HTC S730 Review at CNET Australia

CNET Australia reviews the HTC S730 and writes, “Like the Dopod C500, the HTC S730 is the QWERTY device for the undecided. It’s convenient to slide the keyboard out when the need arises and hides away neatly to assume the look of a traditional candy-bar phone.”

Sony Ericsson W960i Review at CNET Australia

CNET Australia reviews the Sony Ericsson W960i and writes, “When we first heard about the W960i we started asking if this would be the Apple iPhone killer. On paper the W960i has the iPhone beat, with faster data speeds, a better camera, and comparable storage. With that considered you’d be probably be burned at […]

Nokia N81 (8GB) Review at IT Reviews

IT Reviews has a review of the Nokia N81 (8GB) and writes, “The N81 8GB certainly has plenty of memory, and there are some other nice features. But this is a chunky phone which is disappointing in some areas. If you like the idea of all that storage, consider the N95 8GB as a better […]

Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReview has a review of the Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) and writes, “A welcome, though not earthshattering upgrade to the BlackJack. As the adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it; and the original BlackJack was an extremely popular phone thanks to its low price, slim design and power. The II adds […]

Pantech Duo C810 Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReivew has a review of the Pantech Duo C810 and writes, “Size matters and the Pantech Duo is seductively small, though not thin. It fit easily in our pockets and it’s so light, we couldn’t tell it was there. It makes the HTC S710 and SMT5800 (who share the QWERTY sideways slider design but […]

HTC Touch Dual Review at PC Pro

Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) Review at PC Mag

PC Mag reviews the Samsung i617 (BlackJack II) and writes, “Anyone tethered to Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Outlook can make a solid bet on the BlackJack II on AT&T, especially if they can’t afford the HTC Tilt or aren’t a fan of its larger size. The Motorola Q9h’s comfortable keyboard and Documents To Go […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Review at PC Mag

PC Mag reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and writes, “On both Sprint and Verizon, frequent messengers should take a look at the larger BlackBerry 8830, which provides a full QWERTY keyboard even as it lacks some of the 8130’s other multimedia upgrades. If you’re okay with skipping the full complement of letter keys, […]

Apple iPhone Review at PC Pro

PC Pro reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “for all its flaws and there are several this is nonetheless a huge step. Apple has proved that a touchscreen-only device is possible, despite Microsoft’s apparent attempts to demonstrate the opposite. Each time you pull it out of your pocket, the hairs on the back of your […]

Nokia N82 Review at CNET UK

CNET UK reviews the Nokia N82 and writes, “We’re really torn by this phone because it offers some excellent features while at the same time being rather unsightly — it’s not the kind of gadget that will have your mates green with envy…It’s like chopping up a Ferrari and putting all the pieces into a […]

HTC Touch Dual Review at CNET UK

CNET UK reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes, “Of course, specs-wise, that handset already exists in the form of the HTC TyTN II but in terms of design, we really prefer the Touch. A combination of those two devices would be amazing, but for now you’ll have to settle for either of the […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 Review at IT Reviews

IT Reviews has a review of the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 and writes, “If RIM is on a quest for the ultimate consumer friendly, professional friendly hybrid, the good news is that the Pearl 8120 is a step closer to the dream than anything that has gone before. It certainly looks stylish and attractive with […]

T-Mobile Shadow Review at InfoSync

InfoSync reviews the T-Mobile Shadow and writes, “The T-Mobile Shadow offers real visual improvements over the standard Windows Mobile 6 interface, but we doubt any users will be fooled into thinking this isn’t a WinMo phone. The Neo interface looks fantastic, but it actually adds very little functionality to the phone, and instead […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (Verizon Wireless) Review at InfoSync

InfoSync reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (Verizon Wireless) and writes, “Is this the best Pearl of the bunch? It certainly is an enticing phone, and RIM has quietly addressed some of the aesthetic issues that bothered us so much in the original. The original phone packed the stodgy BlackBerry OS into a slick, little […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (Sprint) Review at InfoSync

InfoSync reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (Sprint) and writes, “Well, this certainly isn’t the best Pearl of the bunch. Though Sprint’s Pearl does show signs of improvement over the first-generation GSM models, it has a few problems that would keep us from choosing it over other models. Most importantly, it was sluggish, and […]

Apple iPhone Review at MacWorld

MacWorld reviews the Apple iPhone and writes,”To put it more simply: The iPhone is the real deal. It’s a product that has already changed the way people look at the devices they carry in their pockets and purses. After only a few days with mine, the prospect of carrying a cellphone with me wherever […]

BlackBerry 8830 Review at Ign

Ign reviews the BlackBerry 8833 and writes, “The BlackBerry 8830 has a lot going for it, but for every positive aspect that you point out, you could also bring up a negative counterpoint. The call quality is adequate, the data management is excellent, but when it comes to anything outside of the realm of […]

Nokia N95 8GB Review at 3G

3G reviews the Nokia N95 and writes, “We know the bus analogy is an old cliché, but you wait ages for Nokia to come up with an 8GB phone and then it comes up with two, with the N81 8GB and the N95 8GB appearing mischievously at the same time. The N95 8GB is the […]

Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) Review at InventorSpot

InventorSpot reviews the Samsung i617 and writes, “Overall, the Samsung i617 BlackJack II is a great smart phone with a ton of features and a decent price tag. This phone will do a lot of the things that much more expensive phone do, but for much less money. Plus, Samsung has addressed many of […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Review at Wirelessinfo

Wirelessinfo reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and writes, “Overall, our one problem with this version of the Pearl is its redundancy. There really isn’t much to separate the Pearl 8130 from the original 8100. The browser is better, the camera is bumped up to 2-Megapixels, and it can capture video. If this increased […]

T-Mobile Ameo Review at Vnunet

Vnunet reviews the T-Mobile Ameo and writes, “It’s particularly cumbersome when you hold it to your ear to make a phone call. It includes both satellite navigation and wifi, but both are tricky to use…Still, the 5in screen is so big and bright that it’s hard not to like the Ameo. Apart from anything […]

Nokia N81 (8GB) Review at Pocket Gamer

Pocket Gamer reviews the Nokia N81 8GB and writes, “Unlike N-Gage QD, the sad monster that most graphically embodies the failure of N-Gage’s first iteration, the N81 is a perfect transformer: it looks like a phone when it’s being a phone, and it functions well as a console when it’s being a console. In […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 Review at The Sydney Morning Herald

The Sydney Morning Herald reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 and writes, “Starting out as an unwieldy but reliable email device most fashionable humans wouldn’t be caught dead with in public outside of business hours, the BlackBerry’s non-work features now rival the likes of Motorola’s RAZR and Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series…The BlackBerry has evolved into […]

Palm Treo 755p Review at Wirelessinfo

Wirelessinfo reviews the Palm Treo 755p and writes, “The Treo 755p is a nostalgic phone. Despite some upgrades to the form factor its basically the same Palm OS device we’ve seen rolled out for quite awhile now. Palm is working on an updated version of its operating system, but that isn’t scheduled to arrive for […]

Nokia N75 Review at PDAStreet

PDAStreet reviews the Nokia N75 and writes, ” Call quality was reliably good in our testing in the New York City area, although we weren’t impressed by the 3G connection speed. It didn’t feel like a 3G connection most of the time…While the battery is rated for 4.2 hours of talk time and 200 […]

HTC 5800 Review at PDAStreet

PDAStreet reviews the HTC 5800 and writes, “This is a powerful, full-featured smart phone selling at a pretty good price—although, as always, only if you sign up for a multi-year contract…Its main differentiator is the sliding QWERTY keyboard. If you’re not sure you will get maximum benefit from it—if you don’t expect to […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Review at the Washingtonpost

The Washingtonpost reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and writes, “The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is a great device for those who want the power of the BlackBerry platform without giving up a small form factor. The Pearl is attractive, easy to use and has several upgrades over previous versions of the Pearl that improves […]

Nokia N81 (8GB) Review at Wirelessinfo

Wirelessinfo reviews the Nokia N81 (8GB) and writes, “The Nokia N81 is a strange device in that it excels in some areas while completely dropping the ball in others. On the one hand it’s a great music device with 8GB of built-in storage and excellent music software. On the other hand it has one […]

Apple iPhone Review at MetroPost

MetroPost reviews the Apple iPhone and writes, “I wasn’t one of those people that waited in line for the iPhone. I let that crowd do their thing and hung back. But once the excitement peaked and you could actually walk into an Apple Store and cop one, I made my move. I […]

Nokia N95-3 Review at the Washingtonpost

The Washingtonpost reviews the Nokia N95-3 and writes, “The new Nokia N95 with support for AT&T’s 3G network addresses many of the problems that plagues the original iteration, but not all of them. We were very pleased to see support for AT&T’s 3G network, but the impact on battery life was significant. Those looking for […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 and writes, “With the Pearl 8120, RIM is clearly trying to push further into the consumer’s consciousness and retain its business fans too. The device doesn’t go far enough to capture all consumers - where’s the 3G and the oodles of internal memory, for […]

E-TEN Glofiish X600 Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the E-TEN Glofiish X600 and writes, “Being an E-TEN product, and with no UK network ‘fully’ subsidising handsets as yet, the X600 is inevitably going to have niche appeal. If you’re someone who places priority on looks over function, its super slick design and impressive pocketability make it […]

