The Camileo S20 captures videos in Full HD quality with 1920 x 1080 pixels and shows the viewfinder image on a rotatable 3" TFT display. They synchronize with laptops or TV sets via HDMI. -Matt

Running Android 1.6 with some specifically written software, the device provides a little storage for photos and other media on the 4GB flash memory and an SD card slot of expanding that. There is also WiFi, 720p playback, massive codec support, built-in speakers, and a kick stand. -Gareth

The iCarpus is designed to hold ALL handheld devices such as iPod, iPhone and Android, as well as mp3 devices with or without protective cases. As you will see in the video below it is extremely easy to use and is opened one handed. -James

It has been a wee while since we have had a new Android device from Acer but the Stream is here and its specs are on par with many of the top end handsets from other manufactures. Sporting a 3.7 inch screen and powered by a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor the Stream with Android 2.1 on [...]

Hopefully you will have seen the cool NokiaBox video that we recorded in central London. We were invited to take part in the #NokiaBox event which took place in 4 cities around the world. This ended up being on of the biggest unboxings that we’ve ever done and the first one we’ve done outside in [...]

LaCie may not be the first name that springs to mind when looking for a media player but the LaCinema is in fact just one of a range of HD media player products from LaCie. In this brief video we’ll take a look at what’s in the box as well as taking a tour around [...]

Well this one was a little bit different. Having been teased by Nokie over the NokiaBox for the past few weeks I was invited to a meeting in London. Little did I know that I would be led to the Millennium Bridge and asked to unbox the Nokia C6 in what is possibly the biggest [...]

A while ago Archos started to expand their offering though and are now offering Internet Tablets, Netbooks and also Media Players with both their own linux based operating systems and, more recently, Android OS. This latest product that we have on review from Archos is the 3cam Vision. It’s a small portable media player with [...]

The BlackBerry Curve 3G has not changed too much compared to its predecessor, the 8520, but the big difference is the added bonus of 3G. There are also a couple of physical changes. The 9300 now has a chrome bezel similar to the 9700 and its battery cover is also new. No longer smooth but [...]

At under £60 the phone is lacking a few features such as Wi-Fi and 3G but it does offer great social network integration and includes its own Facebook client. -Matt

Over the past few years we’ve looked almost all of the HD camcorders in Sanyo’s XACTI range. In fact we quite like the Xacti camcorders as they record decent quality HD footage in MP4 format on SD memory cards which makes it easy to transfer to the PC or Mac for editing. Most of the [...]

The Racer is a fairly entry level handset but still has some good features such as Android 2.1, GPS, WiFi and a 2.8″ touchscreen. It’s perhaps not the most attractive looking handset, I’d say it’s a little bit retro but not bad. -Matt

Whilst the Vodafone 845 may have a fairly budget price the features aren’t so skimpy. For starters you’ll find Android 2.1 Eclair as the operating system, 2.8” touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera and a host of other features. It’s good to see a smaller and less-expensive device with Android 2.1 -Matt

The latest incarnation of the Milestone, the XT720 sees Motorola continuing to innovate and stands at the moment as the only smartphone to be capable of outputting video in HD over an HDMI cable, allowing you to watch back the 720p HD footage you recorded on the 8 megapixel camera. -Matt

A few months ago I got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet and we did a little review of the portable media player. This time I’ve got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet to review. So at this point you may be wondering if I’ve just repeated myself in the [...]

The Nokia X3 has been around for a while now but we constantly get asked about it, possibly because it’s just got the circa £100 on PAYG mark. So we decided we had better get around to unboxing and reviewing it. -Matt

A few weeks ago I managed to get my hands on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and we were able to unbox and review that here on site already. Overall we were impressed with the phone, it’s a bit of a niche device that obviously wont suit everyone but we liked that it kinda [...]

The Nokia 7230 is a compact slider that’s reassuringly well constructed with the right details to make imaging and sharing a natural part of your everyday life. The Nokia 7230 has a compact form, excellent build quality and feels good in your hand. Enjoy the reassuring feel of premium metal elements – with accented details [...]

HP have had a range of dedicated photo printers for a while and the Photosmart range is certainly popular. Our friends over at IT247.com sent us the Photosmart A532 to review and also to give away as a competition prize (details coming up in a post shortly). -Matt

Yes I know it’s not an unboxing video as such but the demo phone isn’t in a box! Actually this video was quite popular on YouTube so I thought I would add it here along with the unboxing of the Galaxy S. With so many of us now using social media apps I thought would [...]

The Samsung S3370 is part of their Corby range but this new low end touch screen device is now packing 3G so web browsing etc wont be quite as frustrating. As I write this I am not sure how much the Samsung S3370 will retail for but I would imagine it will be inline with [...]

Running Android 1.6 with a 7″ Touchscreen, 128MB ram and SD card support the Eken M001 seems like a decent toy for the £100 mark, about a quarter of the price of the iPad for example. Should Apple be scared? Er, definitely not but there are several manufacturers out there now offering alternatives so we [...]

If you haven’t seen the X10 Mini before then you might be surprised at just how small it is. I’m sure that it must be the smallest Android handset out there and among the smallest of any type. Even when you are told how small you don’t really appreciate it until you hold it yourself [...]

Here is the one that thousands of you will have been waiting for; the iPhone 4. I was extremely lucky at getting one of these. I phoned Orange Thursday morning and I think I was the first to get through. A simple process and my upgrade was on its way. This is my first ever [...]

We first Heard about the HTC Wildfire last month and James was lucky enough to be invited to the HTC press briefing and get his hands on the device even getting time to review a preview video. Since then the Wildfire has been gathering interest and many now regard this as being the HTC Desire’s [...]

I commented on it a few times during the video but I have to once again say that the Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy S is truly stunning, the video and photos don’t do it justice and words certainly cant either. All I can say is that it’s is incredibly bright and colourful and [...]

The Samsung Monte was released a few weeks ago and it’s already getting quite a lot of attention. Samsung have a huge selection of mobiles from entry level sub-£100 handsets all the way up to high-end smartphones such as the S9000 which is due next week. The Monte is a decent looking handset offering a [...]

LG have just added to their popular Viewty range and have introduced the LG Viewty GT aka LG GT405. The Viewty GT has a 3″ touchscreen display and is very much geared for web access and social networking. It includes Google Maps, Search and Mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter right out of the box. Other [...]

