Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-shot

Review Whether you like it or not, people are going to compare the Sony Ericsson K850i with the Nokia N95. The biggest similarity between the two is their 5-megapixel camera modules. But with the N95's advantage of an earlier market release and an overall stronger suite of features, can the K850i still...

Samsung SGH-i450

Review Out of the box, Samsung phones often struggle to impress. Maybe it's the egg-carton packaging that Samsung uses, or perhaps it's the gun-metal grey plastic bodies of recent Samsung phones, but the G600 and i450 have both made poor first impressions, defying their much hyped features. Editors'...

Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman

Review When it comes to marketing its wares, Sony Ericsson uses a very straightforward approach--Cyber-shot for camera-phones and Walkman for music-phones.

Its ultraslim profile, solid build quality, attractive design matched with a decent feature set may have been a hit, but the phone was ultimately "killed" by its tiny keys. So when we saw the specifications of its successor,...

Samsung Ultra Edition 10.9 (U600)

Review Just when you think Samsung has made the thinnest slider phone possible, it manages to go one better. The U600 is part of Samsung's new Ultra Edition Range II and boasts a plethora of features crammed into a casing that's just 11mm thick. Editors' note: This review is based on tests...

O2 Xda Atom Life

Review The Xda Atom, Atom Pure and Atom Exec have been charmers and, if you ask us, a handheld that looks good is already half the battle won. With the Atom Life, a faster processor, a generous 1GB onboard memory and loads of connectivity features such as 3G and HSDPA (3.5G) completes the equation. But...
