Best touchscreen mobile phones

In the good old days we'd let our fingers do the walking when using the Yellow Pages. These days our fingers do a lot more with our mobile phones.

Want to work on the move but don't want to lug a laptop? You'll need a smartphone that lets you do email, open business documents and browse the web.

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.
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.
O2 Xda Atom Exec

An incremental upgrade to the Atom, the Atom Exec is an incredibly feature-rich, well-designed smartphone.

SiteAdvisor is an easy-to-use and intuitive browser plug-in that identifies Web sites that might offer spyware-infected downloads and might spam their registered users.
Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

If you need a midlevel Web site design app, Microsoft FrontPage 2003 is a good choice, but professionals should use Macromedia Dreamweaver instead.
