Reviews (10)

  • Samsung Galaxy Icon

    While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

  • HTC Hero

    HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.

  • HTC Dream

    We're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features; however, the Google Android platform has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful.

  • Kogan Agora and Agora Pro

    The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.

  • Samsung Preston Icon
