Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz - part 4 (applications and wrap-up)
If you've been following my continuing review of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, you'll know that it has a small but perfectly formed body and a great camera/camcorder, plus a glitzy new homescreen and media suite. But how does it stack up as an overall smartphone, in comparison to devices like the Nokia X6? What about application load-out and compatibility? Here's the final part of my Vivaz review.
Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz - part 3 (home screen and media suite)
If you've been following my continuing review of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, you'll know that it has a small but perfectly formed body and a great camera/camcorder. But what about its new custom homescreen and media suite?
Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz - part 2 (camera and camcorder)
In the second part of his review of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz (here's part 1), Steve Litchfield looks at the Vivaz's unique selling point, its very good camera and camcorder capability.

Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz - part 1 (hardware and first impressions)

Review: Review: Spotify Premium
David Gilson dips into his wallet to subscribe to the tenner-a-month Spotify Premium, giving him streaming and download access to just about all the DRM-ed music he'd ever want from Spotify's servers. Is it ultimately worth it and how good (or limited) is the mobile (S60) client? Find out in David's detailed Spotify Premium review.
Review: TouchCalc Lite
The calculator genre has been a popular one in all handheld and phone ecosystems over the years. Here I look at TouchCalc Lite, a recent addition to the genre explicitly for S60 5th Edition phones. Is there more here than meets the eye?
Review: SMS Chat
David Gilson reviews SMS Chat, an SMS manager application which shows you your text messages in a conversation view, and throws in a lot more features too. If you are tired of the same-old S60 SMS manager and want something new, then read on.
Review: Television
Ewan takes a look at a new 'TV' system for Symbian smartphones, from digital media specialists Makayama. The lawyer in him wants to take the app to task for a misleading name and the consumer in him wants to take it to task for some channel errors and outdate content.