The Logitech Squeezebox Radio is a WiFi enabled music player that can not only connect to your own music collection stored on your PC or Mac but also stream music from the internet using a variety of free and paid for services. -Matt

The BlackBerry Pearl is nothing new but the 3G version is and we have been lucky enough to get one prior to the device going on sale. The 9105 also has a brother, the 9100. The 9100 has two letters per key, like we have seen before and the 9105 has three letters per key, [...]

The Streak is a decent looking MID (mobile internet device) although many comment that it looks like a large Blackberry Storm. The spec is also good, 1GHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM and 5″ screen with ‘Gorilla Glass’ which is all but indestructible. Perhaps the only disappointment with the device is that it’s currently shipping [...]

Almost three months have passed since we published our review of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and now we’ve finally managed to get our hands on the Vivaz Pro. Quite why there has been such a gap between the two devices I’m not sure, they are very similar in design and have identical operating systems. The [...]

The Samsung S8500 Wave offers a stunning specification which enables social networking and rich multimedia to be enjoyed. All applications and media benefit from the Super AMOLED 3.3 inch display which makes the screen come alive.  It provides a brighter, clearer and less reflective image and benefits from mDNIe technology.  With mDNle (mobile Digital Natural [...]

Back in February of this year HTC announced 4 new handsets at MWC in Barcelona, we’ve already seen and reviewed the first three of those handsets, the HTC Desire, HTC Legend and HTC HD mini. This is the new HTC Smart, the fourth of those handsets to be announced. – Matt

There aren’t too many Windows Mobile handsets being released at the moment but we have seen a few lately. The HD mini follows in the footsteps of its bigger brother, the HD2, and offers a very similar experience albeit within a smaller package. -Matt

The iPad, like many Apple products, seems to be falling in to the Marmite category, either you love it or hate it. After just a few hours using the iPad I can tell you that I am definitely in the love it camp! I’m pretty sure that the iPad will be one of those pieces [...]

The X10 is a large Android powered device and with a 4″ capacitive touchscreen it is of a similar overall size to the Toshiba TG01 or the HTC HD2 although just a little smaller. I believe that it’s currently the largest-screened Android phone available at the moment. -Matt

We managed to get the new unibody HTC Legend – an Android 2.1-based device with the latest HTC Sense interface. Here we have a look at the phone and the interface itself, plus a look at the build and how the battery is inserted – this is a full unboxing, straight from the jiffy bag! [...]

There is perhaps a lot of hype around the HTC Desire so I’m sure we are all hoping that it will live up to our expectations. I’m going to spend the next week using the HTC Desire as my main phone and I will be putting together the full review along the way. – Matt

Last month saw the launch of a few new HTC devices, the HTC Legend being just of of them and it seems that this one will be the first to go on sale. So the Legend review units seem to have started to arrive with various journalists over the past few days and ours arrived [...]

Samsung released the B3410, also known as the CorbyPlus or the Delphi, at the end of last year. It seems to have become a pretty popular pay as you go handset. With it’s sliding QWERTY keyboard and decent size display it seems to be one to appeal to those that send a lot of text [...]

Android is definitely going from strength to strength finding its way on to ever more mobile phones from different manufacturers and other products such as the Archos 5 portable media player. Now, with the release of the Aspire One D250 we’re starting to see Android on netbooks too! -Matt

I’ve been trying to get my hands on the Nokia N900 for a while now, many of you have emailed me asking for a review or asking questions about the N900 so we’ve been bugging Nokia for a review model almost daily! So this is not the full retail package but something rather cool and [...]

Acer and formerly Eten are no stranger to Windows Mobile smartphone devices but before the launch of the Acer Liquid (Acer A1) they’d never strayed from the Microsoft platform. The Acer Liquid launched earlier this week and is Acer’s first foray in to the world of Android OS and there’s another first for this handset, [...]

This is another of those eagerly awaited devices, having sold over 1 million units in the US as the Motorola Droid it’s expected to be a big hit here in the UK as the Motorola Milestone. -Matt

A small Netbook from Toshiba, the NB200 is a neat little computer, lets take a look… -Matt

The 20-key compact QWERTY of the E55 wasn’t to everyone’s liking so Nokia have now come up with the Nokia E52. The E52 looks almost identical to the E55 but instead of the compact QWERTY offers a standard numeric keypad. -Matt

“Stay on top of life with the Sony Ericsson NaiteT phone. A classic 3G phone designed to help you stay in touch, stay organised – and do a bit for the environment. Its timeless looks include a large 2.2″ LCD display so you can easily see your calendar and contacts. It’s got a decent camera, [...]

LG has been one of the industry’s leading innovators in touchscreen phones since it launched the world’s first full touchscreen phone, PRADA Phone by LG, in January 2007. Since then, the company has achieved great success in the touchscreen devices market by creating an array of handsets designed to meet different consumer needs. For instance, [...]

There’s a raft of new Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets hitting the market at the moment. LG want a piece of the action and have launched the LG GM750. The GM750 is quite similar in form and spec. to the Samsung Omnia Lite that we reviewed a few days ago. It’s strange how LG and Samsung [...]

The original Blackberry Bold, the 9000, has been with us since early 2008 and worldwide its sales have been huge. Can the new Blackberry Bold 9700 carry on the success? – Matt

If you’ve been following closely you’ll know that a few weeks ago I went off to one of the XPERIA X2 launch events in London where I got to play with the handsets as well as speak to some of the nice people from Sony Ericsson.  On Friday SE send over a pre-release sample of [...]

We’ve been looking at quite a few of the Samsung Omnia handsets recently from the Omnia Lite a few weeks ago to the Omnia Pro B7330 just last week. So quite a few reviews are already in progress and will start going up next week so this morning I got my hands on the Omnia [...]

The FH1 is at the top end of the Xacti range offering the best recording modes, 1080p/1080i/720p, as well as having a 16x optical zoom and 8 megapixel sensor. I’m expecting good things from the FH1! -Matt

Following in the footsteps of the incredibly popular E71 the Nokia E72 aims to be the next evolutionary step for this handset form factor. -Matt

Vodafone announced the 360 a while ago and last week we managed to get our hands on one to review. The Vodafone 360 (aka Samsung H1) is the first LinMo or Linux Mobile handset we’ve seen here at tracyandmatt so it’s an interesting learning curve for us! -Matt

You cant fail to have noticed the news stories and blog posts about the HTC’s new flagship model, the HTC HD2. The HD2 is an excellent handset and despite having a massive 4.3″ screen HTC have managed to put together a package that feels relatively small in your hand and is slim enough to fit [...]

