The Bad
To early to say as this product is still on pre-order and we’ve yet to get our hands on it, but its tipped to be a hot selling mobile phone this year.

Spy Verdict
If you are looking for an all rounder phone with some nice special features that includes a great HD camera, MP3 player and a touch screen with an OS that is easily customized then this is a great phone choice to go for. If you are looking for Internet access on the move will then this will be more expensive, Unless you have access to Wifi in hotels, cafes etc. We think this will be a very popular phone for 2010 and you’ll see more HD camera phones coming soon.

The iPhone has been the must have gadget since its release, with so many great features, and hundreds of thousands of apps you can get for the smart phone is brilliant. However with all these apps and using the phone for a gaming device or GPS can drain the battery life. The last thing you want is for your battery to die when you’re in the middle of sending a critical e-mail or you using the phone GPS for directions to get where you need to be. Well this is where the MiLi Power Pack comes and saves the day. It’s a battery pack with protection built in.

The Good

It also has a protective hard case with soft touch high glossy finish so not only protects your iPhone but gives it extra boost.

Its stylish and blends well with the phone and although it does add the obvious extra weight and bulk, it is a great accessory and a must have for heavy iPhone users.
