Samsung Solid review

Samsung Solid review

Review This is no smartphone, which may limit its appeal, but the Samsung Solid could fit the bill if you need a phone that can cope with dust, dirt, water and occasional drops.

Samsung SGH-i640V review

Samsung SGH-i640V review

Review With 3G but no Wi-Fi, the SGH-i640V will not have universal appeal. The defining features of this Windows Mobile smartphone (its rotating navigation wheel, touch buttons, large size and idiosyncratic user interface) will also polarise opinion.

Photos: new BlackBerry Curves

Photos The latest additions to RIM's Curve family of BlackBerry devices include Wi-Fi and GPS, but where's the 3G support?


HTC S730 review

HTC S730 review

Review This update to the S710 adds little apart from 3G/HSDPA connectivity. In fact, the S730 is slightly heavier than its predecessor and delivers less battery life. Whether you go for the S730 will depend largely on how much you need 3G.

Nokia E51 review

Nokia E51 review

Review If the Nokia E51 had a front-facing camera for video calling we'd be hard pressed to find fault with it. Even so, it's an excellent pocket-friendly Symbian smartphone that's packed with an impressive array of features.

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 review

BlackBerry Pearl 8120 review

Review If you're looking for a sleek and phone-like BlackBerry, the upgraded Pearl 8120 does a competent job. Wi-Fi support is welcome, but we'd prefer 3G connectivity as well.

Editors Choice Award Nokia E61i review

Nokia E61i review

Review Nokia's E61i offers better build quality, a digital camera and a slimmer profile than its predecessor, the E61. Current users of the E61, however, may not be convinced that such tweaks are worth the upgrade.

Palm Treo 500v review

Palm Treo 500v review

Review The Treo 500v reworks the Windows Mobile user interface to generally good effect, but the absence of HSDPA, Wi-Fi and a front-facing camera may prove to be serious shortcomings. Overall though, it's a creditable addition both to the Windows Mobile ecosystem and to Palm’s stable.

HP's new iPAQs

Photos HP has revamped its iPAQ range with no fewer than five new products, ranging from state-of-the-art smartphones to 'classic' PDAs.


BlackBerry 8820 review

BlackBerry 8820 review

Review The Wi-Fi-equipped BlackBerry 8820 is what its predecessor, the 8800, should have been. As implemented, though, Wi-Fi's value is somewhat limited as the 8820 doesn't include full SIP support for unfettered VoIP usage.

Nokia E90 Communicator review

Nokia E90 Communicator review

Review It won’t appeal to everyone, but the E90 is a worthy successor in Nokia's Communicator line, despite the fact that there are now many keyboard-equipped mobile devices available.

Toshiba Portégé G500 review

Toshiba Portégé G500 review

Review Toshiba's slider-format Windows Mobile 5 smartphone has a good feature set, including 3G/HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus dual digital cameras and fingerprint recognition. However, it's a bit bulky and the battery life could do with a boost.

Samsung SGH-i600 review

Samsung SGH-i600 review

Review Samsung's SGH-i600 is a decent keyboard-equipped Windows Mobile 5 smartphone with HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all present. It doesn't offer anything special, although some of the software extras are useful.
