The iPhone 3G improves on its predecessor, refining its strengths and eliminating some of its flaws. On the way, however, it picked up a few more flaws. Exchange and MobileMe support are appealing, but poor battery life and substandard GPS implementation will deter some people.

If you want to love this much-hyped gadget, you'll find plenty to drool over. The iPhone is expensive and comes with some major drawbacks, but it's hard to be patient once you've seen one - the future of mobile devices is here and it's called an iPhone.

The P750 won’t turn many heads, but it will provide you with a fair list of features and the bundled window mount for navigation is a bonus.

The M530w is a competent, if not outstanding smartphone with a reasonable features list. It doesn't wow, but handles most jobs with a minimum of fuss.

The 3G capable P735 is well worth considering provided you can do without a built in keyboard. ASUS bundles some excellent applications, combined with a fast processor and good build quality.

It's amazing that Dopod has managed to fit so many features into such a compact smartphone. You need to pay extra for mapping software, so the P800W is far from a cheap investment, but for some, the all-in-one convenience makes it worthwhile.

The 595 sets a new standard for smartphones, proving that high-end features and a fashionable form factor aren't mutually exclusive.

The Dopod S301 is definitely something different, even if it doesn't include Wi-Fi. If you are looking for a compact smart phone that's stylish yet still packed with most features, then this may fit the bill.

If you can live without a slide out QWERTY keyboard, the D810 is an excellent option for those after a HSDPA smart phone. Sleek, stylish yet still packed with features, it comes highly recommended, although price is steep.

The iPAQ 612c offers a fairly impressive list of features and bundles them to form a reasonable device. The lack of HP software is disappointing and the scroll wheel could use some work, but there is plenty to like about this handset on the whole.

HP’s iPAQ 912 Business Messenger certainly boasts plenty of features, but falls slightly short of many offerings from competitors. The lack of included navigational software combined with a small display may turn some users elsewhere.

This is a top-notch organiser, but it does leave room for improvement. The software and bundle is solid, but some minor issues keep the device from shining.
