Polycom IP335 review
Posted on 29-JUN-2010 15:51 Commentscomments
I’ve played with a large number of IP phones over the last few years and have always been impressed by Polycom’s range of IP phones. Polycom have dominated the audio and video conferencing market for a number of years due to their high quality products and have established a huge following in the VoIP market in recent years....

Do you still remember XT's catastrophic failures? Were you one of those that rushed onto Slingshot mobile's hot offer for: * A FREE Nokia 2730 3G phone (valued at $199) * FREE monthly access for 12 months (normally $20/month) * 20 FREE calling minutes, and 100 FREE TXT messages EVERY month Were y...

As an iPhone user, I have been looking in the past few days at Vodafone NZ's iPhone plans (specifically the iPhone $40 plan), and decided to look at Telecom XT's offerings to make a more informed decision. I have ignored 2 Degrees at this stage simply because their 3G network has not yet formally la...

As I posted earlier on Geekzone, Warehouse Stationery leaked the pricing for 2degrees' mobile broadband modem packs. However, I've also delved a little deeper into Warehouse Stationery's to find a bit of their 3G handset lineup too! Here they are: Acer Smartphone BE130 - $450 Correction: it is ...

It's a hot selling point for broadband. Take the most popular sites (such as TradeMe, Stuff, TVNZondemand as examples) that people visit and let them go at it, all-you-can-eat, without having to worry what the final bill will be. The forums here on Geekzone have plenty of discussions around ISPs o...

It seems my previous posts on the iPad 3G coverage in New Zealand have hit something - a lot of people thought I was supporting one network operator or another. Not at all - it's just to let people know where they would get more from their new mobile device and why. I urge people to read the first ...

In a previous blog post I explained where you can get 3G coverage for your new iPad in New Zealand. Because the images I sourced had different resolutions I had to post one map for Telecom New Zealand and multiple maps for Vodafone New Zealand. A reader sent me in a single large image showing sid...

Everyone heard about the Hell Pizza database leak, but what is only now showing up in the media is a story that seems to be developing for more than twelve months. Back in August 2009 some Geekzone users reported receiving spam on email addresses used only with Hell Pizza's online ordering system. ...

Being an active Geekzone member, I come across many instances of people being unhappy with the service or product they have received. Many of these stories end up being resolved either through a Tweet to the company concerned or a message on Facebook. It's quite funny how many "complaints" are Twe...

The Apple iPad was launched today and I've seen some comments on Twitter about 3G coverage. First thing to understand where you will get 3G coverage is to know which "type" of 3G the iPad can "see". The Apple iPad (first generation) works on 850 MHz and 2100 MHz WCDMA bands. We have two mobile oper...