A little over a month ago HTC announced that they would soon launch another Google Android powered handset called the HTC Tattoo. Surprisingly soon after that announcement HTC have launched the Tattoo and we’ve just managed to get our hands on one for review. You can now read my HTC Tattoo Review tracyandmatt.co.uk -Matt

The F900, still showing fairly obvious Eten design characteristics, appears to be Acer’s answer to the popular HTC Touch HD, having virtually the same screen and a similar footprint. Whether or not the F900 can hold its own against the Touch HD we’ll find out over the next few weeks as we test it for [...]

In this video I unbox the T-Mobile G2 Touch, the T-Mobile version of the HTC Hero. The device is available to buy now from T-Mobile. P

Ever since the Sony released their HDR-FX1000 HD Handycam I’ve wanted to get my hands on one to review. As you are no doubt aware, I record a LOT of video for the website and although I am quite pleased with the results from the Sanyo HD1000 that I use at the moment I wanted [...]

I must admit that when I first heard about the LG GD910 Watchphone a few months ago my initial reaction was that it would be nothing more than a gimmick and would have little practical use. However, having managed to get my hands on the Watchphone a few days ago I’ve changed my mind a [...]

While the Sony Ericsson W205 is intended to be entry-level, which becomes apparent when you look at the 1.2″ Display and 1.3MP camera, but there are some features that help to elevate its status a little. For example, there’s the build in FM Radio with RDS and the ability to record the FM radio and [...]

The S312 may be entry level but it still looks the part and has some decent features. We’ll be following up the W205 review with the S312 in a few days time but have a look at the unboxing video below for more details for now. – Matt Sony Ericsson S312 unboxing video

The Acer Aspire Revo is an ultra small form factor PC and is probably among the smallest we’ve seen. Combining the power of the NVidia 9400M Graphics Processor with the lean efficiency of the Intel N230 Processor, the Aspire Revo redefines compact, affordable computing with a package that is big on performance but miniscule in [...]

I think that it’s fair to say that Asus played a fairly big role in the success and popularity of the netbook PC over the past few years with the Eee PC 701 selling in such vast quantities that it was hard to get hold of in the early days. Now it seems that all [...]

This is one handset that we’ve had repeated requests to unbox and review on site and this week I managed to get my hands on the LG GD900 Crystal. I have to say it’s a great looking handset with an impressive touchscreen display and an equally impressive transparent sliding keypad, hence the Crystal name. – [...]

It has been quite a while since we saw a Windows Mobile device from Toshiba and this, the TG01, looks like being one of the more popular handsets they’ve released. Rumours of the Toshiba TG01 surfaced about 8 months ago but Toshiba put and end to the rumours and speculation by announcing the TG01 officially [...]

Just a quick video for you today. Last week I unboxed a pre-retail version of the HTC Hero which was in a pretty plain box. Thanks to our friends over at Orange we managed to get our hands on the full retail version. – Matt

In this video I unbox the white HTC Hero, the new flagship Android phone from HTC. The HTC Hero is available to buy now from devicewire.com. P

In this video I unbox the Acer M900, the sliding QWERTY equipped high spec Windows Mobile Professional device from Acer. The Acer M900 is available to buy now from eXpansys. P

It was barely a month ago that we were at the HTC Hero launch event and in a very short space of time the HTC Hero has become an extremely hot topic. Yesterday I managed to get my hands on the HTC Hero final hardware and software build so thought I’d run through a quick [...]

Perhaps the one thing that makes the Aspire 4810T stand out from the rest of the crowd is the claim that the battery life is around 9 hours! Now we’ve all heard claims of exceptional battery life from manufacturers and they are often then subject to a caveat that it’s x hours of light use. [...]

The Viliv S5 is a pretty well spec’d MID/UMPC that looks a little bit like a smaller version of the Samsung Q1 (a little). There’s a 4.8″ WXGA touch screen (1024×600), 32GB solid state drive (128GB SSD coming soon), 1GB Ram, Windows XP, Bluetooth, WiFi and perhaps most notably, build in SiRF Star III GPS [...]

As you may know, last year we conducted a small group test of digital camcorders as we were looking for for something new to record our unboxing videos on. When we conducted our group test we set a budget of £200 – 250 and at the time the only HD camcorders to fall in to [...]

The Acer M900 is a similar size to the TP2 and also has a large WVGA (480×800) touch screen display and, perhaps more importantly, a good sized slicing QWERTY keyboard. The M900 is a little cheaper than it’s rival but has a comparable specification so it’s not surprising that we’re being asked whether we think [...]

In this video I unbox the Nokia N97, the new flagship device from the Finnish giants. The Nokia N97 is available to buy now from eXpansys. P

In this video I unbox the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic with 24 months comeswithmusic subscription. The device is available to buy now from Orange. P

In this video I unbox the HTC Touch Pro2, the follow up to the Touch Pro and the HTC Kaiser devices – featuring the new ‘Straight Talk’ conferencing feature. The HTC Pro2 is available to buy now from eXpansys. P

The LG Viewty Smart looks like a worth successor to the popular LG Viewty which has been around for over 18 months. The new handset offers a larger and higher res touchscreen display as well as an improved 8 megapixel camera, TV output (with additional cable), AGPS, photo geotagging, Google maps, etc. – Matt

It doesn’t seem like long ago that I was all excited and telling you about the latest HTC Touch Diamond2 that I’d managed to get my hands on. However this week something else turned up at tracyandmatt towers that I think could be even better! I am of course referring to the eagerly awaited HTC [...]

You may have seen the adverts for the LG Arena on TV where the phone is demonstrated as a completely touch-screen device. Fans of the HTC Touch may hove noticed some similarities between the user interface on the Arena and the Touch Cube on the HTC Touch. The LG Arena has an extremely sensitive screen [...]

The W715 is another exciting exclusive for Vodafone customers. The seamless integration with Vodafone’s Music services, such as single or full album download, provides for a great overall experience on our fast and reliable network. With fully integrated GPS and Vodafone Find&Go, this phone is offering a very attractive feature set in a combination we [...]

Although it was only announced a few months ago at MWC, it feels like I’ve been waiting ages to get my hands on the HTC Touch Diamond2. I guess I must just be impatient to replace my original Diamond! – Matt

This is one of the first Dual-SIM Windows Mobile devices to make it to the UK and the first from Acer since acquiring E-Ten last year. The Acer DX900 allows you to have uninterrupted access to two separate phone services, for example; one for business and one personal, or one for calls and another for [...]

There are several several media players in Sandisk’s Sansa range and this, the Sansa Express, is at the lower end. That said, the express still has a decent OLED display and FM radio. This model has ‘only’ 1GB of memory but that’s still enough for a few hundred songs and you can add another 8GB [...]

