Reader Opinion
Excellent Funky & Handy. Love it..love it..love it. Can't get enough of it. It even has this Video DJ, Music DJ and all the fun stuff. Got it from Optus and paying $25 a month for the phone. You just got to have one!

Sony Ericsson W550i

Sony Ericsson's second Walkman, the W550i, is a swivel phone due later this year that doubles as an MP3 player and a games console that can be played horizontally, vertically or L-shaped.

Reader Opinion
This phone has got it all, maybe it has no expandible memory but who needs that when you already have 516mb built in memory. The camera may only be 1.3 megapixels but its quality is amazing and pictures look more like they have been taken on the older model which has a 2 mega pixel camera, i recommend this product to any phone lovers...

O2 Xda Atom

The Xda Atom has Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, yet shares the same dimensions as the Xda II Mini.

Reader Opinion
Processor too slow, battery life poor. We have been trialing this unit and find that the battery life is worse than the XDAII. Suffers similar lock ups to the XDAII, and short page freezes. Look it is a nice unit but I thought they would have fixed these issues.

Sony Ericsson W900i

Only days after announcing its P990i smart phone, Sony Ericsson has unveiled a 3G Walkman handset that music lovers might be putting at the top of their wish lists this Christmas.

Reader Opinion
Remember it is very bulky - but it's not just a phone. It's a music centre, video & camera + 3G. I have an LG which is bulky - but I'm used to it. So bulky phones don't worry me & they are more robust! Nice phone

O2 Xda II Mini

If you want a smart phone but want to avoid unsightly pocket bulges, you could do well to consider O2's slimmed down XDA II mini.

Reader Opinion
Not perfect, but pretty damn good. It's the most useful mobile device I've owned - and there's been plenty in the past 15 years. Main complaint is having to reboot everytime I want to check my email. It took some getting used to, but it's brilliant when it's firing properly.
