Reviews

  • Nokia 6700 Slide

    The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.

  • Samsung S6700T

    If you're looking for an inexpensive phone with a nice, simple interface and a decent number of features, you won't be disappointed with the Samsung S6700T.

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

    While it could be argued they're not as robust as in-car sat-navs, these GPS-enabled mobile phones can help you find your bearings when you're on the move.
