HTC Incredible S — Review
I was excited to review the HTC Incredible S, not just because this is my first ‘official’ review, but because it’s been a long time since I’ve had an HTC phone and I was curious to see how they had changed. The HTC Incredible S is not a flagship phone and doesn’t have the specs [...]
HTC Sensation — Initial Thoughts
First off, this isn’t the HTC Sensation review — that’s coming in a few days once I’ve spent some more quality time with the device. For now I’m giving you my initial thoughts on what is to become HTC’s flagship device. Just like all phones it has its pros and cons, however: Sense UI is [...]
Samsung Galaxy S II — Review
The Samsung Galaxy S II is by far the most hyped device so far this year. I mean who wouldn’t get hyped up over a 4.3″ Super AMOLED + display, 1.2GHz Dual-Core CPU and Quadband 3G supporting every network in Australia at the proper HSPA+ speed of 21Mbit. The Samsung Galaxy S set the benchmark [...]
Samsung Galaxy S II — Initial Thoughts
I wouldn’t usually put up a post detailing my first thoughts on a device, seeing as though I only just received the Samsung Galaxy S II this afternoon, but you guys are just too insistent that I supply my thoughts to you as quickly as possible. So hit the break for a quick read of [...]
LG Optimus 2X — Review
When our good friends at MobiCity let us know the Optimus 2X was available for review, I jumped at the chance. Being one of the only Dual-Core handset currently available — the Atrix being the other one — I just had to review it. However, in all the excitement, I was let down. Let’s jump [...]
Huawei IDEOS X5 — Review
The Huawei IDEOS X5 was, and still is, the cheapest device around with such amazing specs. I mean you can pick up this device for just under $300 at your local Crazy John’s and you’ll get virtually the same specs as an HTC Desire Z minus the $500 price tag. I’ve been quite excited to [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc — Review
It’s extremely hard to find a place to start off with the Xperia Arc (or just Arc from here on in). Coming from the same company that brought you the Xperia X10, you would instantly think the Arc is a dud and should be avoided at all costs. Well it isn’t, it is far from [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play — Review
So where do I start with this one? Ahhh I know, the X10i, let’s take all those things that were just no good, even though that’s most of the handset, and throw it out the window, lets take all the good stuff about it, and keep it. This is where we start with the Xperia [...]
Google Nexus S from Vodafone — Review
I first laid my hands on the Google/Samsung Nexus S from Vodafone on Friday (25th) and from over a weeks use, I can straight out say I’ve been somewhat impressed, more with the software than the hardware, but it has been a positive experience overall. I covered some of the main problems I have with [...]
Google Nexus S from Vodafone — First Impressions
After letting out some anger at a certain Australian Postage company, I finally received the Google Nexus S from Vodafone last Friday and have been putting it through its paces ever since. There’ll be a bit of a more in-depth write-up later on, but I thought I’d fill you in on the important details now. [...]
Postscript: Motorola Atrix review
At the conclusion of the Motorola Atrix review, we had a few questions unanswered, and a few things we wanted to look at further before summing up. Battery life After a few days of real life usage, I can honestly say (hand on heart) that the battery life in this phone is amazingly good, compared [...]
Motorola Atrix 4G — Review — the world’s most powerful smartphone?
This morning I arrived at work in poor form. Tired, exhausted, emotionally drained, after a long and tiring weekend. We had a loss in our family (not entirely unexpectedly, but it hurts the same) and my partner Rachel and I have spent all weekend keeping the family fed and watered so they can deal with [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc coming soon to Vodafone, video preview
So we just happened to be browsing the internetz when we stumbled upon an interesting YouTube video that is currently listed as private — meaning you can only view it if you have the URL. What is it? It’s a walk-through of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming Xperia Arc which we recently saw as ‘coming soon’ in [...]
