Nokia E66 Slider Review: Thin slider without QWERTY, Symbian feels slow
The Nokia E66 is a slim but luxurious GSM slider smartphone running Symbian S60, with Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and a 3.2MP camera, to name a few of its many features.
The Good: Calls on the phone are loud and clear both directions. Thin form factor and grippy textured back make it enjoyable to hold. Got a decent flash camera that takes sharp pictures and video.Wi-Fi and 3G load fast in the browser.
The Bad: Symbian doesn’t feel very fast. Apps and options are buried deep in menus. Displaysn non-optimized pages in actual size so it’s hard to navigate the screen
The Bottomline: It’s good, but it’s not $500 good, especially without a qwerty. Read more

Share ThisAxiotron ModBook Reviewed: First Mac Tablet has impressive engineering, but too heavy
An impressive feat of engineering, the ModBook from Axiotron is the first tablet for Mac users. The ModeBook is well-constructed but lacks a keyboard and rotating screen orientation, said to be most basic function a tablet should have.
The good: Ingenious design. Marrying slate tablet to bottom half of a stock MacBook. Built-in GPS. Wacom digitizer for accurate input.
The bad: Screen is stuck in landscape mode. Very heavy. Big premium over original MacBook cost. Shorter battery life than the MacBook. Sending e-mail is a challenge.
The bottom line: The engineering behind Axiotron’s Tabletized MacBook is simply impressive but the target audience is likely very small, especially since Windows-based convertible tablets do so much more.
Price: Starting at $2,279
