REVIEW
19 October 2004 0:10 GMT
Tweet
Contrary to the spin on the web, this long expected Freeview receiver is indeed the twin tuner version that was expected. Despite some last minute rumour-mongering, the twin tuner hard drive Freeview box from Thomson is everything you've been hoping for.

A combined USB memory card reader, pen drive and MP3 player, the player is based on Fuji's xD-Picture Card memory card format, and as of which carries no on board memory of its own, but instead relies on an additional (not included) xD card to run.

REVIEW
27 September 2004 16:44 GMT

Samsung SGH-P510 Mobile review
REVIEW
2 August 2004 19:54 GMT

LG C1200 review
REVIEW
1 August 2004 21:38 GMT
Tweet
The LG C1200 didn't strike us as a budget phone, but considering the multi-media heavy handsets surfing the crest of the 2.5G wave, we suppose it is. While bereft of camera and video capture, this lightweight flip is equipped with the standard 65k colour...

REVIEW
30 June 2004 10:09 GMT

REVIEW
30 June 2004 2:46 GMT
