For those that don't need 3G or the Pocket Office applications you get with a Windows Mobile 6.0 device then the BlackBerry 8820 is a clear and highly desirable choice.

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.

The K770i is another excellent 3G phone from Sony Ericsson. Its camera isn't outstanding, but the design, look and feel of this handset combined with a slick user interface and a decent features list makes this an excellent phone on the whole.

The K850i is the best camera phone currently available on the market. Although it still doesn't replace a stand-alone digital camera, for a device that you can carry everywhere in your pocket, it does a fine job. It's a shame about the small keypad and squashed controls.

The F159 improves on its predecessor by adding assisted GPS and Telstra's TalkNow service.

The SLVR L7 is an admirable effort by Motorola to provide the same wow factor of the RAZR in a candybar format. A better quality camera and a long awaited update to the user interface and Motorola could well be onto something very special here.

Optimised for mobile TV, the Samsung Widescreen is a solid, if not outstanding, introduction to what the future holds for mobile video content.

The 3500 Classic is compact, stylish and easy to use. If you're after a basic mobile phone containing all of the basics and a little more, this is one of the best options out there.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 updates last year's model in all the right ways and offers more than enough wow without being too flash.

The F165 Country Phone doesn't really look appealing, but looks can be deceiving. In addition to claiming excellent reception in rural areas, the F165 has a sturdy rubber casing and is lightweight.

The E71 is one of the most stylish smartphones on the market. If you can get by with a slightly small display and keyboard, this beast offers plenty of features and grunt.

The Telstra F158 will definitely appeal to tradesmen who require their mobile phone take a beating, but if you look past the ruggedised design, there isn't much else on offer.