We’ve looked at several Lumix models in the past but this FX500 is one of the higher models from Panasonic. Features include 10MP sensor, 25mm wide angle lens, 5x optical zoom, face chaser, smile sensor, steady shot – the list goes on! There’s even a 3″ Touch Screen on the back to simplify menu navigation [...]

The HTC Touch Viva is one of the latest handsets from HTC within the Touch range. The Viva is actually a fairly entry level. However it does have a reasonable amount of ROM/RAM and also has WiFi. The spec may seem a bit mean, especially in the CPU department, but having used the Viva briefly [...]

Here I unbox the Lenovo S10e, the 1.5GB Linux version which at the time of writing is retailing for £259.99 including the 6 cell battery, Bluetooth, Broadcom Wirless and other such lovely things! P

The INQ1 is excusive to 3 and was released in the UK in November of last year. A much more affordable phone, aimed at the younger generation, the INQ1 is being sold as “The Social Mobile” with fast access to Facebook, Windows Live Messenger and free Skype-to-Skype calls. This is Tracy’s first unboxing video! – [...]

In this video I unbox the Elgato turbo.264 HD for the Apple Mac, a perfect tool for the budding unboxer! You can read more about the product here on the Elgato page, and i’ll be posting on http://Netbooks.MoDaCo.com about how I get on! P

We’ve unboxed several other Sanyo Xacti camcorders and this is the latest HD2000.  Looking the same externally as its predecessors, the HD1000 and HD1010, the new HD2000 offers some marked improvements. The CMOS sensor has been upped to a 8.1 megapixel chip and the zoom has increased from 10x to 16x optical. The biggest difference [...]

In this video I unbox the Asus Eee Box B202 – the netbook without a screen! This super slim box, which retails at £199 at time of writing from Argos.co.uk, features an Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, 802.11n WiFi and is EXTREMELY small and quiet, with only a 20W power drain! It’s nice… [...]

Ok, so Bluetooth headsets may not be the most interesting of items to unbox but I think you might agree that this one is just a little bit special?! Not only is the Nokia BH804 headset among the smallest and lightest available but it is also extremely well presented! – Matt

I know the G1 has been out for a while but I’ve just managed to get my hands on this T-Mobile G1 retail unit to unbox. So far I’d say that the G1 is a decent handset but I’ll be using it more before I make up my mind! – Matt

The Minoru 3D webcam is billed as the worlds first 3D webcam. Simple to set up and simple to use the Minoru records still images or video and works with almost any webcam enabled application. All you’ll have to do is make sure that your friends have a pair of red/blue 3d glasses! – Matt

Despite being fairly old device by Windows Mobile standards the Orbit II remains available on O2 and is still a popular handset which seems to be evident by the number of questions that we get about the handset. We’ve also been asked about the unboxing video so we thought it was time to get our [...]

In this video I unbox the new Samsung NC20 sort-of-netbook! I say sort of netbook because it has a 12″ screen and is £380 at the time of writing! It is powered by the new Via Nano processor, so is an interesting departure from the staple Atom based netbook design. In the video I compare [...]

In this video I unbox the Pantech Matrix Pro, available from AT&T. This Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) handset features both a QWERTY slider and a 12 key slider and is a follow up to the Pantech Duo. P

In this video I unbox the innovative ‘ice’ handset from new player in the market Mobinnova. The device features an innovative WQVGA display with a dedicated shortcut area, and a secondary screen in place of a directional pad that fan adjust it’s functionality depending on the application in use. The handset will be available to [...]

The Blackberry Storm 9500 is an interesting looking touch screen device from RIM. Larger and heavier than the other devices in the Blackberry range it does offer a decent amount of memory and fast CPU. Add that to the touchscreen and accelerometer and you have a good combination – many of HTC’s recent devices prove [...]

The Voice Messenger has a candy-bar style form and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (Smartphone) so there’s no touchscreen. However, we do get integrated GPS, WiFi and a pretty fast CPU coupled with decent ROM and RAM capacity. The front is gloss black and the back and sides are made of polished silver-grey metal which [...]

There’s no denying the popularity of the  Net Book form factor at the moment with virtually all laptop manufacturers offering a mini laptop of some kind within their range. We’ve unboxed and reviewed a large number of these in the past from the trend-setting 7″ Asus Eee PC to the more recent 9 and 10″ [...]

The Sony Ericsson W302 is packed with impressive Walkman™ features in a no-compromise 10.5mm slim, aluminium front handset. The W302 comes complete with an impressive two megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID™ and 512MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2). – Matt

Here I finally get to unbox a retail, black, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1i! Hurrah! P

In this video I unbox the cable-spaghetti-defeating Idapt Universal Desktop Charger from DSL Developments. This is the 2 port version, a 3 port version is also available. P

In this unboxing video I have a look at the Blackberry 8900 (RIM Javelin) which many people are refering to as the new mini Blackberry Bold and looking at the handset its easy to see why. The 8900 is in fact a new Curve model though. The screen is extremely clear and sharp thanks to [...]

Nokia’s XpressMusic range is doing very well at the moment and this Nokia 5800 seems to be king. The Nokia 5800 in this unboxing video is one of only a few Nokia devices to feature a touchscreen and has very few hardware buttons apart from the regular ‘phone keys’. While targetting music lovers the 5800 [...]

The Data Messenger looks quite similar to the HTC TyTN II and shares the same form factor. But interestingly, despite being released well over a year later than the trusty TyTN II the spec of this handset isn’t much better than the TyTN II. A beautiful 3G smartphone with large touch screen display, full slide-out [...]

The Samsung NC10 set new standards for engineering quality in the netbook market… and here I unbox a white example (of course)! The NC10 is available for purchase from our partners Handtec! P

Here’s a video unboxing of the android-toting T-Mobile G1 (UK version) in my favourite gadget colour… WHITE! I’ve included the HTC Touch Diamond in the video for size comparisons. P

This Canon FS100 was the 4th camera that we looked at in our camcorder group test. Camcorder group test (Part 5) Canon FS100 Review – Matt

The HTC Touch HD is another important device for HTC – many claiming it as HTC’s asnwer to the iPhone.  It’s glorious WVGA display sets the HD apart from many of it’s competitors and it has the power under the hood to match. HTC Touch HD Review – Matt

Small pocket-sized computers running desktop-type applications and with a full suite of connectivity options. The M528 is a MID. Intel seems to be very keen about MIDs at the moment, and it seems that they are the next great thing. Mind you, Nokia has been quietly punting them out for a few years now in [...]

