The Bold is by far the best BlackBerry yet and has very few flaws. A refreshing new interface, outstanding display and reasonable multimedia features are just some of what it has to offer. Most importantly, this superb device is great for both enterprise users and regular consumers.

Although it has a reasonable price tag, the JAMA 101 is simply missing too many features. The lack of 3G and physical keyboard will force most users to give it a miss.

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.

The Treo Pro is Palm’s most stylish smartphone yet. Good looks, ease of use and the latest features make this a well-rounded choice.

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.

Samsung certainly deserves credit for the i200's design. This smartphone is compact and easy to use, but the lack of Wi-Fi and GPS will force many users to look elsewhere. Overall, the i200 is a credible but certainly not inspiring handset.

Samsung’s second smartphone to be released on Telstra’s Next G network, the i617T improves on its predecessor but remains let down by the lack of Wi-Fi.

The Omnia is Samsung’s attempt at pushing Windows Mobile as far into the background as possible, but it’s certainly not perfect. With more tweaking to the TouchWIZ interface and a bit more speed, this could potentially knock the iPhone off its perch. As it stands though, it's an admirable handset without being outstanding.
