Tech Digest Live: Testing reflective laptop screens on the beach

Still, I soldered on – and you should’ve seen how happy the shopkeeper was when I bought that Cornetto! Definitely the first Cornetto he’s sold in 2008. Made his week.
So there you go. A stunning victory for the Portege R500, with its modern…

Shiny Video Review: Sony Ericsson C702i and C902i mobile phones
I have something to confess about this video – the C702i and C902i phones shown in the video aren’t actually working units, they’re just plastic models that Sony Ericsson sent us, so we could show you what they’ll look like in 360 degrees.