The Sanyo Xacti HD700 is the 4th camcorder from our group test and the one we liked best! The HD700, as its name suggests, records video in HD (720P) on a SDHC memory card. One of the nice things about the Xacti range is that you can capture still photos even while recording video footage [...]

The Innov8 is a fairly good looking candybar style handset with a slider that reveals a numeric pad and looks a little like a bigger N95. The screen is a generous 2.8″ QVGA which does make the handset a little more chunky than I would like. Samsung i8510 Innov8 Review – Matt

I’m unboxing two handsets in this video, the Velocity Mobile 83 and the Velocity Mobile 103. Velocity Mobile are fairly new to the Windows Mobile arena. – Matt

The Sony HDR-SR11E is actually one of the cameras that we now use for our unboxing videos. This model sits at the high end of the Handycam range and records in glorious HD Video footage can be recorded on either a MSPro Duo card or the built in 60GB hard drive. In the highest definition, [...]

The Glofiish X610 is like the V900′s ugly sister, there isn’t a TV tuner in this model but you can still find a built in SiRF StarIII GPS chipset and a reasonably fast CPU. There’s only 64MB or RAM though so it can struggle from time-to-time. Eten Glofiish X610 Review – Matt

Toshiba Camileo H10 was the second camcorder in our group-test. The H10 is Toshiba’s budget entry into the high definition camcorder market. The most remarkable thing about this camcorder is the fact that it’s a high definition camera (HD) for about £180. Not long ago this would have been much more expensive and out of [...]

The Sony Rolly is a weird looking robotic media player. It sounds like a crazy idea, and perhaps it is, but Sony have applied some of their robotics technology to this small dancing media player. The result is this fascinating Sony Rolly. People will watch this thing dance for hours. Well I say hours, I [...]

Last year I started looking for a new and inexpensive digital camcorder to replace the DVD camcorder that I’d been using to record our unboxing videos. I was surprised that there was a lack of direct comparisons between many of the leading models so I decided I would carry out my own group test on [...]

Eten have been around for a while and we have seen several devices under the Glofiish brand. However, the V900 it something a bit special as it’s one of a very few devices that has a built in DVB TV tuner that allows you to watch free-to-air digital TV. Unlike some other handsets that I’ve [...]

Yes, I know it’s another one of those not-quite and unboing videos but once again Paul and I managed to get our hands on this early T-Mobile G1 android phones so we thought we would give you a quick video tour of the device while no one from T-Mobile was looking! – Matt

Here’s a demo of the Mugen Power 6600mAh battery running on the HTC Shift… just what it needs to be honest to boost it’s feeble capacity and batter life! P

In this unboxing video I show off the Blackberry 9000 Bold before taking a brief look at the O/S. – Matt

Ok, ok so this is another video that isn’t really an unboxing but it is a popular and important video. Paul and I were quite literally the first to get our hands on this production unit at the launch event that we weren’t really meant to have! – Matt

Palm are arguably the pioneer of the PDA right from the original Palm Pilot in the mid-90′s through to today’s Treo Pro. What started off as a modest 512kB PDA has today morphed into a sophisticated multimedia device. No longer a simple PDA, no longer a simple phone. The screen on the Treo Pro is [...]

The Samsung i900 Omnia is another device that seems to be a direct response to the Apple iPhone.  It has a large, wide touchscreen and a seeming lack of other hardware buttons. It has proven to be a popular seller for the Samsung. Samsung i900 Omnia review – Matt

There are a lot of small form factor laptop and UMPC style devices finding their way on to the market at the moment, each of them hoping to be the next Eee PC. The problem is that many of them are simple copying the Eee PC concept and not putting a great deal of ‘new [...]

Yet another massively popular device from HTC the Touch Pro was deemed by many to be the replacement for the ageing HTC TyTN II. The Touch Pro that you see in this unboxing video was literally one of the first here in the UK and altough it is full retail hardware we had a while [...]

You don’t have to buy a Blackberry or Windows Mobile device to pick up your email these days, most high-end mobile phones have a built in Email client these days. However, if you want to send more than just the odd email you’ll probably want a device with a built-in keyboard. The Nokia E71 is [...]

The iPAQ 914c is another great looking device from HP. The iPAQ 914 is a blackberry-style Windows Mobile device with a fixed full QWERTY keyboard. Typically you would expect a device of this form factor to be a Windows Mobile Standard style Smartphone but in this case HP have included WM 6.1 professional complete with [...]

There’s a lot crammed in to the 2133, there’s a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and an awesome 1280×768 display that has got to be one of the sharpest TFT’s I have ever seen! The HP 2133 Mini-Note model in this unboxing video came with Linux pre-installed and it the nicest Linux implementation I have [...]

I’d been looking for a small and inexpensive HD camcorder for a while and when the Aiptek AHD Z500 plus HD came along it seemed too good to be true, offering 1080p and 720p recording on an SD card that could then easily be used in a PC card reader seemed ideal. However, the Z500 [...]

Not the most well known of manufacturers, Mobile & Wireless Group (MWG) is a Singapore based start-up company founded by the team responsible for O2’s ground-breaking range of PDA-phones. Previous models being the likes of the Atom Life and V, and also the UBiQUiO range most of which we have covered previously. The MWg Zinc [...]

Here’s my unboxing video featuring the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV… the slightly restyled HTC Touch Diamond variant! It’s nice… P

The Celio Redbly may look like a conventional small laptop computer but it is in fact a ‘mobile companion’ – it does in fact connect to a Windows Mobile device either via USB or via Bluetooth to port the small screen of the mobile device to the larger screen on the Redfly. Watch the unboxing [...]

The PoGo is a very cool gadget allowing you to print your digital photos instantly and it’s small size means you can just about get away with putting it in your jacket pocket for printing anywhere. As a keen photographer it means I can instantly print proofs or snaps to give away at events. It [...]

This Limix DMC-TZ4, is one of a new breed of digital compact cameras hitting the market with a massive 10x optical zoom (28 – 280mm). There is something of a compromise associated with the excepional zoom though, the TZ4 isn’t the most compact of compact cameras and is also a little heavy. I’d say it’s [...]

Here’s my unboxing video of the groundbreaking HTC Touch Diamond, complete with furry carpet background! P

The Secret is certainly a good looking phone and one that you’ll probably want to show off to all of your friends. There’s a touchscreen and built in touch panel with haptic feedback, it seems that more and more phones have some element of touch screen action these days. LG KF750 ‘Secret’ review – Matt

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze was the third in a line of Sansa media players that we reviewed for SanDisk. This baby device looks a lot like the iPod Nano (but it’s a fraction of the cost). With similar features to the early models the Fuze is a smaller, neater package and with a claimed 24 [...]

