    HTC Tattoo

    If you want an affordable Android smartphone, the Tattoo will fit the bill. Power users should look elsewhere.

    Virgin VMX

    24 Aug 2009 4:34 PM

    The VMX is a phone with many shortcomings, but most of these are outweighed by the AU$99 price tag. For most people who just need the basics, the VMX will do the trick.

    Specs: Candybar , Bluetooth, 3G , Numerical keypad , microSD , 2-megapixel

  • LG Crystal GD900

    We love the clear touchpad, both for its good looks and intuitive gestures, and we think the Crystal makes a good mobile phone. Shame its camera is a stinker.

    Specs: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA , 1500 MB, QWERTY keyboard, Touchscreen , microSD , 8-megapixel

    Samsung S6700T

    16 Nov 2009 3:11 PM

    If you're looking for an inexpensive phone with a nice, simple interface and a decent number of features, you won't be disappointed with the Samsung S6700T.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, Next G, 3G, HSDPA , 110 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , 3-megapixel

  • HTC Dream

    We're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features; however, the Google Android platform has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful.

    Nokia WH-500 hands-free headset

    27 Feb 2009 11:46 AM

    Nokia's WH-500 is a decent, if expensive, hands-free headset, but we wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for a set of good sounding headphones.

    Specs: Headset

  • Nokia E75

    13 May 2009 1:05 PM

    Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSDPA , 50 MB, Numerical keypad, QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 3-megapixel

  • Motorola EM330

    23 Dec 2008 11:10 AM

    It is yet another clamshell phone from yet another phone company. So what sets this mobile phone apart from the others? Not much.

    Specs: Flip , Bluetooth , 30 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , 2-megapixel

  • Samsung E2510

    06 May 2009 2:45 PM

    Looking for a phone for well under $100? Samsung's E2510 makes excellent calls and is easy to use, but you can forget about the extra trimmings on this one.

    Specs: Flip , Bluetooth , 15 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , VGA

  • Aigo aiPower

    20 Jul 2009 5:05 PM

    The aiPower is built well and works as advertised, but its awkward design means you'll likely detach the unit as soon as your iPhone battery is replenished.

    Specs: Other
