Review: Sony Ericsson Aino

Rumours of a fully-fledged PlayStation phone refuse to die, but in the meantime hardcore Sony devotees are going to have to content themselves with the Aino, which represents the company’s most concerted attempt yet to fuse its mobile and video gaming brands into one unified whole.
However, those expecting to be able to carry across interactive [...]

Review: Sony Ericsson Yari

Ever since Apple launched the iPhone, we’ve seen a disappointing lack of gaming-centric handsets from rival manufacturers.
Not since Sony Ericsson’s brilliant W550 has there been a phone which has worn its gaming credentials so plainly on its sleeve. But, thankfully that company is once again looking to appeal to portable players with the motion-sensing Yari.

Review: LG GW620 InTouch Max

It’s taken a while, but Google’s vision of mobile utopia is coming to fruition. Each month brings fresh reports of new Android-packing handsets and practically every major manufacturer now has an Android entry on the market.

Review: Vodafone 360 Samsung H1

Vodafone may have jumped onto the Apple cart and become the third UK network to support the iPhone, but that doesn’t mean the company isn’t also looking to carve out its own niche in the smartphone and apps market.

Review: Motorola Milestone

Motorola must be feeling pretty annoyed now. After on Android by pulling support for Windows Mobile and releasing the Droid handset, the company’s thunder has been stolen by Google, thanks to the Nexus One.

Nokia 7230 comes with Flickr and Facebook: all for £90 sim-free

While the N900 might be swallowing up the lion’s share of attention in Nokia’s world, the company is also making a moderate amount of noise about another future addition to its line-up.
The 7230 is due out in March 2010 and on the surface appears to be a fairly standard effort: it’s got a sliding form [...]

Review: T-Mobile Pulse

Google’s Android platform hasn’t had the smoothest of starts. The concept has clearly impressed people – you only have to look at the passionate and highly dedicated community which has grown up around the new operating system to see proof of that – but it’s taken longer than expected for it to capture the imagination [...]
