Nokia N900 smartphone 17 December, 2009 14:20

Running an advanced, Linux-based operating system called Maemo 5, Nokia's N900 is certainly an interesting device.

LG has seen fit to release a device that looks like it would be at home in a gadget-packed James Bond movie: a watch phone.

Nokia 6760 slide smartphone 09 December, 2009 13:30

Sporting an unconventional design that houses one of the largest full QWERTY keyboards we've seen on a smartphone, Nokia's 6760 slide is definitely different. Though its compact size and comfortable keyboard are impressive, the 6760 slide has too many faults for us to recommend it.

ASUS Designo MS246H LCD monitor 08 December, 2009 16:00

Looking like a small flat-screen television instead of an LCD monitor, ASUS' Designo MS246H is one of the more interesting and stylish monitors we've reviewed. With a distinctive hollow circular stand that sits behind the monitor, the 24in, Full HD Designo MS246H manages to stick out from the crowd. It also doesn’t skimp on too many features.

Nokia E72 smartphone 03 December, 2009 14:20

RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone 27 November, 2009 16:00

RIM's new flagship BlackBerry has finally arrived. Selling alongside rather than completely replacing the previous Bold 9000, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone is smaller and sleeker. On the whole it's a slight improvement on its predecessor, but it doesn't offer anything new or revolutionary.
