Motorola MOTO U9
Motorola's MOTO U9 would look the part sliding out of a tote bag in an inner city bar, but out of place on the boardroom table. The sleek, smooth finish houses a basic mobile with only a few common phone features.
Motorola MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone 
For people who need an in-car hands-free speakerphone the MOTOROKR T505 will certainly do the job. It looks good and couldn't be simpler to use.
LG KF510
The cheap and cheerful KF510 is a good-looking phone, but its interactive disco buttons don't make for a pleasant texting experience.
Samsung U900
Samsung's official phone of the Olympic games may not look especially sporty, but HSDPA, lag-free performance, and its great 5-megapixel camera help get the U900 out of the blocks and over the line.
Nokia 6220 Classic
Playing on the brunette-stereotype, the Nokia 6220 Classic is a 3G smartphone that transcends its demure looks with pragmatic appeal, a stand-out 5MP camera and assisted-GPS.
LG KF600
Are two screens better than one? The KF600's morphing touch-navigation pad is a cool concept and adds a little high-end class to an otherwise low-spec handset.
LG Secret (KF750)
Though its teeny selection key can be a bit of a nuisance, the Secret has some winning features, including one of the best 5-megapixel cameras we've encountered on a phone.
Motorola ROKR E8
The ROKR E8 looks to be Motorola's stab at the iPhone killer, with a morphing touchscreen display and media focused features.
Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)
While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
Motorola MOTOROKR EQ3 Compact Folding Speaker
For a low-cost mobile speaker kit, the EQ3 worked as well as we expected, and for the money, offers a decent speaker kit for a caravan or small bedroom.
Jabra SP5050
The Jabra SP5050 is a good choice for those who want a basic and affordable Bluetooth speakerphone.
Jabra BT3010
The Jabra BT3010 is a playful Bluetooth headset with plenty of cover design options at an affordable price, if you can look past its flaws.
Sony Ericsson W760i
The W760i is a solid performer, and we've found it hard to fault this handset during our tests. Yet, with strong competition hot on its heels, the W760i falls short of bowling us over.
Motorola MOTOROKR EQ5 Portable Wireless Speaker
The Motorola EQ5 portable wireless speakers aren't perfect but they're a solid accompaniment to a Motorola Rokr E8 mobile phone.
Nokia N78
The Nokia N78 is a fun phone to use, and despite some annoyances it's likely to find fans in those looking for a feature-filled Apple alternative.
Nokia 3120 classic
The budget 3120 classic packs a decent set of features without compromising on looks.
LG KF700
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
BlackBerry 8707g
The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.
BlueAnt Supertooth 3
The BlueAnt Wireless Supertooth 3 is an excellent choice for a portable car speakerphone, especially since it will read out incoming caller ID so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Samsung SBH700 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Samsung's Bluetooth stereo headset has a sporty look, but fails to cross the finish line properly.

Enterprises looking to deploy a rugged, versatile mobile device will be impressed by the Motorola MC75's range of features. However, you pay a premium for smartphone functionality in a hardened form; this phone is not only tough, it is massive to the point of being unwieldy.
-
Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.

Unless you have a great deal of patience and very steady hands or a love of monkeys, bananas and falling off high surfaces, this game is not for you.
-
While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

Motorola RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition
There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.
