Vnunet reviews the BlackBerry Pearl and writes, “The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 from Research In Motion (RIM) fits all of the essential BlackBerry features into a device no bigger than a standard phone, and adds Wi-Fi into the bargain. However, its size means that its keyboard is a bit of a compromise, making it less [...]

3G reviews the Nokia N81 and writes, “There’s no point carping about the fact that the Nokia N81 8GB is bigger and bulkier than your Nokia 6300, Samsung U600 or Sony Ericsson W880i handsets. The Nseries phones are monstrously powerful and, therefore, you should expect to carry a little more phone in your pocket. [...]

Palm Infocenter reviews the Palm Treo 500v and writes, “For a company that has built its business on making thoughtful, user-friendly devices, Palm has put surprisingly little effort into the Treo 500v. Aside from a fancy new Start menu, there’s been no attempt at all to make this device their own. With none of [...]

milve reviews the BlackBerry 8130 and writes, “The Pearl is a sleek phone that handles e-mail with such ease it is addictive (hence the nickname “crackberry.”) But paying to use high-speed networks such as Verizon’s, I wish the Web browser had more to offer.”

Gadget lab reviews the LG Voyager and writes, “One look at the Voyager and you’ll get LG’s message loud and clear: “suck it, iPhone!” From the large 2.8-inch, 400 x 240-pixel touchscreen to the icon-based user interface, the Voyager so readily resembles Apple’s wundergizmo, that you might try activating it with iTunes. Okay, it [...]

BCHeights reviews the BlackBerry Curve 8320 and writes, “Overall, the BlackBerry Curve is the perfect offering for the student who wants the functionality of a BlackBerry with a full keyboard.

Pocket-lint reviews the HTC TyTN II and writes, “The HTC TyTN II is a brick of a mobile phone that is as about as exciting as watching paint dry. However, with so much packed into the device you can’t help think that for the geeky mobile worker open to the idea of anything [...]

Pocket-lint reviews the Sidekick Slide and writes, “The T-Mobile Sidekick Slide looks to be a good messaging phone for the “kids”. The robust redesign, QWERTY keyboard, large screen and instant messaging features will certainly appeal…However with only a 1.3 megapixel camera, quad-band connectivity and large design its going to struggle to compete against other [...]

Pocket-lint reviews the Samsung Ultra Smart F700 and writes, “Where the F700 fails is that it isn’t business focused enough to appeal to the Microsoft Window followers and not consumer enough to appeal to those that might as well get an iPhone…Where this device wins out however is the inclusion of the HSDPA 7.2MB connection [...]

Pocket-lint reviews the Nokia N81 and writes, “Sony Ericsson’s implementation of software for us is better executed with its array of apps like SensMe, TrackID and ShakeIt, however where the Nokia N81 wins out is the addition of the Nokia Music Store…That said, the Nokia Music Store’s implementation against the iTunes Wi-Fi store from Apple [...]

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Apple iPhone and writes, “The iPhone is one of the most beautifully designed technology products I have ever used. Not only does it look great, but the usability puts even its good looks in the shade. The fact that you need no stylus to use the iPhone, speaks [...]

CNET UK reviews the BlackBerry Curve 8310 and writes, “We wouldn’t necessarily choose the 8310, available for free on a £30 a month contract with Vodafone, over a dedicated GPS unit for navigation duties and the lack of 3G and Wi-Fi support is disappointing, but the 8310’s slim design, full Qwerty keyboard and top class [...]

CNET UK reviews the T-Mobile Vario III and writes, “In terms of notable differences between this handset and the HTC TyTN II, T-Mobile has preinstalled CoPilot Live version 7 on the Vario III so you have a satellite navigation device right out of the box, which alongside the built-in GPS receiver works well.”

PC World reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, “The Samsung SCH-i760 is a worthy smart phone upgrade for Verizon users, especially if you need to buy a phone now–it’s the best Windows Mobile smart phone currently available from Verizon. But if you don’t need a new phone right away, I recommend waiting until [...]

CNET UK reviews the Nokia N81 and writes, “The N81 is an impressive phone, but it’s not really the revolutionary handset that many people were expecting.

CNET UK reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide and writes, “There are plenty of great things about the Sidekick Slide, available for free on T-Mobile’s Flext 30 and Web’n’walk tariff.

