So, just how much smartphone does R1 899 buy you? If the phone in question is the Lumia 520, the answer is rather a lot. The fifth device in the

Unfortunately, Hewlett-Packard’s Elitepad 900 fails to live up to that promise because of a lack of processing clout, a hefty price tag and the need for

For many die-hard BlackBerry users, the Q10 – not the Z10 released earlier this year – is the phone they’ve been waiting for. The Q10 is a strange beast. It offers a physical Qwerty keyboard and a square touch display in the age of the all-touch rectangle. And, despite its jaw-dropping price tag of R8 999, the Q10
