  • Nokia N79

    The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features, performs well and comes with intelligent covers that add something different to the N-Series. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad, but overall we enjoyed using the N79.

    Specs: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSDPA , Candybar , 50 MB, Numerical keypad

  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (iPhone)

    The success of a GTA port for the iPhone was always going to rest on the implementation of good controls. Rockstar has quite a ways to go before it masters this aspect on the iPhone platform.

    Specs: DS, PSP

  • Samsung S3650 Corby

    The Corby is excellent value, matching a very usable touchscreen mobile with a bargain bin price tag. If you're spending under AU$200, the Corby should be on your list to compare.

    Specs: Bluetooth, USB , Touchscreen , 50 MB, Touchscreen

  • Google Nexus One

    Google's Nexus One may not be the iPhone killer, but it offers a comparable alternative to Apple's smartphone.

    Specs: GPRS, WAP, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) , microSD , Android

  • Samsung Star

    Samsung's Star is an ideal budget phone for those wanting to dip their toes in the touchscreen pool but experienced users will find limitations.

    Specs: Touchscreen , 85 MB, Touchscreen , microSD

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz

    The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a great looking touchscreen smartphone with HD video recording to sweeten the deal.

    Specs: GPRS, WAP, UMTS, HSDPA , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) , microSD , Symbian

  • INQ Chat 3G

    The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.

    Specs: Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 100 MB, QWERTY keyboard , microSD

  • HTC HD2

    There's no doubt in our minds that the combination of power, features and good looks make the HTC HD2 the best Windows Mobile smartphone ever made.

    Specs: GPRS, WAP, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) , microSD , Windows Mobile
