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

At this price, the U300 offers excellent value. It won't blow you away but it's a solid, entry level 3G handset that should suit many users.

The KF390 is a competitive offering for rural consumers, but it is also great for city slickers too. It won’t blow you away with features, but this is a solid handset that does the job with minimal fuss.

The EF81 is a decent 3G offering with a solid features set, but users will be frustrated by its slow user interface and sluggish load times.

The A551 is a solid, but not outstanding mobile phone. It does a relatively basic job and access to the Next G services is notable, but there is nothing that sticks out about this handset.

The E51 has some questionable design choices, which have dragged down the overall quality of the product, but it's a sturdy phone with all the features a business user could possibly need.

Although the U830's stylish design and solid features are a welcome addition to the HSDPA market, they are ultimately let down by very a poor battery life

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.

If you want a slim, lightweight phone that can access Telstra's Next G content portal but is otherwise light on frills, the TU500 is a good candidate. Heavy multimedia users should look elsewhere.

The N93 is an excellent phone video recorder, but an average mobile due to its sheer size and slow interface. It's a tradeoff for the extra features, but we're not sure that most users will be able to bear the extra size and weight.

Although it has some design issues, the F256 should appeal to those who are on a budget, but still want access to the BigPond range of services through the high-speed Next G network.

The F852 is a solid but far from outstanding option. Its appeal lies in the fact that it can access the full range of Next G services and content on a relatively inexpensive plan.
