A very decent smartphone that is made particularly useful by its Push E-mail support.

The mother of all smartphones, this monster has a large price tag to match its large dimensions

The MIO A701 is a jack of all trades device designed to replace your mobile phone, GPS unit and PDA. Sporting a touch screen but no keypad, the versatile A701 also boasts a 1.3 megapixel camera and both MP3 and video players.

The A1000 is a fantastic smartphone if you're looking for multimedia playback; it's responsive and features top-notch audio and video. Just don't expect to enter huge amounts of text into it.

While O2 has impressed us in the past, the XDA Atom fails to live up to its potential. A small form factor and inbuilt Wi-Fi support fail to compensate for slow processing performance

The O2 XDA IIi keeps many of the features we liked in the earlier model, while also boosting processing power.

The Xphone II bundles lots of features into a compact, sleek design. It would suit phone users needing basic organiser capabilities, but those wanting more comprehensive PDA features should stick to the Xda range.

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

The Nokia 7710 will appeal to the multimedia buffs, but if you intend on making a lot of calls, this heavy unit might not be for you.

It lacks a camera or Wi-Fi support, but makes up for it with its compact design.

The Atom Exec on its own is an excellent and compact smart phone packed full of features. If you already own the original, it's not worth an upgrade, but otherwise, this comes highly recommended.

The JAMA 201 boasts an excellent design and the keyboard and controls make it a pleasure to use, but the lack of features will turn many away.
