Epson Stylus Office TX610FW

The Epson Stylus Office TX610FW meets the needs of businesses and home-offices shopping for a competent, dependable all-in-one device. Whether it's printing, faxing, copying or scanning, this Epson is a cut above the competition.
INQ Chat 3G

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.
Nokia E52

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.
BlackBerry Curve 8520

With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.
HTC Snap

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.
Skype 4.1 beta

Skype's new screen-sharing feature is a clever addition to the VoIP communications application. The new beta also sees birthday reminders reinstated, a favourite feature of past builds.
Nokia E63

Like its older brother, the E71, the E63 will make an excellent messaging phone, but is for people who need to be connected without the tech trimmings.
3 INQ1

There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.