We unboxed and reviewed the Nokia N800 some time ago and thought it was quite a cool device but we were unsure who would actually use it. Nokia released this updated version, N810,  which included a sliding QWERTY keyboard and newer version of the Linux based OS. As the name intimates, the N810’s primary function [...]

There was a big gap between Windows Mobile device from Toshiba, this being the first since their G900 which, when launched the year earlier, was met with very mixed reviews. This G710 is a Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) handset so there’s no touch-screen. There are definite similarities between this and the popular Blackberry devices so [...]

“It’s a busy, trail-blazing life you lead and Atom V with its intelligence and reliability is designed to fit right into it. With the sleek Atom V, you know you’re always on the right track wherever you may find yourself. Thanks to sophisticated inbuilt GPS*, powerful processing and a complete suite of multimedia features including [...]

The HTC Touch Diamond was launched in May 2008 and got instant rave reviews. I still use my HTC Touch Diamond to this day and suspect that, for me, the only handset to knock it off my top spot will be the Diamond2. This was also our first introduction to TouchFlo 3D which you’ll still [...]

The i-mate Ultimate 9502 – a device that promised so much… and delivered so little! Great specs, but poor design and software ultimately let it down (in my eyes)… P

As you can see form this unboxing video the HTC p6500 is a beast of a handset and not one that you’ll be able to easily slide in to your back pocket! The HTC P6500 is aimed at more industrial applications from logistics to warehousing and transportation, this full-featured PDA fits perfectly into any industry. [...]

When we got our hands on the Sony HDR-TG3E handycam it was quite literally the first and only unit here in the UK at the time so we had a great exclusive look at Sony’s new HD Camcorder. The TG3E is impressively small and light and records on the MS ProDuo memory cards, you even [...]

Here’s my unboxing video featuring the MWg Atom V. P

I must confess I had a bit of a soft spot for the Asus M530W, as did Chris, my podcast co-host! Here I unbox it on video. P

Here’s my video unboxing of the Eten / Glofiish (now Acer!) M800… a sliding QWERTY equipped Pocket PC (Professional) device. Competing with the Kaiser (aka TyTN II) at the time was difficult, but with it’s VGA screen and excellent GPS, it was a decent all round machine. P

Sony announced their new Walkman range of MP3/media players in February of 2008 and we managed to get our hands on this pre-release sample just a few weeks later. The Sony NWZ-A820 Walkman in this unboxing video is impressively small and light and not only does it sound fantastic but it also has an awesome [...]

Until the launch of the HTC TyTN II back in September 2007, my phone of choice was the Samsung i600. I liked the integrated keyboard and slim form factor but the one thing missing was built in GPS. However, Samsung recently released the i780 which looks like an updated version of the i600 but has [...]

The HP iPAQ 614 was one of those devices that was subject to big launch delays. It was promised on a particualr date only to fail to meet that deadline etc.  It was a bit of a chame really as the months of delays meant that those wanting it got fed up with waiting and [...]

We’ve looked at a few Lumix cameras in the past and this LS80 was an excellent addition to the range, especially considering it could be found for under £100! Panasonic introduces a new Lumix digital camera, the DMC-LS80, that combines easy-to-use advanced functions and AA-battery operation convenience. A newly developed Lumix DC VARIO lens system [...]

Previously known to us as the HTC Pharos, the P3470 was introduced by HTC early in 2008 as a budget GPS enabled Windows Mobile. First impressions are that the device seems quite capable and despite the relatively slow CPU (just 201 mHz) it seems to run along quite smoothly, probably aided by the 128MB of [...]

This is a video of me unboxing and firing up HTC’s Shift Windows Mobile / Windows Vista hybrid UMPC. P

The i-mate JAMA 101 reminds me of the old i-mate Jam (HTC Magician) and looks like an updated version of that device. It’s small, light and has decent syling. The JAMA 101 is one of the world’s most compact Windows Mobile 6 professional phones. The 2.4″ touch screen is housed in a stylish jet-black rubberised [...]

This is our Panasonic HDC-SD5 HD Camcorder unboxing video. Haven’t got anything more to say really! – Matt

Neonode isn’t a name that too many people will know but the company has been making Windows CE based handset for some time. The latest Neonode N2 may well look like a childs cyber-pet but is in fact a time touch screen Windows handset. Despite Neonode successfully negotiating deals with mobile operators in India they [...]

Running Windows Mobiel Classic the Mio Digiwalker P560 was a great little PDA for those wanting a neat GPS capable. The  3.5” display gives you increased functionality in dealing with your everyday tasks. View and edit Word and Excel files, view a PowerPoint presentation, all from the palm of your hand. – Matt

Pretty hefty looking the HP iPAQ 214, at first glance, seems a step back to the original iPAQ days. A PDA Device running Windows Mobile 6 Classic, with all of the standard features you would expect from this operating system – Except, no SIM card or telephone support. HP have integrated full wireless and Bluetooth [...]

Here is a video of me unboxing the MWg Atom Life. MWg, formerly known as O2 Asia, released this device exclusively through their investors eXpansys. P

The DMC-L10 features an advanced 2.5-inch free angle LCD for full time live view that offers 270 degree rotation and a versatile shooting style. A 10.1-megapixel Live MOS Sensor provides the beautiful images with delicate gradation and wide dynamic range. The superb image processor, Venus Engine III, boasts a high quality image rendering and high [...]

Budget Windows Mobile Professional Device, with masses of storage and surround sound for annoying your fellow bus passengers, a bit bling looking but with a great radio application. MWg bought and rebranded this O2 handset. You can see the full MWg Atom Life review on tracyandmatt.co.uk – Matt

We’ve looked at quite a few Media Players in the Sansa range in the past. The thing we like most about the Sansa range is the battery life, run time is measured in days rather than hours! You can also see my Sansa View review on tracyandmatt.co.uk – Matt

The HTC Touch Cruise is another one of those devices from HTC that everyone seems to be talking about and waiting for. It’s the latest in the line of devices from HTC to bear the Touch monica and to include the TouchFLO software and the extra-sensitive touchscreen. Looking a lot like the HTC Artemis the [...]

