The Graphite is suitable for those looking for the footprint of a regular mobile phone with the functionality of a smart phone. However, this compromise in design results in not being able to use the smart features to their full potential.

The Zinc isn't faultless but is an option worth considering for anyone looking for a smart phone for plenty of emails. A good keyboard and plenty of features make this a solid, if not outstanding option.

Motorola's first ever slider phone is a solid, but not outstanding mobile phone. The MOTORIZR offers a well balanced set of features for a pretty good price, but there is nothing new or unique about this handset.

The W880i is quite simply an outstanding mobile phone. A lack of FM radio and small controls isn't enough to detract from the overall class and quality of this unit.

Considering the price tag and the age of the unit, the Hip Top 2 is a pretty solid device. While the quality of the screen, bulky design and lack of connectivity will be a big negative for some, those looking for a device to IM and SMS on will love this phone.

The Samsung A501 is a solid, but far from outstanding HSDPA-capable phone. While its compact size may be an advantage, outdated specifications in key areas mean that the A501 isn't able to fully immerse you in the Next G experience as it should.

A solid but not outstanding smart phone, the i320N is lacking in a few key specifications, most notably the lack of 3G support and slower Bluetooth and USB interfaces.

The S705 SoundPilot is convenient if you want a hands free unit capable of wirelessly streaming music via Bluetooth. It's not cheap though and the sound quality isn't outstanding.

The Nokia N91 8GB is a top notch music phone with a massive 8GB hard drive, but improvements over the previous model are limited. As a mobile phone the N91 8GB does include some good features but is let down by a cramped keypad and slow interface.

The rugged design of the Nokia 5140i will handle the rough and tumble of outdoor adventures or even just everyday life. If you want a phone that can go the distance and don't need bluetooth this is a contender.

The Dopod S301 is definitely something different, even if it doesn't include Wi-Fi. If you are looking for a compact smart phone that's stylish yet still packed with most features, then this may fit the bill.

Nokia's 6288 performs well as a phone, has a great display and stylish design, however the slider does not feel sturdy.
