The HTC Touch Dual 850 sports a QWERTY keyboard rather than the standard nine-key layout. An improved TouchFLO interface, HSDPA capabilities over Telstra's Next G network and a fast processor combine to make this an excellent smartphone.

The Nokia N95 8GB has taken most of the things we like about the N95 and carefully refined them. While some flaws remain, it is a handsomely crafted device packed with plenty of wonderful features.

The i-Mate is a rather large and bulky unit, but it does have a pretty good list of features and functions without any major problems.

The O2 is a good option for business consumers who want the convenience of a phone integrated with their PDA.

If you are looking for a smart phone, but prefer its size to be in line with a regular mobile, then you can't go past the N80. It offers a number of excellent features packaged in a sleek design and is only let down by a poor battery life.

The hiptop gets a new coat of paint but no new features. It remains a very user-friendly device with some nice features, but multimedia buffs will be disappointed.

If you don’t consider a QWERTY keyboard a necessity, then the E66 is one of the best smartphones on the market. It combines a stylish design with the latest features and it is a breeze to use.

Unlike its predecessor, the N96 isn't revolutionary but it remains a reasonable upgrade to the N95. It’s expensive and the DVB-H feature is useless in Australia, but as a multimedia device it is one of the better mobile phones on the market.

The HTC Dream build quality is okay, and you need to be very wary of the dataplan small print, but Google Android and its myriad apps make the T-Mobile G1 a winner.

For heavy text input, the Touch Pro is a much better option than its little brother, the Touch Diamond. There are still plenty of issues, but the sluggish interface has been slightly improved, and removable storage is a welcome addition.
