It seems every phone these days is marked as a ‘touch’ responsive handset, but few live up to the hype. The U900 packs its fair share of features, works well and ultimately does the job.

$849RRP?

The website says $699RRP for the U900, and you can get them for under $500.

I recommend the Samsung Omnia, which I am looking forward to getting one hopefully in September via 3. Otherwise wait for the HTC Touch Diamond "PRO" which is the next version up that has better battery life and a mini SD Slot.

It certainly looks slick but for me I think the i900 will steal alot of its sales. Which doesn't make sense since its a Samsung Phone too

Well, like many it looks fine, but will it solve my problem of spurious text messages like a flip phone will. My Nokia lives in my pocket and sometimes if the keypad isn't locked sends up to 5 garbage text messages to the first person in my phonebook.
The obvious "Lock the damn keypad" obviously isn't foolproof, because it keeps happening.
Slick is nice, bells and whistles ok; but it's products that solve problems that rule!

Anything with an "i" at the start has an instant market thanks to the subliminal messages in all those tracks you download from iTunes.;)

Navman or TomTom? We tested the best selling units in a head to head battle to see which would get us home faster and with less hassle.

Far Cry 2 the review - unflinchingly brutal

Average User Rating 3

Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict in a war-torn African nation.
