Mitac Mio DigiWalker (8380)

So, as I said a while ago I went to Taiwan to see about buying the Mio, yes I know its a hell of a way to go just for a phone, but I was in the area (Singa). I also know a friend out there so that …

Jabra Bluetooth Headset

When you think about it, we're lazy ! :) Not content with having a phone that we can use pretty much anywhere, we want to text anywhere, email anywhere and play MP3's as we ride the train to work. Well, now we're not even satisfied with hands-free.. He...

Ora Safe2Talk

SmartPhone Comments

Over the months I've had lots of emails from people commenting on the SmartPhone and its qualities etc. I thought I'd stick a page together with these comments, so if you're thinking of getting a SmartPhone read on. It's also worth checking out the Gue...

Piel Frama High Quality Case (for HTC Tanager)

The Piel Frama is probably the Rolls Royce of phone cases. From the very moment that you see the swish box with embossed gold lettering and logo, you can tell it's going to be good. This particular case was designed for the QTek 7070 / SPV E100 (bot...
