If you are after a stylish handset for chatting and are less worried about the bells and whistles working their way into current mobile phones, the Samsung SGH-X460 is a top-notch choice.

The Z500 will be welcome to news to long suffering 3G consumers, who have until now had to put up with bulky sized phones.

The K750i has an impressive features list and is highly recommended, but those who value MP3 playback would be better off with the Sony Ericsson W800i.

The W800i contains a vast array of features and is highly recommended for anyone looking to purchase a new mobile handset.

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.

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

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.

The Z800i is an excellent 3G phone with an exceptional external screen, but a disappointing camera and a poorly designed keypad.

Unless you are particularly enamoured with the idea of Push To Talk, we would recommend a phone with more features and better controls.

If you can get around the lack of Bluetooth connectivity, the VS3 is an admirable fashion phone with most of the latest features, including a superb 1.3 megapixel camera and an intuitive flip button.

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

The K300i is highly recommended for anyone looking for an inexpensive phone for making calls and sending messages
