Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device review

Review The new internationalised Kindle uses AT&T's data network for wireless access, and represents an incremental improvement to the Kindle line, just as serious competition is ramping up in the e-book market.

HTC Touch2 review

Review HTC's Touch2 has a relatively small screen and lacks an accelerometer. However, it's Windows Mobile 6.5 that really lets the side down.

Acer F900 review

Review The F900 is a solid performer with a nice 3.8in. screen, good battery life and a reasonable price. Acer's front end for Windows Mobile could do with a rethink though.

HTC Hero review

Review The Android platform has come of age in the Hero. HTC's Sense interface is superbly implemented, the device itself is intuitive to use, and the software is largely well thought-out. We'd have liked more internal memory, longer battery life and a better camera though.

Toshiba TG01 review

Review The slim and sleek TG01's hardware design breaks new ground, while the 4.1in. screen is great for media-rich activities. Unfortunately the user interface is eccentric, and battery life is very disappointing.

Acer Tempo M900 review

Review We like the Acer M900's large 3.8in. screen, but its slide-out QWERTY keyboard is less successful. Acer's Shell user interface may not appeal to all, but the fingerprint reader is welcome.

Nokia N97 review

Review Although the Nokia N97 is packed with features, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the market.

Apple iPhone 3G S review

Review The iPhone 3G S isn't as big an advance as the iPhone 3G was from the first-generation model, but Apple's latest handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. It's faster, and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life.

HTC Touch Pro 2 review

Review HTC's best smartphone yet features a tilting screen, a good QWERTY keyboard and a responsive touch interface. The high-resolution screen is also superb. Our only real concern is battery life.
