0 platform instead. This means you still get embedded Direct Push email capabilities and the obvious PIM (Personal Information Management) features. … it definitely ranks as Samsung’s best smartphone yet and has the [...]

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic Review at CNET

CNET has a review of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic and writes, “The 5700 follows the 5300 by offering fantastic music quality. The output from the stereo speakers was much better than almost any other music phone, and it offered plenty of volume for an impromptu party. Deep bass was a little lacking, but otherwise [...]

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic Review at Bangkok Post

The Bangkok Post has a review of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic and writes, “We tested the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic in Singapore with the MobileOne network. Calls sounded loud and clear even when we were in a noisy environment. Music playback via the onboard speakers was sufficiently loud but not fantastic. When we switched to the [...]

Nokia N93 Review at MeriNews

MeriNews has a review of the Nokia N93 and writes, “The Nokia N93 is a fantastic multimedia computer with a few faults. Most of the faults lie in the construction of the phone. … The N93 responds very quickly and opens files quite fast in my opinion (I have over 280 full length songs [...]

HTC Touch at MobileTechReviews

MobileTechReviews has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “The HTC Touch is a beautiful, very small PDA phone, something we just about never get to say. It’s the perfect phone for style conscious buyers who need a PDA’s features and advanced functions, but don’t want to carry an ugly brick. However, those who [...]

HTC Touch Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “The Touch is a terribly flawed attempt at a mainstream consumer product from HTC. There’s no denying that the TouchFLO interface works well, but all it does is take you to applications which then require traditional Windows Mobile stylus input. It may be the [...]

Toshiba Portege G500 Smartphone Review at TechDigest

TechDigest has a review of the Toshiba Portege G500 smartphone and writes, “The only criticism I could make of the phone was its inexplicable thickness. It’s light and relatively small, but even thicker than my hardly slimline Orange SPV M700. If a phone will be a full 2cm thick, I’d expect it to have a [...]

HTC Touch Review at CrunchGear

CrunchGear has a review of the HTC Touch and concludes, “Overall, the HTC Touch is one of the better Windows Mobile phones I’ve seen in awhile. The lack of a QWERTY keyboard can be overlooked after a few days of practicing using the on-screen keyboard. Plus the screen looks fantastic, the WiFi is fast, and [...]

BlackBerry Curve Review at Infosync

Infosync has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and concludes, “The Curve aims to bring the BlackBerry line to a more general audience, and to accomplish this RIM has improved the media player and, well, that’s about it. Aside from our lousy experience with the Roxio software, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and [...]

HTC Touch Review at CNET

CNET has a review of the HTC Touch and notes, “Armed with a 201MHz TI OMAP850 processor and 128MB ROM/64MB RAM, general operation was a tad slow. With about 12MB of free program memory, there was often a few-second delay when opening applications. At first we thought our device just didn’t register our touch commands, [...]

HTC Touch Review at MobileBurn

MobileBurn has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “It certainly is crippled when it comes to finger based text entry, but apart from that, I rarely need the stylus at all in typical use. The Touch turns out to be a good passive messaging and data consumption device. It has the power to [...]

BlackBerry Curve 8300 Review at PCPro

PCPro has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “The lack of wireless options aside, as an alternative to the 8800 the Curve excels. It offers nearly all of the features, weighs a little less, and looks a little better. Despite the gaps in its list of specifications, those looking for a [...]

HTC Touch Review at PCPro

PCPro has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “The Touch is tantalising proof that software and hardware designers are fast approaching the stage where all you’ll need to control your phone is a set of reliable fingers and a touchscreen. But it isn’t there yet. It’s no good being able to start a [...]

Apple iPhone


HTC Touch Review at PCMag

PCMag has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “The Touch also feels slow, a problem endemic to touch-screen Windows Mobile 5 or 6 devices with 200-MHz processors. (The T-Mobile MDA and Wing have the same issue.) … Basically, the HTC Touch is a tease. It tempts you with a new interface that makes [...]

HTC Touch Review at RegHardware

RegHardware has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “the unit’s battery life was nothing to write home about. HTC quotes five hours’ talk time, but I’d say you’re looking at charging the handset up overnight every night if you want to get the most out of the phone. … What a disappointment. HTC’s [...]

Nokia N95 Review at Brighthand

Brighthand has a review of the Nokia N95 and writes, “The N95 is truly a different kind of mobile device. One where there are literally no limits on how you can apply it. It does try to reach too far for some people, and yet, because it can, the N95 is a niche device of [...]

