The H680 is well designed and has reasonable incoming sound quality, but its let-down by poor outgoing sound.

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

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.

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 8800 Arte is a stunning handset to look at, but its exuberant price means you don't get much bang for your buck.

The Sapphire Arte 8800 commands a price that would make even the most ardent fashionista baulk. Its huge asking price won't get you the most advanced features though.

The EasyTouch's personalised home screen is an excellent feature, but the rest of this handset is solid, without offering anything outstanding.

Despite the N82's tiny keypad and questionable all-plastic design, it remains a solid handset boasting a long list of features.

The Ultimate 9502 is one of the first HSUPA-capable phones to hit the market in Australia. Although it's feature packed and the Custom and Secure i-Q portals are a nice touch, you'll need to consider whether its bulky form factor is right for you.

Although it acts as a dual-function device, the Voyager 855 is best suited as a regular Bluetooth headset, providing excellent in-call audio quality. The detachable earpiece is a nice idea, but the small buttons and average sound quality diminish its appeal.

Vodafone's 411 is a solid, if not outstanding handset that has a reasonable features list for its inexpensive asking price.

A basic handset without most of the bells and whistles, Vodafone's 226 is a competent, but not outstanding prepaid phone.
