Before I start I must make something clear. This is not a phone. Sure, you can probably make calls on
it if you really want to, but the SIM card slotting into this baby is mainly for your internet connection.
We must also clear up a few misc…
Specs and details
HTC S730
Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz CPU
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Standard (non touch-screen)
256Mb ROM, 64Mb RAM

Known previously as the HTC Polaris this is now known as the HTC Touch Cruise. It’s the replacement for the
HTC Artemis – y’know, that phone we here
as the T-Mobile Compact III. The Tom Cruise… sorry, I keep doing that. The Touch Cruise no…
The whole concept of this device is .. interesting. For someone to sit down
one day and go “hey, I think we should have a phone that looks like a laptop,
but it’s not a UMPC, it’s a Pocket PC with a really big screen”.
Indeed, this devi…
When I receive a review handset I usually open the box and scribble down my
"first thoughts". On the bit of paper here I’ve written, "dinky" and "robust"
and "rubbery feel". Even now, several days after ope…
We recently had chance to sneak a look at the Asus P526. Although there wasn’t enough time to look at the internals and do a full review, we did manage to bag some excellent photos of the device and get a good overview.
Although this may look like a…
This is the TAD. I was sent a few of these to review and, once
they popped out of the envelope, a lot of my colleagues thought they were ..
something else. I’ll not say exactly what, suffice to say that it rhymes
with rock king.
The TAD is …
OK, let’s get some bits out the way. You’ll hear a lot of people
mentioning “Entry Level” when they discuss this GPS-enabled device.
Sure, it’s not got all the bells and whistles of the HTC Touch
Cruise. There’s no WiFi, no 3G and you’ll get a…
The design of the X600 is, I must confess, pretty swish. The deep red
strip around the edge of the handset and the black finish gives it a
classy feel. It’s a very nice looking handset with a black brushed
aluminium around the screen and …
This is a device you’re definitely not going to lose in a coat pocket. The HTC
P6500 isn’t the smallest of devices by any stretch of the imagination. It looks
like the Pocket PC’s of old and weighs nearly a quarter of a kilogram, yet
there’s a…
This, my friends, is the Slingbox. The guys at Sling Media let me borrow one for a week and now, three weeks later, I’ve still got it. If the truth be known I can’t bring myself to give it back. I figure that if I keep quiet, they might just forg…
The M700 will undoubtably be the eventual successor to the Orange SPV M600 we reviewed
previously. This time there’s a Samsung 2442 CPU installed – that’s the CPU powering the Orange SPV M3100 – running at a brisk 400Mhz.
You also get 3G connecti…
Occasionally I get some weird stuff to review. Possibly the strangest item we’ve looked at is the Sumo Bean Bag, however this comes a close second. Dirt and grime, it gets into your phone, so most people get a phone cover. Some, like me, don’t use a p…
This is the Vodafone v1605 – a small but
feature-rich handset. Push email, 2 megapixel camera,
fantastic connectivity, video
calling, Bluetooth 2.0, 400Mhz processor and a host of
shortcut buttons. Running Windows Mob…
Give this phone to people and you’ll get good comments. People will polish the
keys and mention the bright screen, but rarely will they notice the added bonus
to this normal-looking phone. What is it? Well, I’ll show you…

We were lucky enough to get this device before the launch. However, I’ve got
a confession to make. When the box arrived, I opened it up with all the excitement and
haste of a child at Christmas and inadvertently tossed the HTC P3450 / HTC Touch to…
So, the Orange SPV E650. Just an Orange version of the
HTC S710 we reviewed,
surely? Well, yes and no. Firstly, the keyboard is a different colour, we have
the obligatory Orang…
The Orange SPV M3100 is the bigger more powerful brother of the Orange SPV M3000 us Brits lusted over so much a while back.
It’s previous incarnation never appeared on our shores and many people defected to T-Mobile for their version of the M3000 …
The guys at
sumolounge.com sent
us an email a few weeks back. "Would you like to review our product?", they
said. Well sure, of course we could. But what was it? Well, a quick check of
their site led me
to the girl above. "Ho ho! …
The Virgin Lobster 700TV is the first Windows Mobile device from Virgin UK and is probably one of the first Windows Smartphones aimed at the “youth” and “fun” market rather than the “Business” and “Executive” market. The emphasis here is not on work…
