The HipTop Slide maintains its reputation for delivering a great mobile messaging solution, but its features are pale in comparison to some newer, more feature rich smartphones on the market.

The A411 represents decent value for money, but don't expect this handset to provide rich multimedia, despite access to Telstra's Next G portal.

The MBW-150 makes minimal improvements over its predecessor in terms of functionality, so it remains an expensive device considering the features offered.

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.

HTC's TyTN II is one of the most outstanding smartphones we've ever reviewed. A few minor improvements and this could well have been a five-star product.

For those who like the idea of practically carrying a mini-notebook in their pocket, the E90 Communicator is one of the most comprehensive available. It won't appeal to everyone but despite the lack of TV-out and fax features, it is the best of business phones.

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

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

The U300 is certainly a stylish looking handset, but it has too many faults to be recommended as a wise purchase.

The W910i is another excellent addition to the Walkman range, combining a well-crafted design with some new music features. It doesn't come cheap, but provided you don't require an exceptional camera, this handset is definitely another winner.

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.
