The wow factor of the MOTOROKR E8's morphing keypad alone is enough to turn heads. Although the lack of 3G may be a deal-breaker for some, this remains a stylish and commendable music handset.

LG's KG290 is an ideal phone for an entry-level user thanks to a decent features list and a compact design.

The SGH-E730's fashionable design, high-resolution camera and Bluetooth features make it a compelling all-round phone package.

The 5300 XpressMusic does a great job at merging an MP3 player with a mobile phone, but you'll have to spring for a larger memory card to use it as an everyday player.

The W220 is a very good offering if you want a handset without the bells and whistles, especially considering the low asking price.

The U100 may not have a generous features list and lacks a memory card slot, but it wows with its design alone. At just 5.9mm thin and a weight of 59g, it really is a stunning piece of industrial design.

The LG KP202's affordable price tag makes it an ideal Christmas gift for the kids. While tech-savvy teens will probably turn their nose up at its limited functionality, the stylish design should see them fairly satisfied.

The F250 is an appealing music handset, especially considering its price. It won’t give you all the bells and whistles of more expensive phones, but it does a solid job regardless.

The MOTO U9 is a nicely designed handset, but given it's marketed as a music phone, the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack is an annoying omission.

Its music player is not as good as we expected, but the Motorola ROKR does have some redeeming features.

The 6230i would suit those looking for a compact business phone with basic multimedia functions.

A decent phone, but serious music listeners would want more memory and faster connectivity options.
