Battery life. It's always a massive talking-point when you mention mobile phones. Come on, let's admit it, if we all had crappy old Nokia's with monochrome screens they'd last weeks without charging. Sure they would, but who wants to go back to a pho...

A while back the guys at MyHome247 sent me a box to review. Inside you'll find a starter kit which uses a combination of wireless technology, batteries and sometimes ethernet cable to connect you house onto the web. Why do that ? Well, fo...
Hey, remember nearly a year and a half ago? HTC sent us something called the HTC Touch. It was like nothing we'd ever seen before. Up until the arrival of the HTC Touch most Pocket PC handsets were either fairly bulky or brick-shaped. The HTC Touch ar...
I mentioned in my HTC Touch review that HTC seem to be pushing the envelope with their handsets at the moment. It's fair to say that HTC are adding features and functionality quicker than even Microsoft themselves. Now, with the TyTN II, HTC has throw...
