The IXUS 70 has, to say the least, a striking design. Apparently modelled after the original IXUS APS film camera, its shape is a very minimalist plain rectangle, with the lens, the monitor screen and all the rear panel controls mounted smoothly flush with the body. People to whom I showed the camera while I […]

The appeal of the VX9400 starts and ends with the large 2.2-inch display. With a simple thumb flick, the screen flips up 45 degrees to the left into a widescreen position perpendicular to the phone’s body, revealing the slightly recessed dialpad. Whatever happens to be on the display automatically reorients itself depending on its position, […]

The cell phone equivalent of a Zippo lighter, the LG VX8700 stands out from other thin clamshells because of its shiny metal finish. But that’s not the only reason to snatch up this style statement. It’s far from cheap, but a sharp two-megapixel camera, V CAST video and music support, and stereo Bluetooth solidify the […]

The 6300 isn’t the cleverest mobile on the block: there are plenty of other phones with higher specifications. It’s not even a 3G handset, just Tri-band GSM with GPRS, so any data related tasks are relatively slow to accomplish. But it is extremely well designed, very small and comfortable to use, and has little by […]

Designed to reel in aspiring hipsters with its summer-job-friendly price point, the $99 Sidekick iD is best defined by what it lacks when compared with its pimped-out bigger brother. Unlike the $100-more-expensive Sidekick 3, the Sidekick iD doesn’t give you MP3 playback, a digital camera, Bluetooth, or an expansion card slot. What’s left is a […]

…entering from the red corner we have the new Nikon D40x, introduced in March of this year, a radically updated version of a camera which was only launched five months previously. The D40x is quite clearly designed to take on the EOS 400D, in fact it is all but identical to its rival. Is this […]

Coated in a soft metallic champagne color, the SCH-U740 is Samsung’s answer to an all-in-one PDA, mobile phone and email messenger seeks to deliver a slew of multimedia options to its consumers. Users can switch comfortably between the U740’s two opening methods: portrait mode, or a standard clamshell, and a landscape mode which reveals its […]

Last year during the European press conference in Hamburg, Olympus gave the starting shot for a new FourThirds SLR concept and the first real digital compact SLR - the Olympus E-400 - was born. Unfortunately it was only the European continent that was so lucky to get acquainted with this model, as all the other […]

One of the current trends in mobile phones is to go thin, thin, thin. In other areas it is possible to be too thin - modelling, acting and any thing else involving Size Zero. Can the same be said of mobiles? Sony Ericsson’s W880i made me ask this question because while it is just 9.4mm […]

Available in 2GB(A805), 4GbA806), and 8GB(A808) capacitites, the specifications of the NW-A800 series are certainly up there with the Sansa and utterly trounce the nano. Its 2in (42 x 31mm) 320 x 240 pixel screen is the biggest of any player in this class and is nearly twice that of the nano, battery life is […]
