  • Nokia 6700

    28 Jul 2009 1:56 PM

    The Nokia 6700 Classic is not a fancy-pants smartphone, but its high quality, 5-megapixel camera and brilliant screen help make this phone a front-runner in the mid-range market.

    Specs: Candybar , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 170 MB, Numerical keypad , 5-megapixel

    Where to buy? $284 to $449 at 10 stores

  • Sony Ericsson Satio

    01 Oct 2009 12:48 PM

    There are a few trade-offs, but overall we're very impressed. The Satio sports a sharp, responsive touchscreen and is possibly the year's best camera phone.

    Specs: Touchscreen , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA , Touchscreen , microSD , 12-megapixel

    Where to buy? $703 to $839 at 7 stores

    Sony Ericsson Aino

    10 Dec 2009 10:21 AM

    More a jack of all trades than a renaissance man, the Sony Ericsson Aino boasts a gaggle of interesting features and is genuinely good fun.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G , 55 MB, 8-megapixel

    Where to buy? $486 to $629 at 6 stores

  • Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

    11 Dec 2009 10:44 AM

    The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price.

    Specs: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi , 70 MB, microSD , 3-megapixel

    Where to buy? $256 to $339 at 5 stores

  • Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

    24 Mar 2009 2:57 PM

    Nokia may have been late to the touchscreen party but we like what it's finally delivered; a responsive, full-featured phone with some deal-making extras.

    Specs: Touchscreen , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Next G, 3G, HSDPA , 84 MB, Touchscreen , microSD , 3-megapixel

    Where to buy? $314 to $699 at 12 stores

    Sony Ericsson C903

    18 Aug 2009 12:51 PM

    The Sony Ericsson C903 blew our minds with its excellent photo quality. Its plastic-y body and lack of Wi-Fi connectivity reflect its low price, but it performs like a more expensive model.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 105 MB, Numerical keypad , Memory Stick Micro , 5-megapixel

    Where to buy? $13 to $329 at 8 stores

  • 7.4 8

    Sony Ericsson T707

    29 Jul 2009 3:00 PM

    Call us shallow but we like the little T707 for its body, not for its brains. This sexy handset is great at the basics, but lacks any techy extras.

    Specs: Flip , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 100 MB, Numerical keypad , Memory Stick Duo , 2-megapixel

    Where to buy? $205 to $259 at 7 stores

  • 6.0 8

    Nokia 6760 Slide

    16 Dec 2009 2:20 PM

    Awkward design choices spoil an otherwise excellent phone for people who rate messaging features over calling or web browsing.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 3-megapixel

    Where to buy? $388 to $399 at 2 stores

  • Nokia 6720 Classic

    18 Sep 2009 3:58 PM

    With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.

    Specs: Bluetooth, Next G, 3G, HSDPA , 50 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , 5-megapixel

    Where to buy? $284 to $539 at 9 stores

  • Nokia 6710 Navigator

    17 Sep 2009 2:42 PM

    Nokia's third Navigator in the series is the best of the bunch thus far, though its small screen will dissuade many from binning their TomToms for in-car use.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA , 50 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , 5-megapixel

    Where to buy? $435 to $529 at 6 stores
