HTC Sensation Review
The HTC Sensation is the current flagship phone for HTC and replacing the HTC Desire as HTC’s top selling and largest handset. With its powerful CPU, impressive screen and stylishly machined body the Sensation is certainly a contender in the top-end of the smartphone market, but does it have what it takes to knock out other dual-core leaders? We take a look in our HTC Sensation Review.
Samsung Galaxy S 2 Review
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is receiving a lot of attention right now, both from the media and from customers themselves. Quite rightfully so, the Galaxy S 2 is Samsung’s new flagship device and the rightful heir to the original Samsung Galaxy S throne. It’s currently the best-selling top-end Android device in the world but does it deserve to be? We take a look to see if the Galaxy S 2 really does live up to all the hype.
Optus Join Qantas Frequent Flyer
Optus have officially launched their Qantas Frequent Flyer integration offering two points per dollar on Optus personal services. The most refreshing part of this announcement was the lack of any asterix or superscript text to disclaim that two points was possible, 'depending on your circumstances' or 'excluding pre-paid and business'
Motorola Atrix Review
The Motorola Atrix was among the first of the new breed of dual-core smartphones we’re seeing in the market today. Along with an array of impressive peripherals, this was enough to give the Atrix almost instant fame in the tech industry back when it was announced. But now that we’re starting to get our hands on more and more dual-core smartphones can the Atrix stand alone as a solid contender for the smartphone crown as a stand-alone device without it’s unique optional extras? Stay tuned to find out in our Motorola Atrix Review.
Goodbye 3 Mobile Australia
Interesting news today as we say goodbye to the 3 Mobile brand on WhistleOut as VHA is retiring the new activities for 3 Mobile and not accepting any new customers beyond today. 3 have been a great performer on WhistleOut and we've put thousands of customers on to 3 Mobile since 2008 due to their very competitive pricing.
BlackBerry Bold 9900 Preview
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 has been one of the most anticipated releases in recent memory for RIM, the manufacturer of the popular BlackBerry line. The reason behind this is that the Bold 9900 has taken a slightly different approach to hardware design, without straying so far from RIM’s traditional form factor as the new BlackBerry Torch line has.
LG Optimus Sol Preview
LG has announced one of their next smartphones – the LG Optimus Sol. Hardware-wise the Optimus Sol is far from unimpressive. A single-core 1GHz CPU won’t turn too many heads, but it’s still a fast and solid processor for a smartphone. 512MB of RAM should be enough to handle most multitasking and a 5MP camera is pretty standard for today’s smartphone market.
HTC Wildfire S Review
The HTC Wildfire S is a small, budget smartphone available exclusively on the Telstra network in Australia. Unlike most network-exclusive handsets, the HTC Wildfire S will not actually function on any 3G network other than Telstra’s, but will still offer standard calling and texts on other carriers.
HTC ChaCha Review
The HTC ChaCha (aka the HTC Status in the US) is one of the new breed of Facebook/Social Media centric phones we’re starting to see crop up around the place. Much like the INQ Cloud Touch, the HTC ChaCha has a user interface (UI) experience based heavily around efficient Facebook navigation. However, unlike during the INQ Cloud Touch review we did a couple of weeks back, we were pleased to discover that HTC managed to not only make an easily navigable interface, but a responsive one as well.
Telstra LTE 4G Network On its Way
Telstra has announced the Enterprise and Business launch of its new Telstra 4G LTE Network. Come the 29th of August two thousand pioneer USB modems will be made available to Telstra Business customers. This new product is to be named the Telstra USB 4G and will run on both 4G LTE and 4G HSPA, utilising both the 1800MHz and 850MHz spectrum bands. This means that anywhere where customers do not have 4G support Telstra’s 3G HSPA network should still be available.
