Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

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.

HTC Hero

With excellent web browsing, email and access to apps, the HTC Hero is one of the few mobiles to truly challenge the iPhone this year.

Reviews

  • HTC Tattoo

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

  • Samsung Galaxy Icon

    While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

  • Samsung Omnia Icon

    Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.

  • HTC Touch Diamond2

    If you're prepared to manage the memory and train yourself to use the keyboard, then there are few WiMo phones sexier than the Diamond2.

  • HTC Magic

    Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8900

    We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.

  • HTC Dream

    Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

    The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.