Nokia N76 Review at Infosync

Infosync has a review of the Nokia N76 and writes, “The Nokia N76 is a frustrating phone when you realize just how much better it must be abroad. The phone’s performance is a bit more zippy than the N75, and it includes niceties like a 3.5mm headphone jack and a slick design. Still, the lack [...]

HTC Touch Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, “While we would’ve liked to see a snappier processor under the hood, the HTC Touch delivers on its promise of an innovative interface. The TouchFLO navigation is far from a gimmick; it’s an extremely useful technology that’s smooth and effortless to use. Although it’s difficult [...]

Nokia N95 Review at IT Reviews

IT Reviews has a review of the Nokia N95 and writes, “we’re far too impressed by the high-end features and functionality available on this Smartphone to let a few design issues ruin the show. The N95 is the most powerful, feature packed phone we’ve ever used, and while we expect rival manufacturers (as well as [...]

Motorola Z8 Review at Mobile-Review

Mobile-Review has a review of the Motorola Z8 and writes, “This handset offers queer, unique design, and this does it justice. On the other hand, it lacks radio, can’t boast top-of-the-line camera, in other words, proposes a basic suite of features with slightly modified standby screen and omitted touch screen. … the Z8’s major [...]

T-Mobile Ameo Review at ITReviews

ITReviews has a review of the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, “The keyboard is too small for touch-typing on, and in fact not a great deal faster to use than some of the better QWERTY keyboards on small Smartphones. You can’t hold the Ameo in two hands and use the keyboard with your thumbs, because [...]

T-Mobile Wing Review at CNET

CNET has a review of the T-Mobile Wing and writes, “General performance was a bit sluggish. Armed with a 201MHz TI OMAP850 processor, 128MB of ROM, and 64MB of DDR SDRAM, the Wing couldn’t quite keep up with our multiple demands and there was a noticeable lag when we had numerous apps open. Fortunately, it’s [...]

HTC P4350 Review at Shiny Shiny

Shiny Shiny has a review of the HTC P4350 and writes, “As far as reliability is concerned, the unit I was using crashed a couple of times over the few days I was using it, which is actually less than several other Windows Mobile devices I’ve had the pleasure of. Battery life lasts you about [...]

Nokia N95 Review at Stuff.co.nz

Stuff.co.nz has a review of the Nokia N95 and writes, ” Don’t get me wrong, Nokia’s done a great job making it easy to use, and Nokia fans will find it easy to pick up. It’s just that with so many features it can’t help being miles more complicated than an ordinary phone. It’s very [...]

Motorola Q9 Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Motorola Q9 and writes, “Motorola has made some interesting software choices. Pocket Internet Explorer is gone, and in its place is the very good Opera web browser. Among its features is the ability to open more than one web page at a time in different windows, something that [...]

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic Review at AllAboutSymbian

AllAboutSymbian has a review of the Nokia 5700 and writes, “Is the Nokia 5700 the phone for you? It’s a matter of your technical requirements and taste. It doesn’t have every smartphone feature, but its relatively low price tag reflects this. It does look quite quirky and isn’t a thin phone, but some people prefer [...]

Orange SPV E650 Review at PCPro

PCPro has a review of the Orange SPV E650 and writes, “he show-stealer is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with the screen automatically switching into landscape mode. … Overall, though, this is a fantastic Windows Mobile device. We’d have preferred to see 3G, and we’re also annoyed that Orange has seen fit to remove the Windows [...]

HP iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger Review at PCPro

PCPro has a review of the HP iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger and writes, “Build quality is sturdy, and there’s a distinctly businesslike feel to it. The keys are comfortably rounded and it sits nicely in the hand. We’re happy enough with the 2in active-matrix screen, although the low resolution ruins some of WM6’s new icons. [...]

BlackBerry 8800 Review at PCPro

PCPro has a review of the BlackBerry 8800 and writes, “Although the 8800 is a great phone, the real emphasis of a device like this is push email, and that’s an area where BlackBerry has always excelled. The internet-based “prosumer” version works well, but we also reviewed a full-monty enterprise device, hooked up to [...]

BlackBerry Curve 8300 Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “During testing the mobile email features it worked pretty well. I used the BlackBerry Internet Service, designed for POP3 email users, and was certainly kept up to date with all the really important email and (regrettably) the spam that wings into my [...]

Samsung SGH-i600 Review at Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint has a review of the Samsung SGH-i600 and writes, “Larger than the BlackBerry Curve, the phone runs Windows Mobile 5, but a heavily customised and stylised version. With Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity for web surfing, the only thing that really lets this model down is a confusing keyboard layout and 1.3megapixel rather than 2 [...]
