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.
Nokia E72

Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.
Nokia BH-905

In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.
Nokia 6720 Classic

With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.
Mio A470

As its name suggests, the A470 has a 4.7-inch touchscreen. It also gains Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance, 3D landmarks and text-to-speech.
Mio A350

At AU$199, the Mio A350 is the cheapest brand name GPS around. While it has a 3.5-inch touchscreen, and school and safety camera warnings, you can forget about text-to-speech, Bluetooth, lane guidance and the like.
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.
Nokia X6

Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.
