HTC Desire S

What’s the big deal?
This phone offers a great smart phone experience with a slick design everyone will love.

Who’s the phone for?
It is a good mid range smart phone offering, so if you're looking to tick those boxes, this is the one for you.

The important stuff…

This device includes:
    Operating system: Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
    Display: 3.7 480 x 800 pixels Touch screen
    CPU: 1 GHz Scorpion processor,
    Memory: 768MB with microSD
    Camera: 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus
    Talk time: Up to 9 h 50 min while on 2G and up to 7 h 10 min  on 3G

Our 2 cents worth…
This is far from the best phone out there, but what it does get right, it does so with flair - like the interface and quick response time. But the screen does not work well in sun light and there are phones with much better cameras.

BlackBerry Bold 9900

What’s the big deal?
Blackberry has enjoyed a phenomenal success in South Africa. This phone boasts to be the best Bold device around.
