The Preston has the look of a better handset, but poor call quality spoils an otherwise well-performing budget-priced touchscreen phone.
Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
Windows Vista's less than stellar reputation and poor uptake are due in part to the heavy demands it makes on system hardware. But how does Windows 7 perform?
Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
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.
With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.
Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.
Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.
Looking for a phone for well under $100? Samsung's E2510 makes excellent calls and is easy to use, but you can forget about the extra trimmings on this one.
We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.
The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.
The genius of the dual-SIM technology is overshadowed by missing basic features, poor navigation and terrible battery life. The idea is right, but this phone needs to be refined.
Today's netbooks are mostly Intel Atom-powered, but that could change with the advent of VIA's Nano processor, which outperforms Intel's CPU in several areas.
