Hands on: Blackberry Storm 9500 review
admin @ November 6, 2008 # No Comment Yet
The first thing to note about the BlackBerry Storm 9500 is that while this handset features the first touchscreen from RIM, its design was specified by Vodafone - so the mobile network is obviously taking some of the kudos for what really is a very slick handset.
The home screen is similar to the ‘normal’ BlackBerry [...]

Hands on: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review
admin @ October 4, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Nokia launched its own warrior into the touchscreen phone market today, in the hope it would slay all fruity-based rivals. But unfortunately it falls a little short.

Hands on: Casio EXILIM EX-FH20 review
admin @ September 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet
CES in January saw the launch of Casio’s high-speed Exilim Pro camera, the EX-F1. Capable of shooting 60 JPEG images in a single second, the emphasis was on high-end, high-speed photography and slow-motion video.

First impressions are of a fairly functional business phone, with trackball and a slide-out QWERTY keypad a nice BlackBerry-esque touch.
It should be remembered that HTC is a firm with [...]

admin @ September 23, 2008 # No Comment Yet
TechRadar got the chance for a hands-on with the Nokia N96 at the launch event tonight… and we were far from disappointed.
Nokia is the market leader in the mobile phone world for a reason: it churns out decent, solid mobile phones that users like.
