Samsung Galaxy S 2 review

Since the galactic success of the Galaxy S last June, the Korean giant has refined its hardware chops, constructing the iPad-bothering Galaxy Tab, building the excellent Nexus S at Google's behest, and now crafting its meisterwerk: the Samsung Galaxy S 2.

Apple iPhone 3G Review

In a nutshell: The iPhone 3G is an amazingly user-friendly touchscreen phone. It includes many powerful features such as GPS navigation, OS X applications, fast web browsing, Apple's famous music-playing capabilities, up to 16 GB of built-in memory, and Wi-Fi support. But at the same time it's a very expensive device that misses a number of features that we've come to expect from high-end smartphones. We recommend the new iPhone 3G S instead.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Review

In a nutshell: The Torch is a groundbreaking phone for BlackBerry, with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system and a slide-out keyboard design. The new OS is a definite improvement over the previous version, but won't alienate existing users. The slide-out keyboard and capacitive touchscreen work very well. The Torch comes with integrated social messaging, a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, a media player, excellent connectivity, outstanding battery life and plenty of memory. Its negatives are its chunkiness, its high cost and its slow processor.

Apple iPhone 3G S Review

In a nutshell: The iPhone 3G S is easily the best iPhone ever. Apple have filled in the missing pieces of the jigsaw and created possibly the best phone / media player / internet device ever. Highlights include GPS navigation with a digital compass, OS X applications from the App Store, super fast web browsing, Apple's famous music-playing capabilities, up to 32 GB of built-in memory, and Wi-Fi. The only real problem is the price.

Apple iPhone 4 Review

In a nutshell: The iPhone 4 is a flawed beauty. The main improvements are the extra high resolution display, the improved 5 megapixel camera, HD video recording, a second camera for video calls and longer battery life. But there are problems getting a signal and it's phenomenally expensive too.