Nokia N95 8GB Review at CNET UK

CNET UK reviews the Nokia N95 8GB and writes, “Upgraded mobile phones are usually disappointing, but the Nokia N95 8GB is a truly superb successor. The larger screen, 8GB memory and black casing are so seductive, we were sad to see it go back to Nokia. It’s still pricey, however, and it’s still really rather […]

HTC TyTN II Review at PC Pro

PC Pro reviews the HTC TyTN II and writes, “This is a brilliant device, packing lots of leading-edge technology into a compact package. It deservedly joins its forebears as our A-Listed smartphone of choice, and will appeal to both business users and gadget freaks alike.”
Link. Read more about the HTC TyTN II. Looking […]

T-Mobile Shadow Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReview has a review of the T-Mobile Shadow and writes, “The Shadow is slim, very attractive and hip looking, something we don’t often say about MS smartphones. It does a good job of bridging the gap between a sexy-looking feature phone with entertainment on board and a business-minded device. Power users will be […]

Samsung SGH-i760 Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, “Battery life was okay, but talking with Wi-Fi on drained the standard battery in about 2 hours. We recommend using the included extended battery, which lasted much longer. Although it adds nearly an ounce to the weight, it’s only slightly bulkier…If you can overlook its design flaws, […]

T-Mobile Sidekick LX Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes, “In the end, the Sidekick LX makes some solid headway in the user-interface department, but it falls woefully short in making the device a viable option for more professional users; poor reception and slow GPRS speeds are productivity killers in the adult world…While the LX’ slimmer, […]

Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) Review at LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the Samsung i617 and writes, “AT&T customers looking for a full-featured and affordable smart phone will like the Samsung BlackJack II. It lacks many of the Moto Q Global’s bells and whistles, such as the Opera Mobile browser and Documents To Go, but it also costs $50 less. Windows Mobile fans may […]

E-TEN Glofiish M700 Review at IT Reviews

IT Reviews has a review of the E-TEN Glofiish M700 and writes, “While held back by some of its specifications, the Glofiish M700 is a good all-rounder, and the built-in GPS antenna means it can double as a sat-nav device if you buy some third party navigation software.”
Link. Read more about the E-TEN glofiish […]

Motorola Q9c Review at InfoSync

InfoSync reviews the Motorola Q9c and writes, “Much like its predecessor, Sprint’s Q9c makes improvements to their version of a device released earlier by its competitors. If you’re a seasoned Windows Mobile Standard user (read: no touchscreen), then there is a very good chance you will be pleased with the Q9c; it has improved […]

Nokia E90 Communicator Review at CNET Australia

CNET Australia reviews the Nokia E90 Communicator and writes, “The Nokia E90 Communicator has an impressive range of features. The large amount of internal memory available on the phone as well as strong computing performance means it would works well as a smartphone or travelling business device.

Nokia N95 8GB Review at CNET Australia

CNET Australia reviews the Nokia N95 8GB and writes, “Upgraded mobile phones are usually disappointing, but the Nokia N95 8GB is a truly superb successor.

Motorola Q9c Review at CNET

CNET reviews the Motorola Q9c and writes, “All the carriers (well, except for T-Mobile) are going for their second helping of the Motorola Q. AT&T has its Motorola Q9h; Verizon Wireless has the Motorola Q9m; and now Sprint has its Motorola Q9c. Overall, the smartphone brings some great additions, including Windows Mobile 6 and […]

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Review at CNET

CNET reviews the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and writes, “We had some minor complaints, namely that the SureType keyboard requires a learning curve and that call quality can be slightly spotty at times. However, the new additions, coupled with the tried-and-true BlackBerry messaging functions, make the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 an attractive choice for […]

Samsung i617 (Samsung BlackJack II) Review at CNET

CNET reviews the Samsung i617 and writes, “It’s not perfect, though; the new front jog wheel may be a sticking point for some, and we ran into some sync problems. In all, we don’t think there’s anything too compelling for current BlackJack owners to make the switch. However, if you’re eligible for an upgrade […]

Pantech Duo Review at MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the Pantech Duo and writes, “There is no mistaking that the Pantech C810 Duo for AT&T is a good device. It offers a lot of good functionality, like HSDPA data and top-notch voice control, in a cleverly designed package. While the QWERTY keyboard suffers from a few design compromises, it is still very […]

T-Mobile Sidekick LX Review at MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes, “The Sidekick LX is a worthy addition to the Sidekick family, and the 3.5mm audio jack and impressive display are very welcome.

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 Review at PC Advisor

PC Advisor reviews the BlackBerry Pearl and writes, “A year on and RIM’s sleek-looking BlackBerry Pearl has been given a makeover, with a new purply-blue handset for those who like to ring the changes (a black version is still available).
