It may be better the second time around though, as the new HTC Touch Pro is better, faster, and comes with more features compared to its older sibling.

But despite sporting the latest features, this smartphone failed to impress and made us ask the question, “Is this worth it?” Mon, 29 Sep 2008 07:05:00 GMT http://www.channelnews.com.au/Reviews/Phones/D3G9F2S4 Mendelson Tiu http://news.smarthouse.com.au/images/shared/20080929050840d2d72.jpg http://www.channelnews.com.au/Reviews/Phones/E7Q4P3G5 I have to admit, I have never used a GPS phone for what it was intended to do--that is why using the Nokia 6210 GPS navigator was quite a novelty, not least due to the fact that using the GPS was simple and straightforward, if a touch slow.

The Sony Ericsson W980 looks like one of those DoCoMo phones you can buy in Japan and feels very cheap to say the least. But if you are willing to give this phone a chance, you will soon grow to love it for its easy interface, massive storage capacity, and unique features.

However, what separates this unit from other phones is what it brings to the table. The Smarthouse Team takes a look at the E71 and sees what this smartphone has in store for us.

These new phones not only offer touch-sensitive screens, it also provides users with applications that redefine how a mobile phone should be. HTC’s latest offering, the Touch Diamond, comes with a TouchFLO 3D interface that claims to gives you touch control over this Windows-based smartphone, but just how well does it perform?

During the past two weeks I have been using a 3G iPhone, I have never owned an Apple phone let alone an Apple computer despite spending many years writing about Apple software and hardware.

The new Motorola unit is no exception – it has ‘merged’ the elegance of Ferrari with its existing V9 model, creating a new flip phone for Ferrari fanatics. But how does this prancing horse stack up?

Despite being an entry-level, Windows Mobile 6 smartphone, the new Jama 101 comes with proprietary programs that allow users to customise and protect their unit effortlessly.
