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 [...]
My experience using ReGadget to sell my HTC Desire
Ausdroid is almost 100% ad supported, however when we receive a request from a company who wishes advertise on the site, we want to make sure they’re legit and worth being advertised to you guys, the readers. When ReGadget approached us we thought they’d be a pretty good match to our target demographic: people who [...]
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 Tab 10.1v — Review
This is the one tablet I’ve had my eyes on since it was announced by Samsung a few months back, it was then half killed-off by Samsung in favour of their thinner Galaxy Tab 10.1. I say half killed-off as the Galaxy Tab 10.1v was picked up by Vodafone in a number of countries including [...]
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 [...]
Acer Iconia A500 Tablet Review
  When you think of Android, Acer might not have the brand name clout of the bigger names such as HTC or Samsung, but where they have been strong is in the Netbook sector. Perhaps it is that success that has brought Acer’s first Android Tablet offering to market, with the Acer Iconia A500. Surprisingly [...]
App Review: Pocket Casts
    We have featured Shifty Jelly apps on Ausdroid before, with our review of their Pocket Weather AU app. This time around we review the Podcast player, Pocket Casts. Let’s get started. Pros… Easy to use Download or Streaming options Great playback options No need for PC/Mac software Cons… No widget support – yet [...]
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 [...]
Hands on with the Motorola XOOM — First Impressions
I’ve been using the Motorola XOOM for just over a day now, and I thought I’d share my initial thoughts. Which coincides nicely with Telstra’s confirmation that this bad-boy is launching through them next month. First off, the XOOM is quite heavy as it weighs 730grams, which is 130grams more than its main rivals: the [...]
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 [...]
