Phone Reviews


Many people ask me why I don't review more phones, but the truth is that I don't have any official access to phones for testing purposes. The phones you see reviewed on this page have either been purchased outright, or I borrowed them from individuals. More often than not I rely on the generosity of fellow phone enthusiasts to lend me their hardware. If you own a phone you'd like to see me review, please contact me at pbexteme@gmail.com, and thanks in advance.

For a list of phones broken down by technology (GSM, CDMA, TDMA, iDEN) click here.

Before reading any of these reviews, please read Some Thoughts on Reviewing Phones.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT ask the following question: Have you reviewed or do you have any information about phone xxxx? If I've reviewed a phone, that review is online. If there is no review of the phone you are interested in, then I haven't tested it and I won't have any information to pass along to you.

For now however, here are the phones which I have reviewed:
