Kaiser Baas 1.8-inch Digital Media Keyring

Though the Kaiser Baas digital media keyring sounds like a novel idea, the reality is hampered by its tiny size and cumbersome navigation system.

Kung Fu Panda

This movie-inspired action game is fun while it lasts, but sadly that isn't very long.

Asus LS221H

Billed as the "world's slimmest 22-inch widescreen" the LS221H has a classy conservative style.

Though the R10 has some smart, retro styling and a feature list as long as your arm, it falls down in the noise and performance stakes. Still, the camera's versatility gives you a headstart over its failings.

Nokia 6220 Classic

Playing on the brunette-stereotype, the Nokia 6220 Classic is a 3G smartphone that transcends its demure looks with pragmatic appeal, a stand-out 5MP camera and assisted-GPS.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.
TiVo HD

Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.
i-mate Ultimate 9502

The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is one of the best smartphones we have come across -- and if you're happy with Telstra -- the i-mate 9502 makes an excellent alternative to a Blackberry or iPhone.
LG KS360 (WebSlider)

Will Zune do Windows Mobile? Looks likely
