Video Review – Nokia X6 Comes With Music
Nokia may have seemed a bit lazy recently, but the Nokia X6 Comes With Music is certainly one of their more exciting phones for quite some time. A touchscreen interface, pretty decent camera, massive storage space and the much-touted…

Review: HTC Touch 2
HTC are billing the Touch 2 as a compact alternative to more pricey smartphones. But can it really compete with the mighty iPhone, or even their own excellent Hero handset?

SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Samsung i8910 HD
Anna takes a look the Samsung i8910 HD, previously named the Omnia HD, which we gave you a sneak peak at last month:
Anna was clearly impressed by the camera and not without good reason. HD video recording at 720p (24fps) is a world’s first for a smartphone. We’ve seen examples of HD footage from this phone on a big screen and, we have to say, it looked good.
The photo aspect of the camera is fairly decent as well – 8-megapixels with auto-focus, face detection, smile sensor and blink detection.
Connectivity is via 3G (HSDPA) or Wi-Fi and it operates on S60 so you’ll be able to load it up with Symbian apps if you wish.
The media capabilities are also very impressive. HD playback is possible via the huge 3.7-inch AMOLED screen – yes, 3.7-inches is huge for a phone screen. It plays a massive range of media formats as well: AVI (DiVX/XviD), WMV, RV, MP4, 3GP, MP3, WMA, WAV, RA, AAC and M4A. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack which is always welcome.
So, overall this is a pretty good effort from Samsung – although the hefty price tag, as described by Anna, may be enough for customers to shun this phone in favour of many of its illustrious rivals.
Get one from Orange if you want to. If not, well, no biggie.
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Plantronics Voyager Pro

SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Kerchoonz K-Box
We previewed the K-Box last month and since then I’ve been putting it through its paces. Check out my video review below. Be warned though, I am sporting some huge bags under my eyes due to an incredibly heavy session at Royal Ascot yesterday. It was Pimms o’clock all day.
So overall, not bad, but not great either. At nearly fifty quid once you’ve paid for delivery, not too cheap either.
If you did want to get yourself a K-Box then go direct to Kerchoonz.
