HTC Velocity 4G

HTC Velocity 4G

Telstra's first 4G phone is good, but not great. The 4G speeds shine through in speed tests, but fail to do so in everyday use. Its excellent camera is worth a second look, however.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Basically the same phone released at the start of the year, the Arc S is a good phone that may struggle to stand out amongst the crowd in an excellent year of releases.

HTC Sensation XE

HTC Sensation XE

The Sensation XE delivers as many other HTC handsets have this year, and is made cooler by its Beats Audio colours and the great headphones bundled with the handset.

Galaxy Nexus

Galaxy Nexus

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a big step forward for Android, but it's not the giant leap you may have been expecting. As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device.

HTC Sensation XL

HTC Sensation XL

HTC proves again that bigger is better, especially when its large-screen phone packs in a great user experience and Beats audio headphones to boot.

Apple iPhone 4S

Apple iPhone 4S

iPhone 4S is the best iPhone ever. Anyone who wants an iPhone right now should buy it. It just isn't an iPhone that demands an instant upgrade for iPhone 4 owners.

Nokia N9

Nokia N9

If you don't know the difference between an iPhone and an Android, and you'd love a smartphone for web browsing and email, then the N9 could be for you.

TravelSIM

TravelSIM

As a way to ensure worldwide calling ability, TravelSIM is excellent — but call quality and data rates detract from the experience of using it.

CeBIT 2012 opens: photos

Business-technology exhibition CeBIT 2012 kicked off today, bringing together a who's who of technology players. Many exhibitors appeared to be playing it safe, with booth babes absent from view. Instead, a few took BYO to heart, and brought their own trucks, caravans and bikes.
