    HTC Tattoo

    10 Nov 2009 3:25 PM

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

    Specs: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) , GPRS, WAP, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA , 3-megapixel , microSD , Android

  • Samsung Ultra S (S7350)

    05 Aug 2009 4:15 PM

    The Ultra S is the best Samsung phone in this price range. Anyone looking for decent phone features and an excellent camera should check out the Ultra S, especially lovers of pink.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 100 MB, Numerical keypad , microSD , 5-megapixel

    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

  • LG Xenon

    14 Jul 2009 5:21 PM

    Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, Next G, 3G, HSDPA , 80 MB, QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 2-megapixel

    HTC Snap

    12 Aug 2009 2:30 PM

    The Snap will appeal to a specific segment of business-minded road warriors who need good messaging but don't want to pay for extras like media or social networking.

    Specs: QWERTY keyboard , Bluetooth, Next G, 3G, HSDPA , 448 MB, QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 2-megapixel

  • Samsung Preston Icon

    01 Sep 2009 10:21 AM

    The Preston has the look of a better handset, but poor call quality spoils an otherwise well-performing budget-priced touchscreen phone.

    Specs: Touchscreen , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , 80 MB, Touchscreen , microSD , 3-megapixel

  • Sony Ericsson W508

    23 Jun 2009 4:14 PM

    The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.

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

    Sony Ericsson Yari

    27 Oct 2009 2:51 PM

    The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.

    Specs: Slider , Bluetooth, 3G, HSDPA , Numerical keypad , microSD , 5-megapixel

  • Nokia E52

    09 Sep 2009 3:12 PM

    At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.

    Specs: Candybar , Bluetooth, 802.11b, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA , 60 MB, QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 3-megapixel

    HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

    24 Mar 2009 12:32 PM

    The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.

    Specs: Candybar , Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA , 128 MB, QWERTY keyboard , microSD , 3-megapixel
