  • Apple iPhone 4 Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the Apple iPhone 4 review (We know its a bit late - someone forgot to hit the post button). The iPhone 4 was released in mid 2010 was proper upgrade to the 3GS. The iPhone 4 looks good  and great to hold thus consequently a best sellor. Due to the popularity of the iPhone we really cannot add anything more to the review and comparison world for this phone. It is a lovely phone that does almost everything you want and very simple to use. The software make network connections quickly and the web browser are state of the art when released in 2010. Apart from construction materials which are beyond anything the competition, apart from Vertu or course there are no innovative features in terms of software. The iPhone 4 is not perfect but its is the best there is for the masses when released. Since it is such a great phone here's our opinion and why you should consider another mobile phone: 1 - Micro-SIM makes it incompatible with 99% of other phones for now... 2 - poor voice quality, signal reception and call quality is not good. 3 - its overly expensive despite last generation hardware apart from the screen. 4 - retina display is detailed but has poor color reproduction eg. washed out. 5 - camera still produces fake over saturated pictures. 6 - must look at screen to type. 7 - limited customisation 8 - requires ugly additional case to prevent damage 9 - cannot add more memory 10 - everyone has got one. If you like apps, videos and music with some web browsing than the iPhone is the best there is. Unfortunately thanks to brewing legal action (2010) the company is attempting to get rid of the opposition. Apple didn't invent the phone - they made certainly made it so much better but basing legal action on the shape of phone and their improvements like icon designs is essentially a joke only the US legal system can be put through. I wonder whether they paid Nokia and Motorola which they essentially stole the IP from? Regardless if you can afford the iPhone 4 go for it! However watch out for the Androids... Specifications

  • Telstra Roamer Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the 2012 Telstra Roamer (T116a) review. The Roamer is the latest revision to the candy bar style mobile phone for the masses. It has the essential functions you need for basic  communications and not much more. It's only capable of voice - TXT - MMS - (very limited) email. The Roamer is available as a pre-paid package for under $30! The Telstra Roamer is a great phone for basic use - no more no less. We looked at it for less than a minute and can say it works fine. There are no features which the T116a can boast to be a convincing purchase. However it is relatively over priced because  Nokia,Samsung and other Telstra models have got brilliant phones with more stuff for the same price many with dual SIM and international coverage thanks to additional frequencies for a few dollars more! Eg. Sony-Ericsson Cedar (easily the better phone) can now be purchased for $39 or even $29 dependent on how the physical stores are desperate to clear them. Our conclusion is: avoid the Telstra Roamer T116a unless truly desperate or you want a freebie for a Telstra SIM. Specifications

  • Telstra Uno Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the 2012 Telstra Uno (T12) review page. The Uno is a pre-paid package priced at around $90-100, making it one of the cheapest Android based mobile phone handsets and presumably a replacement for the older Smart Touch series released last year. When these types of low end or base model smart phones where released last year they were a revelation in being very low price and reasonable specification. However 12 months on they are showing many flaws which have made them largely unwanted. The Telstra/ZTE in particular have not invested enough time in optimising the hardware and Android software  resulting in noticeably lower user experience with lags and sluggishness Eg. Telstra Urbane despite the 1Ghz CPU. The Uno is not exempt using a dated Android 2.3 software when the world is up to version 4. In the few minutes we spent with the Uno we where underwhelmed with its construction and operation, preferring the HTC Wildfire S for a mere $20-30 more as a pre-paid package. The HTC Wildfire S easily exceeds the Telstra's Uno construction and user experience. In fact the Wildfire S is a better experience than even the current top range Telstra Urbane. Back to the UNO - expect the Uno's price to around the $50 mark in a few months and see if you are still interested.. Specifications