NetworkWorld reviews the Nokia E61i and writes, “I was impressed with the device’s battery life and Wi-Fi capabilities. With a complex PDA, battery life is hard to maintain, and Nokia does an excellent job with the E61i. Wi-Fi connectivity was easy to enable, allowing for network scanning and configuring for fast data transfer [...]

Vnunet reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “The iPhone probably is the world-changing device that people have been talking about - if only in that other manufacturers will have to run fast to catch up with its usability - but its main drawback is that it’s extremely expensive relative to the phones that most of [...]

SlashGear reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes, “Other features I didn’t use were the calendar, picture messaging, the music player, or myFaves, but they are all on there, and I looked at them, and they all seem fairly straightforward and easy to use. I can’t express how much I love this device. Honestly, [...]

Techworld reviews the HTC TyTN II and writes, “It’s hard to fault this phone. While the world’s mainstream media follow each other like sheep to drool over the Apple iPhone, you could treat yourself to one of these free - Vodafone offered me one for nothing in exchange for upgrading to a data plan [...]

The Times Online reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “Many have said the iPhone’s £269 price tag does not matter and that Apple fanatics and the style-conscious will buy it regardless. They’re probably right. But for O2 customers tired of carting round a phone and a music player - and remember that an ‘iPod Classic’ [...]

BBC News reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “The iPhone isn’t for everyone - it is not a true Smartphone device, the storage capacity is fixed and limiting for people with large music collections, the camera is low quality, it lacks true internet communication capabilities and the 2G handset is slow for data connections over [...]

Telegraph reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “This isn’t the first such product on the market - BlackBerry and Nokia already allow their customers to access the internet from their phones - but this is arguably the first to be truly user-friendly, with a colourful, easy-to-read screen and a web surfing experience as good as [...]

GeekZone reviews the HTC Touch and writes, “Internally it’s very well designed, the actual ARM processor for the PDA side is also the actual mobile phone component chip and it gives amazing battery life! If only Nokia could achieve the same result!

Gigaom reviews the Nokia N81 and writes, “In comparison to the Nokia N95, or even the older N71 and N73 phones, N81 is pokey, and a major disappointment. It is going to be packed up and shipped back, pronto. Nokia, which often delivers phones that I love, has flubbed this one.”

Sky News reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “The overall verdict? It looks fantastic, and operates brilliantly…It’s solid and substantial without being big and clumsy. It’s so easy to use…By coincidence my office issued me with a new Blackberry the day before I got my iPhone. The Blackberry feels like a Ford and the [...]

CNET Australia reviews the Nokia N82 and writes, “Like the N95, the N82 is a powerful handset that will certainly appeal to those who want a full-featured mobile phone.

CNET reviews the T-Mobile Shadow and writes, “The entry-level Shadow offers a fun, fresh design and interface that doesn’t scream, “I’m all business,” while still offering the robust messaging capabilities and productivity tools of a Windows Mobile 6 device.

CNET Australia reviews the BlackBerry Curve 8310 and writes, “The Curve 8310 is a good enough smartphone for business users that occasionally need GPS, but it left us wanting more: a faster processor, 3G support (with HSDPA, of course) and Wi-Fi.

InfoSync reviews the HTC Touch (Sprint) and writes, “We’re not surprised that the TouchFLO interface doesn’t work properly on this device, since it didn’t work properly on the GSM version we reviewed back in July. We’re disappointed that the touch screen technology wasn’t improved since then, and we had such difficulties with this phone [...]

InfoSync reviews the Moto Q9 Global and writes, “The Motorola Q9h Global is a puzzling phone, and AT&T seems to have taken just as many steps forward as backward from their first Q, the sequel to the CDMA model. The improved keyboard is a definite step forward, but the lack of a clickwheel or [...]

Laptop Mag reviews the LG Voyager and writes, “The LG Voyager is a phone, mini TV, messaging device, and GPS navigator all in one.

CrunchGear reviews the LG Voyager and writes, “The Voyager has come a long way since the VX9800 and improves over the enV thanks to the touchscreen. I could go on and bash the Verizon UI, but I’m tired, have no idea what time zone I’m in and it’s just not worth it. Is the [...]

CNET reviews the LG Voyager and writes, “While some cell phone watchers have hailed the Voyager as the “iPhone killer,” we prefer not to use the expression since it assumes that the iPhone is the device that every other cell phone should be measured against.
