  Garmin Nuvi 1450T

  Impressively thin, the Garmin Nuvi 1450T doesn't do much that excites us, but it's a solid and easy-to-use GPS with a huge 5-inch screen.

• 

  Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

  Sony Ericsson's pebble-like X10 mini will find fans in those looking for something unique, but we wonder about its lasting appeal and how widespread this appeal could be.

• 

  Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro

  The Xperia X10 mini pro will take up less space in your pant's pockets than the big daddy X10, but the addition of a full-QWERTY keyboard should attract texters to this pint-sized marvel.

• 

  Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50

  The nuvifone's Linux heritage can be seen in the M50, an Android nuvifone that certainly doesn't skimp in the navigation department.

• 

  LG GT540

  LG's GT540 could change the way we think about smartphones if it manages to bring it to Australia as a prepaid handset, and could help to raise the awareness of Android at the same time.

• 

  Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

  Update: we take the X10 in our own hands and walk away impressed. The software is fast and the X10 gives off an air of sophistication unlike any Android phone before it.

• 

  HTC Legend

  Chiselled out of a single block of metal, the HTC Legend makes up for its lack of specs with good looks rarely seen in touchscreen devices of late.

• 

  HTC Desire

  HTC sets the bar high for the competition with a handset that truly lives up to its name. The Desire packs a punch with solid hardware and class-leading smartphone software.

• 

  Motorola Backflip

  The Motorola Backflip serves up Google's Android with a few intriguing design twists. It sports a full QWERTY keyboard housed on the underside of the phone and a touch-sensitive trackpad positioned behind the screen.

• 

  Garmin Voice Studio

  Ever fancied giving yourself directions? Well you can. If you own a Garmin Nuvi GPS navigator, that is.

• 

  Garmin ecoRoute HD wireless dongle

  No word yet on Australian availability, but Garmin's ecoRoute HD dongle and firmware looks like good value for eco-champs and car geeks.

• 

  Motorola Milestone

  The Milestone handles online tasks as well as any other smartphone and its excellent performance makes it a pleasure to use.

• 

  LG GW620

  LG's first foray in the world of Google's Android appears to have a few hits and misses. The QWERTY keyboard is nice and DivX compatibility is welcome, but the older version of the OS will turn many away.

• 

  Garmin Nuvi 5000

  It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.

• 

  Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700)

  On the surface the Spica looks like a very competent smartphone, but we're beginning to expect a lot more from manufacturers that take on Google's OS.

• 

  Garmin Nuvi 1390T

  There's nothing particularly flash about it, but the 1390T is a solid and dependable choice, with traffic, lane guidance, Aussie and NZ maps, and Bluetooth hands-free amongst its features.

• 

  Motorola Dext

  Motorola has taken the wraps off its first Android-based smartphone and its exciting new Motoblur user interface. Can the Dext bring Motorola back from the brink?

• 

  Samsung Galaxy Icon

  While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

• 

  Garmin Nuvi 265WT

  With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.

• 

  Kogan Agora Pro

  The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.