Here’s my video of the Benq E72 being unboxed, a tiny candy bar Smartphone. P

The i-mate ULTIMATE 8150 is very similar to the 6150, same size and design with the exception of the screen and keypad – the screen is a little smaller to accomodate the keypad. The i-mate Ultimate 8150 is a 640×480 touch screen device powered by Windows Mobile 6. Complete with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and XGA [...]

First impressions are that the 6150 is a nice looking device and it’s great to see another Windows Mobile phone with a VGA display and the addition of the VGA output is interesting. However, it’s strange how quickly new technology seems to become the norm so the lack of GPS is slightly disappointing. I-Mate released [...]

Here is a video of me unboxing the X600 from Eten / Glofiish (now Acer). P

Here is a video of me unboxing the UBiQUiO 711 budget UMPC. P

Here I unbox an 8GB version of the Eee 701 netbook, imported from Hong Kong no less. Gotta love the white-ness! P

Here I unbox the original T-Mobile Shadow for the USA, the Windows Mobile Smartphone slider with the 20 key keypad. Superceded by the Shadow II now, this still remains one of my favourite devices of all time! P

Here I unbox the innovative dual slider Pantech Duo… now replaced by the Matrix Pro! This remains unique in that it has the sliding 12 key and sliding QWERTY keypads, and if it only had WiFi and a standard charging connector, I think it would have been a lot more popular! P

The HTC S730 was another BIG device for HTC. Perhaps not to the same scale as the TyTN II or the Touch series – but it’s got to be number 3 in line. It sounds too good to be true really – a candybar phone, a large QWERTY keyboard and the still new Windows Mobile [...]

Here I unbox the 20 key HTC Touch Dual and compare it with the 12 key version. This is a truly excellent handset, that at the time of writing is still yet to be replaced (sadly). The 20 key version was only available outside the UK. P

The HTC Touch Dual was another device that everyone was talking about before Christmas 2007. Thanks to our friends over at Clove Technology we’ve managed to get our hands on one to review. Despite the original Touch having a somewhat limited spec, it sold by the bucket load. When HTC released a new group of [...]

The one that started it all, the good old Asus Eee PC 701! Here I unbox the black model – who would have thought it would start the Netbook craze that it did! P

You may remember the adverts on TV, an attractive looking black and silver phone with a built in 5 megapixel digital camera that has a high ISO sensitivity setting for capturing shots in dark conditions. Check out our LG Viewty review to find out what we thought of it! -Matt

Back in 2007 the Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ700B was Panasonic’s top of the range 42″ plasma screen. Like the Viera models that have gone before, the PZ700 is housed in a glossy back chassis which makes for an attractive package and wife-friendly piece of ‘furniture’. The front of the unit has clean lines with only the [...]

Polaroid sent us their Polaroid CGA-02540 Media Photo Device to take a look at. In essence the CGA-02540 is a 40GB external hard drive which connects to your PC via USB. When you plug the drive in the installed firmware takes over and scans your PC for photos and copies them to the backup drive. [...]

E-TEN’s Glofiish X800 was, at the time, one of only a few handsets to have a 480×640 VGA display, fewer still also had built in GPS. E-TEN’s next-generation Glofiish X800 Pocket PC Phone has begun shipping to channel partners around the globe. The X800 is E-TEN’s first handset to support 3.5G HSDPA connectivity for high-speed [...]

I’ve spoken about digital photo frames a number of times in the past and even reviewed a couple but these have mostly been of the 7″ variety. Polaroid recently sent me a 10″ photo frame to take a look at so as always I thought I would start off with an unboxing video. -Matt

The Polaroid brand probably isn’t one that you would immediately associate with LCD televisions, however Polaroid have been making LCD screens for some time now. The Definia range is Polaroid’s first attempt at making it in to the mainstream LCD TV market. We we’re initially happy with the Polaroid Definia when we reviewed it back [...]

The Asus M530w has a full qwerty keyboard and but it’s not a slider. That means it’s fairly big, pocket calculator size, and certainly looks rather geeky. However, for the form factor chosen, it’s making the best of things really. It looks and feels expensive, and the black/silver colour scheme look good, if a little [...]

At the time I recorded this unboxing video the Asus P526 (Asus Pegasus) was one of the few candy-bar style Windows Mobile devices to include GPS, Touchscreen and a phone keypad and seemed to cater for almost everyone. There are a few disapointments though. Firstly there is no built in WiFi nor is there 3G/UMTS [...]

The Samsung i620 took many of its design cues from the popular Samsung i600 and put them in to a small sliding keyboard device. This makes the Samsung i620 a compact and pocketable device. You can find out what we thought of the i620 by reading our Samsung i620 review. – Matt

Often photo frames will set you back £150+ just for a 7″ display which seems rather a lot when you can get a 17″ monitor for under £100!! This is where the digital photo frames from Living Images are different. They have a whole range of frames starting at just £49. The model we are [...]

We decided to take a quick look at the UBiQUiO 401 phone as it’s another of those devices that seems to have gone unnoticed and seems to have fallen well below most peoples radar. We wondered if there was a good reason for this as the 401 is an inexpensive Windows Mobile Smartphone with a [...]

OK, I do realise that the Eten Glofiish M700 is far from being a new device, but it’s one that we didn’t get around to looking at when it was first released and it seems to be one of those devices that, despite its apparent abilities, has been overlooked by many. This was the first [...]

Panasonic have a range of compact cameras that bare the Lumix name. This FX-12 was the first Lumix that I had the pleasure of using. As you’ll see, we unboxed and reviewed several other Lumix models. – Matt

In September 2007 the HTC TyTN II finally went on sale. It was an instant success, most retailers sold out on launch day and were selling pre-allocated stock for weeks later. Even now you can find TyTN II’s for sale at most mobile retailers and on some of the UK networks still carry the handset [...]

The original Samsung Q1 was one of the first true UMPC devices to be released, it was an interesting product but was not without its problems, the main one being the input method which used on-screen dial keys which, coupled with the relatively low-resolution display, made the Q1 cumbersome to use. Samsung have addressed these [...]

Light and compact – only 620g – the Parrot PARTY is the mobile soundbox that follows you everywhere you go. Equipped with a rechargeable built-in battery, it provides you with more than 4 hours of uninterrupted music, listening alone or with some friends, in your house or out on the move. Your preferred musics won’t [...]

The Blackberry Curve was actually the first Blackberry I ever used in anger.  I have to confess that I was quite anti-Blackberry at the time, it bugged me that you had to install exepnsive servers and software to use it with Exchange server. Anyway, the Curve was actually quite a nice handset and was the [...]

