The first Pearl 8100 was released way back in 2006 , unlike other company's who release handsets with slight tweaks every year, RIM has waited before unleashing the Pearl 9105. However much we liked the design and build of the Pearl 8100, the lack of 3G and WiFi was unforgivable. As well as rectifying the connectivity issues RIM’s added some features to make the new Pearl even more enticing, now offering the connectivity of a smartphone, in a compact, consumer-friendly body.   The Pearl 3G has a lot in common with its chunkier brother the Blackberry Bold 9700, running Blackberry...Read More »

Canon’s IXUS range of compact cameras have always had a sense of style, standing out as fashion accessories as well as a series of top-class snappers. The latest of the big C’s IXUS beauties doesn’t disappoint either as T3.com found out following a little hands-on action with the Canon IXUS 300 HS as we tested its performance in low-light conditions, an area in which it is designed to excel.   Holding the black IXUS with its matt finish and sturdy metal body, we couldn't help but notice that the Canon crew have done it again and designed what is undoubtedly a beautiful looking little compact. Reassuring in the hand, thanks...Read More »

Sony’s monolithic TVs have landed, bringing with them a dramatically minimal design and a raft of new features. As part of the NX range, this set comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and Bravia Internet Video, which includes Lovefilm downloads, BBC iPlayer and all manner of web widgets. With a Freeview HD tuner and LED backlighting, it’s a big step forward for Bravia.   A single piece of glass serves as screen and frame, fitting flush into the metal bezel. With the gently illuminated Sony logo and subtle control panel that glows only when you brush it with your finger, this is...Read More »

Infinia is the brand name LG has dreamt up for its premium TVs like this 47-inch number and it refers to the rather fetching way the screen fits flush with the frame. It’s certainly a handsome set, but it’s the full LED backlight and staggering 9,000,000:1 contrast ratio that’s piqued our interest. Throw in a Freeview HD tuner and a handful of web widgets and we’re hooked.   No, this isn’t one of the company's 3D models like the LG LD9900, but it does come with every other feature you can think of. It’s a full LED panel...Read More »

Since the Apple iPad hit the UK on Friday, worldwide sales stand at 2 million in 60 days. But with WiFi and 3G versions available, what should you go for?   Let’s start by saying the iPad is unlike any tablet you’ve used before. The extra real estate the 9.7in screen provides means multitouch gestures, Apple’s excellent UI and the new fast processor work together to create a seamless user experience. In fact going back to your iPhone 3GS is a disappointment because the screen seems so tiny.   Sitting somewhere between a computer and mobile phone,...Read More »

The mobile phone industry's current penchant seems to be to create scaled down, almost nano, versions of popular phones for those mobile connoisseurs who love cool features, and wicked interfaces, but prefer a dinky handset often at a cheaper price. We’ve seen the HTC HD Mini, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and last year in the US Palm launched the Pixi to sit alongside the Pre. Now the Pre has a Pre Plus and the Pixi has finally arrived on O2. Make no mistake, this phone may be smaller...Read More »

The Pico is much more than a mere DAB radio – it’s a multi-talented music epicentre with built-in Wi-Fi, letting you lock into over 11,000 internet radio stations from around the world and stream digital music from PC and MACs on your home network. Not bad, particularly when other companies are selling straight-up DAB radios for the same price. On board is a sensitive DAB tuner that’ll also support DAB+ in countries that have adopted it. You can also pick up old-school FM broadcasts with RDS, while 12 presets provide instant access to favourite stations.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ More on Revo: Revo...Read More »

The Apple iPad finally goes on sale in the UK on Friday, and we can all agree that it's a sensational piece of gadgetry. But when it comes down to doling out £400+ on a tablet there's gotta be a pretty good reason why and, sadly in this day and age, 'it's really cool' isn't going to cut it.   What is the iPad actually for? Why do we need to buy one when our iPhone and iPod touch can do practically everything its larger sibling can? Questions many of you have been flooding our inbox with in recent weeks.   --------------------------------------------------------------------- Related links: -...Read More »
