Typical – you wait months for one long-anticipated smartphone, and then two turn up at once. We’ve just seen the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and now here’s the RIM BlackBerry Storm.

After all the speculation about what form RIM’s answer to the iPhone might take, it’s good to actually see the Storm in the flesh – or at least plastic and brushed aluminium. The good news is that despite dropping the keyboard in favour of a huge capacitive touch-screen, the Storm works as well as any other BlackBerry smartphone – as our hands-on video shows.

We’ve had to wait a while for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 – despite being announced way back in February, this Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone only recently went on sale. And then promptly sold out.

We’ve finally managed to get our hands on one though, so if you were holding off your next smartphone purchase until you could learn more about eh Xperia X1, this is what you’ve been waiting for. Or not, as you’ll see from our hands-on video…

Netbook reviews get easier with each new model. With manufacturers all playing copycat when it comes to specifications, there isn’t much to say beyond commenting on what a new netbook looks like and how long it lasts on battery power.

That’s certainly the case with the LG X110. Not only does it have the same specification as every other netbook we’ve seen, it’s actually just a rebadged MSI Wind U100. But hold on a minute – there is one subtle difference in the shape of a SIM card slot tucked behind the battery. Yes, this is only the second netbook to be launched in the UK with a built-in 3G modem – here’s our first impressions video.

It may have been on sale since the end of October, but a “limited supply of review units” (always an interesting concept when applied to a mass-market consumer product that’s launched worldwide) has meant that we’ve had to wait a few weeks to get a T-Mobile G1 for review. Still, it’s here now, so in the time-honoured tradition, here’s a first-impressions video prior to our full review.

HTC looks set to break the record for Most Smartphones Launched by a Single Manufacturer with the arrival of the Touch HD. Long anticipated for its large, high resolution screen, it doesn’t disappoint – well, at least for a Windows Mobile 6.1 device. One arrived in the Mobile Computer office a couple of days ago and as is the tradition, we’ve shot a hands-on video to give our first impressions to tide you over until we publish the full review in a day or so – watch it after the cut.

Now that Toshiba has launched a netbook of its own (the NB100 – look out for a review shortly), there aren’t many big-name laptop manufacturers left without a netbook in their line-up. And you can now cross Samsung off the list – its new NC10 just arrived in the Mobile Computer office and so we’ve shot a short video to give our first impressions.

Toshiba is one of the last laptop manufacturers to launch a netbook, but it has finally caved and the NB100 will be on sale at the end of October in the UK. As far as netbooks go, the NB100 is one of a handful that actually embrace the concept fully, in that it’s small, light and cheap.

We got to spend some time with a pre-production model and made a video of our first impressions – after the cut.

HP has announced two new Windows Mobile smartphones today – the iPaq Voice Messenger and Data Messenger. HP is pitching the smartphones at two different markets and the iPaq Voice Messenger is aimed at users who need a phone first; the iPaq Data Traveller is pitched at people looking for a more traditional smartphone.

Although the design of each smartphone is different, specifications are largely the same – more photos, full specifications and our hands-on video after the cut.

When we compared web browser speed on the Apple iPhone and RIM BlackBerry Bold back in August, little did we realise that our test had one or two problems that rendered it invalid. We’ve been trying to arrange a repeat test ever since then, with no success. Until now.

The reason we ran the test in the first place (we seldom bother comparing smartphone web browser speeds) was because the BlackBerry Bold seemed very slow at rendering web pages over both 3G and Wi-Fi – even compared to the iPhone over EDGE. While our initial test was flawed (thanks to a flaky Wi-Fi connection), other Bold owners repeated it and many also found it to be slow.

Still, we weren’t able to rest until we could repeat the test ourselves and so that’s what we’ve (finally) done – after the cut.

We’ve had to wait a little while for a Samsung Omnia i900 review unit and as a result, our thoughts on this new Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 smartphone aren’t as fresh as we’d like.

Given Samsung's marketing blitz for this smartphone, we think it's still worth reviewing though (it's not like you care what any other websites say, right..?), and as usual, we’ve started with a hands-on video to give an overview of the Omnia's main features – after the cut.
