The Sony Ericsson T707 was put under the microscope over the past few weeks. The device, which comes in three colours, is using its pulsating lights as a key selling point but would that be enough to survive Villa81’s scrutiny?
Verdict: 8 out of 10. It’s more than just a light show, it’s a very good [...]
Villa81 put the iPhone 3Gs through its paces over the past few weeks. Apple’s baby was given a thorough examination as I went to lengths not normally required of Villa81 staff to see just what this phone could do.
