Nokia N97 mini

The N97 mini is better than the original, but not so when compared with smartphones from other manufacturers. Its S60 OS helps the mini feel like an old phone even before it hits the stores.

Nokia C5

The C5 looks like the older Nokias we know and love but with a fresh coat of paint and improved with 3G, A-GPS, maps, memory and the Ovi Store.

Nokia N97 mini

The N97 mini is better than the original, but not so when compared with smartphones from other manufacturers. Its S60 OS helps the mini feel like an old phone even before it hits the stores.
Nokia N79

The Nokia N79 delivers extensive features, performs well and comes with intelligent covers that add something different to the N-Series. Our only real complaint is the slightly flat keypad, but overall we enjoyed using the N79.
Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

There are a few places we can understand that Nokia could skimp on when it comes to a budget handset — build quality and call clarity, however, are not examples of these areas.
LG Watch Phone GD910

The GD910 certainly has wow-factor. It looks like a watch but performs well as a mobile phone cum messenger. Sadly, the high price really dents the appeal of this wonderful gadget.
Nokia N900

What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.
Nokia E72

Nokia E72 is a smartphone with loads of attitude and great features, well-suited for busy business people or anyone looking for a cool piece of technology.
Nokia 6760 Slide

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