Fashion Week is upon us, which means fashionable gadgets are on display. Here are the best-looking phones, cameras, MP3 players and laptops to carry by the catwalk.

Look sharp: the fashion police are on patrol. Rosemount Australian Fashion Week kicks off on April 28 and staggers on in a champagne-addled haze for five long days.

It's models, it's guest lists, it's general fabulousness, but with the achingly trendy rag-trade folk watching your every move, it pays to look a little snazzy.

The key to creating an outfit that screams "Ultra chic, but not in a try-hard way" is in the accessories. To this end, we're showcasing the finest tech accoutrements of recent times -- products that you'd be proud to pull out when sitting front row at the catwalk.

From designer mobile phones to sinfully strokable MP3 players, these gorgeous gadgets look the business, and should appeal to any fashion-focused tech lover. Well, for the next month at least: trends and technology change faster than the models backstage.

    • Nokia N96

      Nokia N96

      It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.

      Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

      An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.

    • HP iPAQ 912c

      The HP iPAQ 912c defines the middle of the road. When you consider its performance versus the price, the 912c is passable but painfully average.

      Most of our complaints about the W980 are purely cosmetic. Looks aside, this latest Walkman works well as both a phone and a dedicated music player, with a substantial 8GB of storage being the icing on the cake.
