The K550i isn't without its faults, but for this price you certainly get good value for money.

The Vodafone 1210 is an excellent and cost effective way to dive into the world of mobile email. It doesn't offer the same bells and whistles as most other smart phones on the market, but it is considerably cheaper than devices with similar functionality.

The E61i is a minor and mostly cosmetic upgrade to the E61, but it remains a fantastic smart phone overall.
