Reviews

  • HTC Touch

    While not a iPhone killer, the HTC Touch represents good value for money. If you can do without 3G support or a high-res camera, then the Touch will offer most features you'd require from a smartphone.

  • O2 Xda Flame

    The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.

  • O2 Xda Atom Life

    The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.

  • Nokia 6151

    It's certainly not the thinnest or flashiest phone around, but if you value long talks, the odd happy snap and occasional Web browsing, the price is certainly right.

  • O2 Graphite

    O2's latest phone combines many of the features of a PDA with the latest in mobile phone technology including 3G support, push e-mail and video conferencing all in a conventional looking handset.

  • O2 Xda Zinc

    With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.

  • O2 Xda Stealth

    O2's Xda Stealth looks a lot like a regular slider phone, until you flick it open and notice the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, push e-mail capabilities and built-in Wi-Fi support.

  • Samsung Z540

    Stylish design, a slim form factor, zippy performance, and great ergonomics help make the Z540 shine.