OQO revealed the Model 01 back in 2005 to great reviews and I can remember lusting after it at the time. I was really quite excited when the postie arrived with the package that contained OQO’s latest model e2, complete with its docking station. The e2 as supplied was almost the top of the range [...]

It may well look like a stormtroopers mobile phone but the O2 Cocoon is actually a well featured mobile. Designed as a life-style device is boasts a large 2Gb of internal storage and has an RDS enabled FM radio. The other cool feature is the external LED display that actually shines through the white case [...]

The TomTom GO 720 is a widescreen form factor device designed for in-car navigation and includes a couple of neat features. First of all you can use it with your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone as a hands-free car kit. Secondly the unit has a built in FM transmitter allowing you to hear the navigation prompts [...]

This was the first time we’d looked at a Sony Ericsson smart device. I know earlier models such as the P900 were popular so it was time to see what all the fuss was about. Alistair reviewed the Sony Ericsson P1i for us in October 2007 – Matt

The Nokia E90 Communicator sets a new standard for productivity whilst away from the office. With features ranging from a 3.2 megapixel camera to HSDPA, the Nokia E90 is the must have device from the world famous Nokia. – Matt

Yes the Orange version of the HTC Touch (HTC P3450 or HTC Elf) was essentially the same as the HTC branded unit but there were a few differences in the OS build which I highlight in this unboxing video. – Matt

The UBiQUiO 503G in this unboxing video was actually a pre-production unit so it’s not a full unbox as such. The UBiQUiO range offered decent value for money and was a cheaper alternative to many of the other Windows Mobile deivces on the market.  Design-wise the UBiQUiO 503G looks similar to the iMate JAQ3 (both [...]

If you are looking for a cheap and cheerful Skype phone then the UBiQUiO 101 in this unboxing video might fit the bill. You still need a PC though as this unit hooks up to the USB port as well as the phone line to provide Skype and landline capability. – Matt

The iPAQ 514 is a basic phone but has a number of features that you might expect to find on a higher-end device such as the inclusion of WiFi. This unboxing video is of the iPAQ 514c – the ‘c’ denoting that it has a built in camera. You can read the full HP iPAQ [...]

The Toshiba Portégé G900 was the first Windows Mobile device to break the mold and have a 3″ hi-res  800 x 480 display. Packing a QWERTY keyboard and 520mHz CPU the G900 was a powerhouse device that for some reason just wasn’t particularly popular. It was initially plagued but a nasty bug that prevented the [...]

The HTC P6300 (HTC Panda) was another Windows Mobile device from HTC to have a built in GPS chipset. It was also a larger device that was more like the HTC Alpine and HTC Blueangel. The HTC P6300 had previously been referred to at the HTC Panda and is also available on O2 as the [...]

The Netgear SPH200D combines Skype’s VoIP calling facilities with regular ‘land line’ a based phone both of which work over a DECT connection from handset to base station. – Matt

The Netgear SPH101 Skype WiFi Phone looks very much like a regular mobile phone, but where the device differs is that it connects to a WiFi connection, either your home router or a wireless hotspot, and allows you to sign into your Skype account. – Matt

The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet was a welcome update to the popular, yet under-powered, N770. The N800 features a faster CPU and more RAM and also includes an VGA camera for video with the likes of Skype. We thought that the Nokia N800 was an interesting looking device and wondered if it could work as [...]

The HTC Touch is probably he one device to really put HTC on the mainstream map. Before this point HTC was really only know to Windows Mobile enthusiasts but with the launch of the HTC Touch in June of 2007 HTC almost became a household name overnight and resulted on all of the UK networks [...]

Ok, I know this isn’t technically an unboxing video (that came later) but this was the first time that the HTC Touch had been seen in public. In this video you can see it playing with the TouchFlo user interface. – Matt

The P630 is a stand alone GPS navigation device similar to the Tom Tom Go units but uses CoPilot navigation software. Part of the P600 series, the P630, is an all new Personal Navigation device from Acer. This slim and ultra-portable designed unit incorporates a clear and bright 4” display, perfect for navigation, viewing photos [...]

Ideal for business and pleasure, the Portégé G500 gives you the best of both worlds. This quality and compact slider phone uses fingerprint technology to protect the data stored on the handset. Combining phone, email, web and an MP3 player on a Windows Mobile® 5.0 operating system, the G500 helps you to stay in touch [...]

Although this Orange version of the Samsung i600 is essentially the same as the vanilla Samsung version both have exactly the same hardware but there are some software differences as, once again, Orange removed MSN messenger from their version and branded the homescreen and icons. Perhaps the biggest problem to face the i600 was the [...]

The Orange E600 was the Orange released version of the HTC S620 and apart from some changes to the ROM, which included Orange removing Windows Messenger this is essentially the same device. When it was first released the E600 was only offered to Orange Business and Corporate customers and although that was almost two years [...]

The O2 XDA Orbit is based on the popular HTC Artemis platform, one of the first more mainstream devices to have built in GPS a fact exploited by O2 with the inclusion of CoPilot in the bundle. We went on to review the O2 Orbit in June of 2007 – Matt

The Orange E650 and the HTC S710 may both be HTC Vox devices but there are some minor differences between the two. Have a closer look at this unboxing video to find out more. – Matt

News of the HTC Advantage X7500 (HTC Athena) leaked out a few months before the device finally found its way on to the market here in the UK. This unboxing video is of a pre-release unit but the final product was identical to this. The original Windows Mobile 5.0 OS was updated in models sold [...]

This unboxing video was our first look at the Nokia N95 and in fact we were among the first here in the UK to get our hands on this Symbian based mobile. Although the N95 has now been replaced by the N96 the N95 remains popular despite early teething problems with the ROM that caused [...]

The iVak case comes in two parts that clip on the front and back of your iPod to completely enclose it. There is a clear window on the front that covers the screen and stops it from getting scratched. Also in the box there is a clear plastic cover for the click-wheel, a lanyard and [...]

We really like these SHB6100 Bluetooth Headphones from Philips and we’re still using them almost two years after we fist unboxed them! The battery life on the headphones and the Bluetooth dongle is amazing. They can be used as stereo headphones as well as having a Bluetooth headset profile that works with your mobile phone. [...]

The Samsung i600 (Samsung Blackjack) was a popular handset back in 2007 and while it’s somewhat long in the tooth now it can still be purchased for a bargain price from a number of online retailers. Initally launched with Windows Mobile 5.0  Samsung made a Window Mobile 6.0 update available a few months later. Matt

Here I unbox the T-Mobile Ameo, also known as the HTC Advantage / Athena! P
