Excellent. I'd been hoping we'd get a review of these from you (following on from your previous round up). I've had my Pulsar 590a headhones for a while now and though I'm not happy with the over...

Eh? With a decent pair of BT 2.0 headphones you aren't going to get your MP3/WMA/AAC's etc. further compressed between device and 'phones. Certainly don't on mine.

I'm always amazed that you have to pay for incoming calls. We don't in the UK, and frankly it seems absurdly unfair. You can control who you phone, but you can't control who phones you, as this...

It is *possible* that they actually meant there was no room for a tri-band WCDMA radio (for HSDPA) and so didn't think there was any point in enabling the 850 GSM band. Perhaps they only did so on...

I'd say so yes. I wouldn't want to 'type' on it while flat on a desk, but it rests nicely and the facets on the back hold it steady enough.



I look at it this way - though thicker, the Touch...
